3 CD set that encapsulates the European chart toppers hits thru the decades.

CD1 features their 70's hits including 'Ma Baker', 'Rivers of Babylon' and more. CD2 has their 80s hits like 'Boonoonoonoos', 'We Kill the World' and others. CD3 features a selection of great 12 remixes.
The Best of 10 Years – 32 Superhits also known as 32 Superhits - Non-Stop Digital Remix is a remix album by Boney M. released in 1986. In 1981 producer Frank Farian created a thirteen-minute medley in the style of Stars on 45 called "6 Years of Boney M. Hits (Boney M. on 45)" which was issued as both A- and B-side singles in certain territories - in the UK the medley was the B-side of Boonoonoonoos 12" single "We Kill The World (Don't Kill The World)", in Germany the edited 7" version appeared as the B-side of Christmas Album single "Little Drummer Boy" and the longer version as a separate A-side 12" release in early 1982. Five years later, Farian took the non-stop medley idea one step further and extended the medley to a thirty-two track, forty-six minutes full-length album of Boney M's greatest hits with additional percussive and synthesized overdubs.
Crimson Gold presents Boney M. 'Gold', the only compilation you'll ever need. Boney M. Was one of the most successful pop groups of the 1970s, selling over 100 million Records worldwide and charting 3 consecutive no. 1 albums. With their catchy tunes and flamboyant performances, their worldwide hits are a constant feature at weddings and parties. This 3CD collection is a definitive career spanning set from 1976 through to updated mixes in 2010. Boney M. 'Gold' Contains 49 tracks, with a remarkable 15 top 40 UK singles - ten top 10 hits - including their double-million-selling no. 1 hits 'Rivers of Babylon'/'Brown girl in the ring' And 'Mary's Boy child'/'oh my Lord', 'Daddy cool', 'sunny', 'Ma Baker', 'rasputin', 'hooray!

Christmas with Boney M is a 2007 re-release of a highly sought-after Christmas record by '70s Euro-disco legends Boney M which featured disco adaptations of traditional Christmas songs like "When a Child Is Born," "White Christmas," "Jingle Bells," "Little Drummer Boy," and many others. The reissued version adds a number of unreleased tracks.
Of course Boney M were masters of dance in the late 1970's and early 1980's, but they did have some hits with ballads too. This collection includes the hits El Lute, Neil Young's Heart of Gold, Little Drummer Boy, Mary's Boy Child, I See A Boat On The River and of course their massive hit Rivers of Babylon (Originally done by The Melodians). But it's not really representative of their best music which included red-hot rabble rousing dancefloor sizzlers like Brown Girl In The Ring, Daddy Cool, Belfast and Ma Baker. Still, this collection is pleasant enough as an enjoyable memento of 70's/80's Europop in the Abba vein.
Elizabeth Mitchell is a Jamaican-born British vocalist, best known as the former lead singer of the 1970s disco/reggae band Boney M. In 1996, Mitchell and her husband Thomas Pemberton built the Dove House Studios and formed Dove House Records. In November 1999, Mitchell released her album Share the World, which had taken three years to complete. She is still touring, billed as Boney M. featuring Liz Mitchell.
Far Corporation were a British band created by record producer Frank Farian, who created the bands Boney M. and Milli Vanilli. The name was shortened from "Frank Farian Corporation", which was originally put together to record a cover of the Paul Simon piece "Mother and Child Reunion" as a charity record and reached the top 10 in several European countries. That group's lineup included members of Barclay James Harvest, Toto, Boney M and Force Majeure. Far Corporation's primary claim to fame is their cover of "Stairway to Heaven". Contrary to public perception, Far Corporation was actually the first group to make the singles charts with this song as Led Zeppelin had never released it as a single.
