It looks like it’s all over. The reissue series is dead, and Robin has made no move to release the album he recorded in 2008. They will probably sort the same hits into new packages each Christmas as long as there is a market for CDs, and that will be all.
None.
None.

Mythology as listed above was announced in July 2009 for release in November 2009 on the same date as Ultimate Bee Gees. In August the release date was pushed back to March 2010, and in February 2010 it disappeared from Rhino’s release schedule.
Mythology would have been neither an expanded edition of Ultimate nor a supplement to it. Many of the songs on Ultimate appear again here on the Barry and Robin disks, but not all. It’s as if the two sets had been compiled by people with no knowledge of the other project.
Only four songs would have been of interest to fans:
‘Hold Her in Your Hand’ — first release on CD
‘Angel of Mercy’ — previously unreleased
‘The Bridge’ — previously unreleased
‘Arrow Through the Heart’ — previously
unreleased
