Even amid those hits, the best song on this album, and the one that Bee Gees fans were least likely to own already, is easily 'Morning of My Life,' one of the first records that the group recorded after getting back together in 1971, from the Melody soundtrack album. These included 'Don't Want to Live Inside Myself' and 1968's Horizontal album for 'And the Sun Will Shine,' 1969's slightly offbeat country-style single 'Don't Forget to Remember,' Robin Gibb's solo release 'Saved by the Bell,' and the delightful Bee Gees reggae-flavored 'I.O.I.O.' Also included were some of the group's better album cuts, including 'Man for All Seasons' from 2 Years On. Thus, in addition to the obvious international chart hits 'How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,' 'Lonely Days,' 'Run to Me,' and 'My World,' the producers had to reach out to lesser-charting songs. And, in a way, the timing was fortuitous in that there weren't nearly enough post-1969 hits to fill up the album. Ideally, RSO Records could have waited another year or more before doing a second best-of album, but as the Bee Gees' Life in a Tin Can album and the accompanying single had barely charted, and their intended follow-up, 'A Kick in the Head Is Worth Eight in the Pants,' had been junked after an extended period in production, Best of Bee Gees, Vol. 2, by contrast, was released amid the collapse of the group's commercial fortunes that had begun in late 1972. The group's first best-of album had coincided with the trio's split in mid-1969, a point when they had more than enough hits worldwide (a couple of which had never been on album) to justify and fill such an album.

This album, which originally appeared on LP in several slightly different versions and song lineups in different countries, came out at an unlikely moment.
