Before the falsettos and the disco ball, there was this: Best of Bee Gees gathers the brothers Gibb's first wave of hits on a single CD edition, imported from Argentina, twelve songs strong.

First released in 1969, the compilation captures the trio's remarkable late-1960s run, when Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb were writing aching, beautifully harmonised pop songs at a pace that rivalled anyone in the business. Their sound blended Beatles-era melody with orchestral drama and a melancholy streak that set them apart from their peers, and these songs became standards recorded by artists around the world.

"New York Mining Disaster 1941," their breakthrough, is a haunting, slow-building tale of trapped miners told with eerie restraint. "To Love Somebody," written with Otis Redding in mind, is pure soul in pop clothing, while "Massachusetts" floats on a gentle, homesick melody that took them to the top of the charts. "I Started a Joke" showcases Robin's trembling, unforgettable lead vocal over a hushed, almost hymn-like arrangement.

Elsewhere, tender ballads and brisk pop singles alternate, filling out a set with barely a weak moment.

For fans who know the Bee Gees mainly through Saturday Night Fever, this is the essential first chapter, a reminder that the brothers were master songwriters long before the dance floor came calling.
