The Bee Gees
Idea
Like most early Bee Gees albums, IDEA is remember chiefly for it's hit singles; in
this case "I've Gotta Get a Message to You" and "I Started a Joke". As usual, the
rest of the album is full of equally impressive popcraft. In 1968, the BeeGees were
still in their Beatles-influenced mode, and IDEA,like HORIZONTAL and 1ST, deserves
a place on the historicalshelf right alongside British pop legends like the Fab Fourand
the Zombies. Things start out expansively, with the orchestrated, celebratory "Let
There Be Love". The group's trademark high three-part harmonies spice up the unassuming
folk-pop of "Kitty Can" and the Dylan-meets-Simon & Garfunkel "Such A Shame". The
aforementioned "I Started A Joke" is one of Robin Gibb's finest moments, as he delivers
one of the most tortured, angst-ridden vocals (and lyrics) in all of pop history.
IDEA is essential for fans of the early Bee Gees, and for aficionados of '60s British
pop in general.
Bee Gees 1st
In retrospect, it's easy to assume that the Beatles existed in an artistic vacuum,
with no musical peers. In fact, 1960s groups like the Beau Brummels, the Zombies,
and Australia's Bee Gees were proponents of a style that owed much to the Fab Four,
but they were also artists with a unique and distinctive vision. Early Aussie forays
aside, BEE GEES 1ST is the international debut of Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb,
three brothers whose trademark was a high, quavery, three-part harmony. Songs like
"Please Read Me" and the much-covered "To Love Somebody" combined a soul influence
with ornate, Beatlesque arrangements and dark, angst-ridden lyrics. The baroque-pop
carousel of "I Close My Eyes" and the moody folk-rockballad "New York Mining Disaster
1941" showed that the Gibbs had several tricks up their Edwardian sleeves.

Not to be excluded from the list of other artists that have released compilations
containing only #1 songs, the Bee Gees have no problems. Although some of the hits
didn't actually make #1 in the UK, some may have been #1 in several other countries,
prompting it to be thankfully included here.
The song "Man in the Middle" is included
as a tribute to the late Maurice Gibb. "Number Ones" features 20-

Bee Gees: In Our Own Time [DVD]
In Our Own Time is the compelling story of the Bee Gees career. From their roots
in the North West of England, through their early career in Australia, their return
to England and international breakthrough in the late sixties and then on to global
superstardom with Saturday Night Fever and beyond. Alongside the success there is
the heartache of the tragically early deaths of first their younger brother Andy
and then later Maurice. The story is told in their own words through in depth new
interviews with Barry and Robin Gibb and through extensive interviews with Maurice
filmed shortly before his death in January 2003. These are lavishly illustrated by
live performances, TV and film clips and home movies of their early days.
In Our Own
Time features clips of many of their greatest hits including: You Should Be Dancing
, New York Mining Disaster 1941, Massachusetts , Run To Me , Jive Talkin , Stayin
Alive , Night Fever , How Deep Is Your Love , Tragedy and You Win Again and their
collaborations such as Guilty with Barbara Streisand and Immortality with Celine
Dion.

Book:- Tales of the Brothers Gibb
Taken pretty much for granted during their first taste of 1960s' fame, the Bee Gees
have enjoyed many highs and endured equal lows on their musical journey through life.
Perhaps undervalued by the music industry during their first incarnation, recent
years have seen tributes to Manchester's Brothers Gibb grow larger and louder, as
new generations applaud the ingenuity-
The authors faced a mammoth task in researching 50 years of musical history and condensing
it into one volume. Sensibly, the three main authors enlisted the help of ¨berfans
