The 50th anniversary of the start of The Bee Gees will be celebrated this November with the release of two retrospectives to be released by the surviving members.

First up is a 4-disc collection called “Mythology.” There will be a disc for each brother, Barry, Robin, and Maurice, as well as one for their brother Andy. Each disc has songs selected by each brother, with Maruice’s wife and three children choosing the tracks for his disc, and Andy’s daughter Petra selecting the tracks for his disc.

The other release is a more modest 2-disc collection called “The Ultimate Bee Gees: The 50th Anniversary Collection,” which will feature a  more concise collection of their hits, ending with a live medley of songs that they wrote for other artists over the years. Some of those include: Islands In The Stream, Heartbreaker, and the theme from “Grease.”

Both discs will be release on November 3rd.

TOMMY Celebrates Its 40th Anniversary
with the worldwide digital release of the performance by the
LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
AND CHAMBRE CHOIR WITH GUEST SOLOISTS

The deaf, dumb and blind boy is 40 years old this summer! And to commemorate this unforgettable event, Ode Records presents the London Symphony Orchestra joined by The Who and other distinguished guests performing this classic album.

Considered the first album to be recognized as a “Rock opera,” Tommy is celebrating its 40th with this all-star production featuring; Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Rod Stewart, John Entwistle, Merry Clayton, Steve Winwood, Richie Havens, Richard Harris, Ringo Starr, Maggie Bell, Graham Bell and Sandy Denny.

Tommy was originally released in 1969 as the first concept album in the history of rock & roll and went straight to #2 in the UK charts. In 1972 entrepreneur Lou Reizner presented the concert version of Tommy backed up by The London Symphony Orchestra and Chambre Choir with guest appearances. The piece landed Pete Townshend’s support because he saw it as the realization of what he had visualized when he wrote the original piece, with multiple instruments in mind.

This release of Tommy was performed by a 100-piece orchestra and was one of the more elaborately conceived albums of its era. It became a gold record, selling in excess of 500,000 units. Tommy hits all digital stores next week, but is available one week early on iTunes, so grab it now!
