Best of Bee Gees is the first compilation album of international hits by the Bee Gees. The original 1969 vinyl release included the Bee Gees' 1966 Australian top ten hit "Spicks and Specks", but due to licensing issues with Festival Records in Australia, the group's 1969 hit "Tomorrow, Tomorrow" was substituted on the Polydor CD release. The album is noted by fans for its bad stereo mix of the song "Words", which increased the vocals so much that the percussion was lost in the background. This is the only album/CD with this mix. All future compilations have the proper stereo mix which is more balanced. Vince Melouney, although playing guitar on most of the tracks, is not pictured on the front or back cover as he departed the group 1 year earlier.

With the release of Their Greatest Hits: The Record in 2001, this CD is currently out of print.
