I bought this CD in the hopes that I could get the song from the movie "Boogie Nights." Sure, "Sunny" is on the CD, but it's not the ORIGINAL version, because all the songs are remixed. Some are clearly labled "Club Mix," but all the rest are mixes, too. This means that I can play this CD in this day and age without the "disco riddicule," but still...if I had known that this CD didn't have any "original" cuts on it I might have gotten another Boney M. I'll still likely buy another CD by them, but I can't complain that much about this one. It's good for parties and clubs, and stuff, even in 2001.

Boney M were one of the most succesful bands in Europe during the 1977-1980 period. Infact, their popularity at the time rivaled that of ABBA, even though in the long run the Super Trouper Swedes have proved to be no match for this manufactured pop band. Only 1 of the singers pictured on the sleeve actually sang on the records. All the male vocals are done by Frank Farian, the man behind another lipsinging band, Milli Vanilli.

Nevertheless, Boney M made some great pop/disco songs and their rendition of the Jamaican nursury rhyme "Brown Girl in the ring" is fantastic. The songs range form the spiritual, "Rivers of Babylon" (one of the biggest selling singles of all time in Europe), to the silly "Daddy Cool". In between there are remakes of classics, like Belafonte's "Mary's Boy child" (a pan- European number 1 in 1978) and Cher's "Sunny".

Be warned, these are not the original versions of the mega hits, this is strictly an album of remixes. The vocals are unchanged, but the music is updated to the electronic sound that is popular today in Europe. The new mixes are not that bad, but they sound too mechanical and generic. Look for Boney M Gold and its companion More Gold if you are interested in the original (and far superior) versions.

A very good retrospective of the band's work and with "Mary's Boy Child As Well!" The remixes are an added bonus with all the tracks remastered and given a very modern sound and feel. Not for traditionalists who want something closer to the original but very accessible for the newer generation of Boney M fans. Good cd sound quality and track selections. Highly recommended!

Boney M is among the very old music groups which took on the world in the early 70's. They captured the hearts of the people then and they remained captured in peoples hearts even today. I think this album has Boney M's all time hit songs which will make people refresh their memories of their good old times with them. There is no way out or no option left for you my dear friend. You gotta have it.

I love Boney M since I was kid and up until now their songs are still wonderful to listen to ! This album presents some of their best collection hits plus some remix versions worth buying for. Album like this is hard to be found even in a big music store. If you are looking for the collection hits of Boney M in one cd set and include the remix versions as well, this CD is absolutely the one !
