Editorial Reviews

The brainchild of producer/songwriter Frank Farian--best known for later coming up with Milli Vanilli--Germany's '70s hit machine Boney M scored a string of disco singles with a strong Caribbean flavor. Granted, it takes an iron will to stomach upbeat numbers about the troubles in "Belfast" or such endearing figures as "Ma Baker" and "Rasputin," but at their best, Farian and the four West Indian session singers he recruited made a great dance-music outfit that was able to give an over-the-top Euro-disco spin to pop nuggets ("Sunny") and infectious originals ("Gotta Go Home"). If you want to send your next '70s-themed party into overdrive, give this 18-track hits collection a try. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Incredible Dance Music.......1999-01-07

Why this group never caught on in America is a mystery. This is some of the most energetic, and exciting dance music ever recorded. Try playing SUNNY, RASPUTIN, MA BAKER, PAINTER MAN, or BY THE RIVERS OF BABYLON at your party and see how quickly the dance floor will fill up. Believe me, if you're looking for music that is just plain fun to dance to, don't pass these guys up.

A Must Buy for Disc Jockeys.......1998-12-03

For those who enjoy dancing, this album is upbeat, fast and fun. You will definitely be dancing because the beat won't let you stand still. Rasputin is my personal favorite but the others songs are also good. Listen for yourself.

Customer Reviews:

crappy disco.......2003-10-06

to be honest, I used to like this disco band in the early 80's when I was in the primary school. But later I realized that the band has ripped of or fooled the most people around them with their play back singin-strategy.....the same case like Milly Vanilie did in 1996. I have changed my mind and gave the cd 2 stars.

THIS is THE Greatest Hits Compilation!.......2003-03-01

I recently discovered Boney M via another "Greatest Hits" collection. I was floored, fell in love with this archetype of Discoteque, and thought my collection was sitting pat.

And then I came across this particular compilation.

The extended version of "Rasputin" alone is worth the investment in this 2 CD set. Once you hear the full-frills cut of the tune starting with a thundering "wake-up" style instrumental, the quickie version will forever sound incomplete to your ears.

While I am not a huge fan of Remixes, I must admit that the modern takes on "Daddy Cool" and "Ma Baker" are done well enough that I won't dive for the "next track" button when they spin. The medley on Disc 2 is a little lackluster, but I must say that track is the only tune I found flat. They do an absolutely beautiful cover of The Seekers' classic "The Carnival Is Over," which I must say (with apologies to any Seekers fans out there) is more touching than the original.

If you never listened to Boney M before, this is a must buy CD. This IS dance music!!

Boney M in the same calaber as ABBA.......2003-01-06

Over the past 20 years, I have purchased all Boney M cd's. From Canada this is not easy. This is by far the best collection ever released, especially the remix bonuses. They have this most amazing sound, with Miss Liz Mitchell on lead vocals. The music is upbeat, puts a smile on my face and reminds me of when the world was a kinder and more gentle place. I put Boney M's music int he same catagory as ABBA. ALL THE WAY ON TOP.

Boney M music is just timeless.......2002-03-14

Wow what a great cover.
Again a new compilation of Boney M and a good track listing.
Boney M music is just timeless
The proof new compilation releases always again.
Also the track listing on this cd is the track listing that was chosen bye the LIZ MITCHELL FAN CLUB on an earlier release for the cd 25 jaar na Daddy Cool ore The Ultimate Collection.

I really enjoyed listening to this CD. Quite a variety of styles and easy listening. I would recommend to others wanting to check out variety.

Respectable CD, with one problem..........2007-02-13

While this is a perfectly respectable disco CD, I'm disappointed in my purchase. Buyers should beware that the song "Rasputin" (which was the reason I bought this CD) is cut short on this disc. How disappointing.

sunny disco music.......2007-02-04

Boney M was one of the best known bands of the 70's.
Famed for their disco hits, with a prominent Caribbean style.
This album takes you back to the best of their work, when they were being played all over the place, during the glorious 70's,
Personal favourites include Daddy Cool which is pure glorious 70's, the beautiful gospel sounds of Rivers Of Babylon-the way the words of the psalm are set to music is done so beautifully it gives me goosebumps,the hope-filled Sunny, the wonderful Boney M version of the Bob Marley classic No Women no Cry-I can actually hear the words much better when Boney M sing it then when Bob Marley sings it , the bouncy Brown Girl In The Ring, the infectious Rasputin, the jolly calypso Hooray Hooray It's A Holi-Holiday,the catchy Ma Baker, the soulful El Lute and a really fun mega mix at the end.
Let's recreate the 70's and start with something like this funky disco and Caribbean album.

Very good.......2007-01-22

We now have the CD with the song we really wanted which is "Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord". A local radio station has been playing this song for the past several years.

The Greatest Hits-Boney M.......2007-01-21

For the past couple of holiday seasons I would hear a Christmas song played on radio stations but could never find out the name of it or the artist. Finally, this past season I found out it was called "Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord by Boney M. I had never heard of the group but a search revealed that they were popular in the 70s mainly in Europe. After further searching I found their Greatest Hits CD on Amazon and ordered it thinking that Mary's Boy Child would be the only song I liked. In fact, I really like the entire CD. Really glad I found and ordered it...I listen to it often.
