Limited translucent purple vinyl LP pressing. Best Of Bee Gees was released in June 1969, and it features a prime selection of the early hit singles that established the group's broad musical palette. The twelve gems comprising Best Of are among the most popular songs of the then-burgeoning group's canon, including the desperately pleading I Gotta Get A Message To You, Barry's classic balladry vocal on Words, the harmoniously soulful classic To Love Somebody, the pure pop perfection of Massachusetts, Robin's signature vocal on I Started A Joke, and the skillful buildup of Spicks and Specks, the latter song being The Bee Gees' first-ever No. 1 record in their homeland of Australia.
