Bee Gees "Best Of Bee Gees Volume 2"

Best of Bee Gees Volume 2 is a compilation album of hits by the Bee Gees released in 1973. The album, briefly revived on CD in the late 1980s, went out of print, but was reissued by Rhino in November 2008.

Whereas the original Best of Bee Gees had focused on songs that had been major hits for the group in America and/or the United Kingdom up to 1969, this follow-up collection featured two cuts from each of the four studio albums released subsequent to the first compilation, all of which, barring Man For All Seasons, had been single A-sides, along with the soundtrack contribution Morning of My Life, Robin Gibb's solo hit Saved by the Bell and the single only hit My World. The album also featured one song each from their early albums Horizontal, Idea and Odessa all of which had charted as singles in non-Anglophone territories. The album featured nothing from Bee Gees' 1st which had already been represented by five tracks on the earlier compilation. As such it serves as a collection of hits through from late 1969 to 1972 plus popular cuts from earlier albums.

The front cover featured a group photograph from the same photoshoot that had been sourced for the front cover of their Life in a Tin Can album released earlier that year, despite the fact that nothing from that album appeared on this compilation.
