I unfortunatly missed lots of these great songs the first go around, thanks for giving the oppertunity to catch them now as you said all in one small package. I have looked in several stores for music from the bee gees and there are not any, hopefully this will change.

Looking forward to the Greatest Hits release! Got my boogie shoes on (they fit a little tighter than they used to)! Ahhh...what great memories...:)

Yes ,the package may be tight but the contents are surely explosive. Looking forward to getting my copy of "The Greatest Hits".
How much extra for the chest hair, medallions and of course those tight pants Barry? Thanks for those great memories. You're the BEST!

Hey Barry!

I already picked up both at Costco today! Wah hoo! What a surprise! I didn't think they would be out for another week! They both look awesome. Congrats on more success!

I was kinda young to be boogie-ing or growing chest hair or even packing pants back then, but I sure did enjoy seeing you and your brothers do it!! Looking forward to hearing some of the new mixes on the Greatest! Any chance those pants will come back in style? Wink wink!

Feeling nostalgic,

Wow, Barry,
I got the new Greatest Hits today but haven't had a chance to listen to it.
Would love to hear what you think!!!!!!!! What can I say, if it's Bee Gees it's got to be good!

Congratulations on this milestone- being around (and popular enough) for your recordings to be re-released- that is quite an accomplishment- one that many must envy.

If it was TRULY your greatest, it would have hundreds of songs on it. Maybe they should rename it "SOME of Their Greatest." (Though this does encompass 90% of my MOST favorite ones!)

You'd be happy to know that Amazon already sent me an ad for this, Impact and SNF30. How fast can they deliver?!!!!

Oh How awesome, I received today from Rhino Records, the Bee Gees Greatest. Awe Man, everything yall do is The Greatest. I also just ordered the Boxed set with the tee shirt, I am so excited to get that. Also waiting on my DVD's from VH1 Classics on you guys. I was getting ready to take a shower and my hubby Lee, came running in saying, "there's something on about the Bee Gees you probaby want to see" I ran in to the "telly", ha, (I'm from Tenn) and it was VH1 Classic and the Story Tellers on yall. I have so many CD's, 45's, Albums, etc., of you guys and I have heard for the first time today, "Warm Ride". This song is soooooo gooood. How have I not heard it before? Thank you, Thank you, for all the beautiful music. The Bee Gees will always have a place in my heart. The voices of Angels.

Hey Barry- Me, OkCjules, Jeepgirl and Jrob are taking a nice long warm ride on you tonight. GREAT SONG!!

Hi Barry,Happy 30th to all involved with SNF!!!Really loved the music-my all time favorite from this movie is"HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE",truly a beautiful song.Seen SNF a few times-liked to watch John Travolta dance,but to me the music deserved alot more credit -written & sang to perfection!!!LOVE,LOVE,LOVE"THE BEE GEES"-you are the tops!

I dug out a pair of platforms, found my old slave bracelet, put on my best shiny wine colored pants with my silver body suit and got down with my bad self. I wondered where I'd put that medallion! Actually, I just went out and bought the album so I could have the extras which weren't on the original I had bought (never mind how many years ago!).
Hugs & Love,

Hey Barry,
Glad to have a copy on CD now. Have the old LP and worn that one out. I love the remixes on the CD. Good to have on CD now and I can listen to this one over and over.
Thanks for re-releasing and adding bonuses
Hugs to you and family,

Barry, we all love the album, special to me is the Warm Ride in BG version !!! GREAT!

26. Posted on Monday, September 24 at 07:40 PM by dallison

And what a "nice" tight little package....

27. Posted on Tuesday, September 25 at 02:54 AM by Beth Nelson

oh yeah!! Get down.......sounds good to me! I love the music from that era, though I was only about 12 when SNF came out, and I still love to 'get down' to all of those songs. They are special to me. Of course, the Bee Gees songs were and are the most special of all. You guys wrote songs after SNF that are just as good.....every album....I just love the versatility of the music and listening to each album, one gets to hear lots of different types of songs. Just last night I was watching old Bee Gees interviews that I have collected as well as on You Tube and I have these "Bee Gees fests" in which I do this from time to time and I just had a blast!!

28. Posted on Tuesday, September 25 at 06:40 AM by Alberto Martinez

Oh yes and we need mexican hats too.

29. Posted on Tuesday, September 25 at 06:50 AM by Alberto Martinez

32. Posted on Tuesday, September 25 at 09:18 PM by Heather Tanous

It's your Montana Girl again. and actually would love to slip on my bellbottoms and boogie all night.! I love going back and am hooked on your new music too! No comparison to the music of today and the options we have! Again, I truly hope this gets sent correctly, and maybe some day soon, this wont seem too good to be true that I may actually have a chance to chat with you Barry. I love you..and will continue to carry your music legacy to every one of the girls in Big Sky Country!

