LOS ANGELES -- The Bee Gees were already established hitmakers in the U.S. and the U.K. when the group became an unstoppable musical force in 1975. In four short years, Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb rose to international superstardom as they recorded a string of worldwide hits, sold 180 million records worldwide and helped define an era with the Grammy--winning Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. The Brothers Gibb capped their amazing run in 1979 with the multiplatinum BEE GEES GREATEST, a double album spotlighting the group's meteoric run of R&B dance hits between 1975 and 1979.

LOS ANGELES — The Bee Gees’ phenomenal success in the 1970s often obscures the fact that by the time the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack redefined R&B dance music, the trio already had more than ten albums and a string of worldwide hits under their belts. The November 7 release of THE STUDIO ALBUMS 1967-1968 — the initial installment of the first-ever catalog upgrade for the group — shows that The Brothers Gibb possessed the musical Midas touch from the very beginning.
