Bee Gees - I Am The World/The Complete Singles 1963-2014 (BF 2019 Upgrade/Update)


When I posted the original version of this on a private forum last year, I had some misgivings about not being able to locate some of the original mixes and there were a few bad needle drops. Revisiting it recently, I was able to fix nearly all the problems and also found a couple tracks that I missed the first time around. So here it is! Volume Two is now mono only, the set has been expanded to eleven volumes (taking care of the final volume's overrun and making volumes three and eight mostly solo singles) that better tells each chapter of their long story. This is the only set tells the complete story, including solo singles and work for others, using original (as much as possible) original single mixes/edits.  There's a lot of hard-to-find material here.

This update/upgrade now stands as the one I originally wanted to post. Too bad there isn't a collection like this available to buy. They have earned it. I actually shared the first version with The Bee Gees' reissue producer and never got an answer. Pretty unprofessional, IMO.  All @320.. Note that non-Bee Gee tracks are included if they wrote, produced AND sang on the single. That's why I had to leave out Islands In The Stream and some other singles.

  1. Great comp, as usual... BUT! I can think of at least 3 sides you missed (maybe 4*):

    1) And I'll Be Happy
    2) House Without Windows

    This was a Festival rarity billed as "Trevor Gordon and The Bee Gees", and was the only Spin Records single in which the Gibbs shared label credit with another artist. (Trevor would later go on to form the late 60s duo "Marbles" who were proteges of The Bee Gees.) You can find both tracks on the "Assault The Vaults" compilation. If you can't, let me know and I'll email them to ya.

    3) Throw A Penny (3:32 version)
    Sadly, I *don't" have this one! :(

    4)* Just for funsies (as Kenny Everett used to say): The infamous fan-club record "The Rescue of Bonnie Prince Wally". The Gibbs used to make Goon Show tapes like this all the time, according to an article in Rolling Stone, but this one was the only one that ever got released. (You can find this on YouTube!)

    But that's all that's missing. Otherwise, a great comp, as usual! Thanks!

  2. I sit corrected; the Trevor Gordon/Bee Gees single was on Leedon Records, not Spin.

  3. Hey Furrball, thanks for your offer. If you can send me a link to DL the missing songs (that you have), I'll update the collection! Thanks too for looking over my comp - I'm not an expert on Bee Gees.
