Closet Bee Gees fans, take note: this spring, a sprawling, 81-track box set will be available for your obsessive listening. The compilation, called Mythology, will feature four discs and "50 years of memories."
Compiled by Barry and Robin Gibb, along the surviving family members of Maurice and Andy Gibb, each of the compilation's four discs will focus on one Gibb brother. In the liner notes, Barry writes, "These are pretty much our personal favorites...This is now the Bee Gees 50th anniversary. And by the Bee Gees, I mean all four brothers."
Robin adds, "I always see our songs as 'just us brothers' having a good time. When I look back now, it is more about the journey, not the arrival."
Along with the huge collection of tracks, the set also includes rare family photos and tributes from artists like Brian Wilson, Elton John and Graham Nash.
The Mythology box set is due in stores on March 9 via Rhino.
