Just did a bit of snooping, and the entire fourth disk of “Mythology” is Andy’s. Why they don’t put his name on it is beyond me. So there you have it! ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > I also like Rhapsody. Reasons: For $10 a month, I can listen to all of the music available without buying individual albums or tracks. Yeah, I know it’s DRM, unless I choose to pay for it. But I can play and download songs to my iPhone. (There are also apps for Android and Blackberry.) And instead of forcing me to use a program on my PC, I can listen to and buy songs from within my web browser. Whew… I was beginning to think I was the last Rhapsody user. Not only can you listen to all the music available, but you can listen to it as many times as you want. Whats that? Didn’t get to listen to the entire Chickenfoot cd. No problem, reload and listen to it again, and again, and again; if you wish. I also love their radio stations - premade or ones you setup yourself. What’s not to like? ---

Rhapsody ripped me from the loving arms of Pandora. ---

> [@PunditLisa](#): > > I just checked. For some reason, it is listed under the Bee Gees (under the Mythology album). Just search “Shadow Dancing.” I know Andy sang with them on a few tours, however he never officially joined the band. But it’s definitely his voice of the song. You’re right, and I’ve got it on my iPod now. Thanks! ---

According to Wiki > [@](#): > > In conjunction with the 50th anniversary of The Bee Gees (when they started calling themselves ‘Bee Gees’ in 1959), Rhino Records is releasing two new collections. Mythology is a four-disc collection highlighting each brother, including Andy, with tracks personally selected by Barry, Robin, Maurice’s wife Yvonne (with his children Adam and Samantha), and Andy’s daughter Peta ---

> [@suranyi](#): > > I just checked, and searching “Andy Gibb” as the artist returns just “I Just Want to Be Your Everything”, from the “Charlie’s Angels” soundtrack. Nothing else. What I really want is “Shadow Dancing”, Weird. I have it from 20th Century Masters. This was back in 2005… ---

How much royalty money does itunes pay? In the early days of compact discs record companies, corrupt to the core, would pay artists less money in order to “promote the new medium” priced higher than vinyl or cassettes. Other artists like Robert Fripp who are high fideliity conscious, were horrified their music was released from inferior sounding sources and they were charged with production costs. Even Sinead O’Connor once took five minutes off from denouncing the Pope to denounce lower royalty rates.
