Review :
{^Their Greatest Hits: The Record} stands as the best {$Bee Gees} hits package available, assembling both vital European and American hits from their early-'60s period all the way through to 2001. Disc one includes their major '60s and early-'70s hits, up to {&"You Should Be Dancing."} Included are their major American hits, such as {&"New York Mining Disaster 1941,"} {&"Massachusetts,"} {&"To Love Somebody,"} {&"Lonely Days,"} {&"How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,"} {&"Jive Talkin',"} {&"Nights on Broadway,"} and {&"Words,"} as well as major European hits, such as {&"World"} and the gorgeous {&"Don't Forget to Remember."} Also included on disc one is the former B-side {&"If I Can't Have You"} (popularized, of course, by {$Yvonne Elliman}). Disc two continues the formula, beginning with the cultural phenomenon that was {&"Stayin' Alive"} and continuing with {&"How Deep Is Your Love,"} {&"Night Fever,"} {&"Too Much Heaven,"} {&"Tragedy,"} and {&"Love You Inside and Out."} Disc two also includes {$Barry Gibb}'s hit duet with {$Barbra Streisand}, {&"Guilty,"} as well as major European hits such as {&"You Win Again"} and {&"For Whom the Bell Tolls,"} and later American hits such as {&"One,"} {&"Alone,"} and their superb 2001 single {&"This Is Where I Came In."} As a bonus treat, the album includes four newly recorded versions of {$Bee Gees} songs which became hits for other artists. These include {&"Emotion,"} which was popularized by {$Samantha Sang} and later {$Destiny's Child}; {&"Heartbreaker,"} which was a comeback smash for {$Dionne Warwick}; the chart-topping {&"Islands in the Stream,"} which was a hit for {$Kenny Rogers} and {$Dolly Parton}; and {&"Immortality,"} a European hit for {$Celine Dion}. A wonderful, stellar collection through and through from one of the {\rock} era's biggest, brightest, most influential, and most exciting acts. [The Japanese edition adds {&"Melody Fair"} and {&"My World"} as bonus tracks.] ~ Jose F. Promis, All Music Guide
