A couple of CD boxes to look back at The Bee Gees' career

“”Mythology” is a four-disc box set curated and produced by surviving Bee Gees Barry and Robin Gibb that will dedicate one disc each to the three brothers in the group, including the late Maurice Gibb, and one to their late younger brother Andy Gibb.

Maurice’s wife and three children chose the tracks for his disc, while Andy’s daughter Peta chose the 19 songs for his section of the package.
Barry Gibb notes that the 81 selections represent “pretty much our personal favorites,” and Robin and Maurice’s discs will each feature solo tracks as well as Bee Gees songs.

Barry’s disc, meanwhile, is loaded up with hits such as “Jive Talkin’,” “Stayin’ Alive,” “Night Fever,” “Spirits (Having Flown),” “More Than a Woman” an “Tragedy.”

The accompanying booklet includes family photos and tributes from Elton John, Brian Wilson, Graham Nash, George Martin and Robert Stigwood, the Bee Gees’ longtime manager and label boss.

Coming out the same day is “The Ultimate Bee Gees: The 50th Anniversary Collection,” a more modest two-disc, 39-track set that closes with a live medley of songs the trio wrote for others — including “Islands in the Stream,” “Heartbreaker,” “Guilty,” “Immortality” and the theme song for “Grease.”

A deluxe edition of “The Ultimate Bee Gees” will come with a DVD featuring videos and TV appearances, many unreleased, from throughout the group’s career.”
