I checked both my US 2010 box set as well as the new repackaged one and did not detect any of the anomalies you have on your disc. Digressing, when I received the new repackaged set from Amazon UK the discs were housed in a 6-disc jewel case. For a brief moment I thought they'd screwed me of the Robin disc until I checked under the booklet. Still, had to get a replacement set as there was a nick in the Barry disc which resulted in several seconds worth of skipping. The replacement set was a regular 4-disc jewel case... I suppose the first one was a collector's item as well. ;-) Hmm, I wonder what a 6-disc Mythology set would have looked like? /Ronnie Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2012 20:02:51 +0800 From: Paul Bache <paulbache@westnet.com.au> Subject: Re: Message from Spencer As soon as I read Spencer's statement I was left with more questions than answers, maybe it's a Gibb thing, finding it difficult to communicate. If the whole point of his post was to put speculation to rest, he hasn't done a very good job. I was waiting f To strongly state that he would love nothing more than to be on this tour, and that it would be a lot of fun, seems to imply that he really wants to be there. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he's a busy guy with his own life, but to pass up the chance of per To simply say that the option is not on the table leaves everyone wondering what that means. If he has other things he is involved with and simply cannot commit the time then say so. If Barry has not asked him to be part of it then say so, if its the latt What possible reason could Barry have for inviting Steven and Melissa and not Spencer. It just doesn't add up. Surely if this tour is a celebration of Barry's brothers, and he has his own son on stage, and Mo's daughter, isn't it glaringly obvious that to have Robins son, who is also a performing musician in his own right, a fitting and perhaps necessary completio Am I missing something here. All in all, more questions than answers, as usual. Paul - Oz. On 28/12/2012, at 7:37 AM, compoccias@aol.com wrote: >=20 >=20 >=20 >> Thanks for giving us Spencer's message.

A family that lived in the house escaped unharmed. But the house the Gibb brothers paid a nostalgic visit to about a decade ago was gutted. Neighbour Marion Lean said the brothers obviously had a soft spot for the old place. "I think it was the last place they lived in before they went back to England," she told AAP. She said the Gibb boys had used her nature strip to park their stretch limos when they paid a quick visit to their old home about 10 years ago. "We knew they were coming and the elderly lady who lived there at the time even prepared some afternoon tea, but they had a show on so they didn't stop," Mrs Lean said. "They got out and ran back to the house and had a look, and then got back into their limos again." The fire started in one of the bedrooms and quickly spread to other parts of the home, the Department of Community Safety said. Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb spent time growing up around Redcliffe, north of Brisbane, and lived in a number of houses in the area before going on to win global acclaim for their music. Earlier this year, there was talk of a memorial being erected to honour the brothers either in Redcliffe, or in Brisbane. Maurice Gibb died in 2003 while his twin, Robin, died this year.
