The Bee Gees Mythology

Mythology is the 4 CD boxed set of the legendary group the Bee Gees. In this boxed CD set that was released in 2010 but was just released an few weeks ago in Australia it has the the songs that were chosen by Barry, Robin, Maurice's widow Yvonne and Andy's daughter Peta Gibb and it has the well known songs as well as the album tracks, 2 of Robin's solo hits Saved By the Bell and Juliet and some of the songs that was not on CD before. It's an BRILLIANT CD with great songs which still endures after all those years and sounds just as great as ever. This year has been an sad year for the Bee Gees with the passing of Robin Gibb, it's been 9 years since Maurice passed away and 24 years since Andy passed away but their works lives on in the music which leaves Barry the only surviving brother. The booklet in the book is just great with pictures of them as well as tributes from people like Col Joye(Australian rock singer who took the Bee Gees to Sydney), Nat Kipner(US born songwriter and producer who worked with the Bee Gees in Australia as well as co founded the Sunshine label as working with Aussie artists like Lonnie Lee, Normie ROwe, Johnny Devlin NZ born rocker), Steve Kipner(Nat's son who was in Steve and the Board back in the 60's with the hit single Giggled Eyed Goo and Tin Tin and is an successful songwriter), Cliff Richard, record producer Sir George Martin, manager Robert Stigwood, olivia Newton John, Tom Jones,Brian Wilson,Kenny Rogers,Dionne Warwick, Celine Dion,Ronan Keating, Taylor Swift and many others. it's great to see all 4 brothers on one CD and it's an must for any popular music fans as well as Bee Gees fans too. I am giving this 5 stars and it's in the shops now.