35. Posted on Wednesday, September 26 at 03:48 AM by Karen From Kansas

Sorry to weigh in twice, but speaking of Greatest...that CD cover is the greatest! I love it! It has already found a place on the shelf of my "Bee Gees Room!" Groovy!

What memories please keep them coming.

Barry,

Thank you for all the great music over the years and thank you, thank you SO much for finally releasing the 12" promo mix of Stayin' Alive. As a DJ, I have been waiting for this to be released on CD for years! Hearing it again takes me right back to 1978 and all those Saturday nights!

Best regards,

Chris Pickett

Barry you and the Bee Gees could re release songs from your albums for years to come and I will be there to get my copy everytime! As far as the Remixes, I enjoyed hearing a different 'version' of the songs but the remixes, IMO, sounded more 'dated' than the original stuff, which were perfect back then AND today. Why alter PERFECTION! Take care and our best to you and yours.

42. Posted on Monday, October 1 at 10:04 AM by Cindy

ahhh Barry, there is nothing LITTLE about that album.

50. Posted on Thursday, October 4 at 01:39 PM by Juan Perea y Monsuwé

Hahaha, awesomating! I own the original GREATEST cd, but I am very curious about "Warm Ride", so I guess today will be a good day to see if it is here in my local store.

And oww yeah, I always thought your flashy polyester outfits were very fashionable, some of them would have done great on Star Trek! (like the ones shown in the GREATEST sheet music songbook).

Fun times! :)

51. Posted on Thursday, October 4 at 11:21 PM by Lisa Marie

Since you didn't seem to hear me the first time...I said...

I was a little too young to be boogie-ing, growing chest hair, and packing my pants (not to mention the wrong sex); however, I sure did enjoy watching you and your brothers do it!! I am enjoying some of the new remixes on the CD! Congratulations on the success of the reissue as well

Thanks for the inspiration, thanks for the joy, thanks for the passion in the work - but most of all, thanks for FANNY.

Hi Barry:
I brought the greatest hits Cd and the SNF Dvd the day they both came out. I got to the store as soon as it opened. I Play the greatest cd all the time in my car (loud) enjoying the remixes . Take care and hugs to you and your family.

Love you always and forever. Nora (Stamford Connecticut

Barry I hope you use this great ocasion to join forces with your little brother! Is what would make Andy and Maurice happy. Don't you think?

55. Posted on Saturday, October 6 at 01:45 AM by alex

Congratulations Barry!!!!!!!!!
You have done it. As a band leader and the older brother you have proven over and over again that being tough and believing in yourself and your brothers will see the light at the end. The bee gees have been loved, hated and loved again but always kept on playing. Can this show somehow magicly go on???????????
To love somebody
At the end is nothing but dust and the wind. Don't throw our love away. You are the heart of Bee gees.

58. Posted on Friday, November 9 at 06:12 PM by Bethany Durocher Shinn

Dear Barry,

Just wanted to add my voice to let you know how much pleasure this 30th anniversary of SNF has provided for us! Got the CD, the new DVD and the T-shirt! Even went as far as entering a video of my daughter dancing in the You Should Be Dancing contest! We've had a ball (then and now)! Led me to watch a lot of video clips of YSBD and it was so wonderful to see see all of you together on the Spirits Tour in 1979!?!

Come on! Come on! Let's hear it for the Bee Gees (forever)! Can we ever thank you enough for what joy you have provided in a world that often isn't!

59. Posted on Saturday, November 10 at 01:00 AM by Tina

I had no idea you were releasing new material, I will definitely be looking for it! As many have said just can't get enough of your sound, transports me to a better place and time. Thanks again!

60. Posted on Saturday, November 10 at 02:19 PM by Steph

Who's BAD??

I'm bad!!

We're all BAD!

and loving it!

Warm Ride is a spectacular song, What we can do to include this song on the current charts ?

62. Posted on Tuesday, November 27 at 07:50 PM by Kay Gibbs

I sware I used to wear a medallion (Medallions?), I almost forgot about it. I can't remember what it looked like.

63. Posted on Wednesday, November 28 at 09:43 AM by Dan Stafford

Barry, I listened to all these songs when they were #1 all over the charts the first time around - I was in high school then, and they were the songs we grew up with. I have the double CD set, it's great to have around. I have Saturday Night Fever and several other CD's of Disco around where I work out - not only is it energetic, but a lot of the lyrics are empowering and upbeat. Unlike the majority of music these days. So much seems to be about sadness and heartbreak, not enough about joy. I have to wonder what that's doing to our collective unconscious. Honestly, I think the music from earlier was better for us because it was more emotionally balanced, across the human spectrum. Your work was a large part of that. All the best, and sorry that your dog isn't feeling well - hope it gets better soon.

Dan
