Now it is so because, the Box, on the barely a Bee Gees fan has really been waiting for. A year after The Ultimate Bee Gees is the 50th anniversary of the brothers Gibb in the final round. This nicely laid out Box (fits just fine in the bookcase) but is hardly celebratory mood on. On CD 1 and 2, there are hits of the band from 4 decades, including some in the mono versions, as they were released as a single in the 60s ('Barker of the UFO', 'Spicks and Specks', 'I Am The World' and 'Sir Geoffrey Saved the World' for example, but also 'I've Gotta Get A Message To You'). Otherwise no surprises. CD 3 is dedicated to Maurice Gibb and includes some solo material. From 'Railroad' than 'Hold Me In Your Hand' to the few rarities of the box, 'Angel Of Mercy' and 'The Bridge'. 'Angel of Mercy', recorded in 1995 by Carola, was well as the wonderful song 'The Bridge', in which Maurice's daughter Samantha sings a verse of Maurice Gibb in the run-up to 2001 album This Is Where I Came in recorded. CD 4 is devoted to the problem of child Gibbs, Andy Gibb. Here all his hits are gathered, plus a few completely irrelevant Andy Gibb compositions. The previously unreleased track 'Arrow Through The Heart' makes this no exception.
Conclusion: Of course, this retrospective documents a career, to Barry and Robin Gibb can be justly proud. And this must also be appreciated anyway. However, this box leaves somehow a bad aftertaste. She seems superfluous - even if the booklet countless musicians and companions express their (positive) opinions, it is and remains an annoying disappointment, especially if you have paid 50 or more Euro (tip: Amazon in England costs the Box measly 16 British pounds. I've also bought my.) Even for die-hard fans not a must.
