Bee Gees will celebrate 50 years of music-making in November with two major releases.
Mythology (a four-disc boxed set) and Ultimate Bee Gees: The 50th Anniversary (a retrospective two-disc package with a DVD of unreleased material) will be available through the Reprise label on November 2.
Each of Mythology's four discs will spotlight a different Gibb brother, including one dedicated to Andy who died in 1988.
Spanning the band's five-decade career, the set's 81 tracks are a mixture of hits and early album cuts. The set also features two previously unreleased Maurice Gibb tracks: Angel Of Mercy and The Bridge.
Both new collections have been put together by Robin and Barry Gibb.
