About Bee Gees Mythology Curated and produced by Barry and Robin Gibb, MYTHOLOGY contains four discs, each spotlighting a different Gibb brother, including one dedicated to Andy, who was not start of the group. The songs were chosen by Barry, Robin, Maurice's widow Yvonne and Andy's daughter Peta.

"These are pretty much our personal favorites," Barry explains in the liner notes, which were scripted by the family.

"This is now the Bee Gees 50th Anniversary. And by the Bee Gees I count all four brothers." "I ever see our songs as 'simply us three brothers' having a good time," adds Robin Gibb. "When I look back now, it is more nearly the journey, not the arrival." 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. 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 catalog to highlight deep tracks such as the other 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; "Overnight" (1987) from the multi-platinum ESP; "Closer Than Close" (1997) from Still Waters; and "Man In The Middle" (2001) from the Bee Gees 20th and last studio album before Maurice's passing in 2003. MYTHOLOGY also features the creation of a couple of previously unreleased Maurice Gibb tracks - "Angel Of Clemency" and "The Bridge." The last disc spotlights Andy Gibb, who was not a member of Bee Gees, but worked with his brothers throughout his calling before his end in 1988 at the age of 30. The compilation opens with "Shadow Dancing" (1978), a #1 smash co-written by all four brothers that appeared on Andy's second album. Nearly all of the songs from his 1977 debut Flowing River are featured, including the back-to-back #1 singles: "I Just Want To Be Your Everything" and "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water." The set contains "I Can't Help It," a duo with Olivia Newton-John that cracked the Top 20 and several tracks from his last studio album After Dark (1980), including the Top 10 single "Desire." MYTHOLOGY also marks the introduction of "Arrow Through The Heart," a song Andy recorded shortly before his end that was intended for a comeback album. Bee Gees, http://www.beegees.com/
