The Ultimate Bee Gees is a compilation album released to coincide with the 50'th anniversary of the Bee Gees. Though the group didn't start recording until 1963 on Festival Records in Australia, they began calling themselves the "Bee Gees" in 1959 after several name changes such as "Wee Johnny Hayes and the Bluecats", "The Rattlesnakes" and "BG's". Originally, each disc was themed with the first containing more upbeat songs, called A Night Out, and the second containing slower songs and ballads, called A Night In, though the cover art does not distinguish this theme. Liner notes were written by Sir Tim Rice.

三副足以駕馭真、假音歌唱技巧的嗓子，三個跨越類型音樂創作極限的靈魂，一個默契絕佳的超級樂團－比吉斯合唱團，他們創造了無數的驚人紀錄：他們是流行音樂史上十大最成功的歌手團體之一、在全球締造逾兩億張的專輯銷售成績、擁有超過50張美國告示牌Top10專輯、寫下超過15首全美冠軍歌曲、打造出的【週末的狂熱】電影原聲帶在全球熱賣3千萬張(史上最暢銷電影原聲帶Top5之一)、為主流電影譜寫超過100首歌曲配樂、是唯一同時擁有5首歌曲登上全美單曲排行榜Top10的團體、囊括16座葛萊美獎提名、贏得7座葛萊美獎、1994年入列「詞曲創作名人殿堂」、1997年入列「搖滾名人殿堂」、1997年全英音樂獎「終生成就獎」得主、2000年全美錄音協會「終生成就獎」得主、2001年入列「合唱團體名人殿堂」、2002 年受英國女皇授與「大英帝國司令勳章」、榮獲2003年葛萊美傳奇獎、2006年英國Ivor Novello音樂獎榮譽會員獎，更有超過6千位歌手團體曾翻唱過比吉斯歌曲，林林總總的榮譽獎項都一再證明了比吉斯對流行音樂的傳奇貢獻。

2009年，正值比吉斯成軍屆滿五十周年之際，Rhino廠牌推出“The Ultimate Bee Gees”來慶祝這值得慶祝紀念的一年，匯集你所聽過最耳熟能詳的比吉斯經典排行榜歌曲，包括全美單曲榜#16「Holiday」、英國單曲榜#12「New York Mining Disaster 1941」、全美單曲榜#17「To Love Somebody」、全美單曲榜#9「World」、英國單曲榜#8「Words」、英國單曲榜#1「Massachusetts」、「I’ve Gotta Get A Message To You」、全美單曲榜#6「I Started A Joke」、英國單曲榜#6「First Of May」、全美單曲榜#1「How Can You Mend A Broken Heart」、「Jive Talkin’」、「You Should Be Dancing」、【週末的狂熱】電影原聲帶中四首超紅金曲「How Deep Is Your Love」、「Stayin’ Alive」、「Night Fever」、「More Than A Woman」，以及1979年全球狂賣3千萬張“Spirit Having Flown”專輯中的「Too Much Heaven」、「Tragedy」、「Love You Inside Out」三首全部拿下全美單曲榜冠軍的單曲等等…，全部都陪伴過不少西洋樂迷的年少舞廳歲月，就算是未逢比吉斯盛世的年輕人們，也絕對是聽過這些到現在都還是電台時常放送的西洋經典。此套“成軍50周年終極紀念精選”與其他市面上所見到的比吉斯精選最大的不同，是在於此套除了有雙CD之外，DVD的部分更收錄了過去比吉斯於電視節目上的演出畫面，以及當時專輯僅供宣傳用途的珍貴稀有影像畫面，都是非常值得收藏的歷史畫面！

In conjunction with 同時發生 the 50th anniversary of The Bee Gees (when they started calling themselves 'Bee Gees' in 1959), Rhino Records is releasing two new collections. Mythology is a four-disc collection highlighting each brother, including Andy, with tracks personally selected by Barry, Robin, Maurice's wife Yvonne (with his children Adam and Samantha), and Andy's daughter Peta. Maurice's disc contains two unreleased tracks called "Angel Of Mercy" and "The Bridge". Andy's disc contains the unreleased track "Arrow Through The Heart". Mythology also features a scrapbook of family photos, many never-before published, along with tributes from artists such as George Martin, Brian Wilson, Elton John, Graham Nash and the band's longtime manager Robert Stigwood.



　　同一天發行的另外一套Mythology是一套四張的套裝CD唱片，由Bee Gees組合兩位健在的成員Barry Gibb和Robin Gibb協助製作。每一張CD都是向Bee Gees一位成員的致敬，其中包括已故的Maurice Gibb和他們已故的小弟Andy Gibb。 Maurice Gibb的妻子和三個孩子為Maurice的那張碟挑選了歌曲，而Andy Gibb的那部分則由他的女兒Peta挑選，共選了19首歌曲。

　　Barry Gibb在專輯註解中寫到，這81首歌曲代表了「我們每個人的最愛」，而Robin和Maurice的那兩張CD中既有他們的個人單曲，也有在Bee Gees組合時期的作品。附贈的小冊子中有Gibbs一家人的各種照片，還有Elton John、Graham Nash、George Martin等人致敬與祝福。

這兩套專輯記錄了Bee Gees & Andy Gibb的演唱歷程，所有暢銷歌曲完整蒐錄，是非常值得收藏的專輯。
