Bee Gees - the legacy of 4 brothers - 'Mythology'

The Bee Gees' influential music earned brothers Barry and the late Robin and Maurice Gibb an extended family of devoted fans.

Produced to mark the group's golden anniversary this very special boxed set was created by Barry and Robin Gibb with the siblings sharing 50 years of memories in this stunning musical and visual scrapbook. The beautifully repackaged four-disc boxed set MYTHOLOGY will be available on 3 December 2012.

MYTHOLOGY contains four discs, each spotlighting a different Gibb brother, including one dedicated to Andy. The songs were personally chosen in 2010 by Barry, Robin, Maurice's widow Yvonne (and their children Adam and Samantha), and Andy's daughter Peta.

"These are pretty much our personal favourites," Barry explains in the liner notes. "This is now the Bee Gees 50th anniversary. And by the Bee Gees, I mean all four brothers." "I always see our songs as 'just us brothers' having a good time," added Robin. "When I look back now, it is more about the journey, not the arrival."

MYTHOLOGY also features a collection 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 long-time manager Robert Stigwood.

More poignant that ever, Mythology was created in 2010 by Barry with his brother Robin who sadly died earlier this year on 20 May 2012. Both Barry and Robin's own word's accompany this brilliant body of work.

Spanning the Bee Gees' five-decade career, the set's 81 tracks touch on several of the group's best-known hits. But mainly, the collection digs into the Bee Gees' vast catalogue to highlight deep tracks such as the early single "Spicks And Specks" (1966); the title track from the 1969 concept album Odessa; the single B-side "Country Woman" (1971); "Spirits (Having Flown)" (1979), the title track from the 35 million-selling album; "The Longest Night" (1987) from the multiplatinum E•S•P; "Closer Than Close" (1997) from Still Waters; and "Man In The Middle" (2001) from the Bee Gees' 20th and final studio album before Maurice's passing in 2003.
