The Complete Singles Collection

Actually, we should gradually say that it is enough to permanently bring out any best-of-sampler with Boney M., the old fans have everything and who should then buy something else? In this case, however, it is so that first appear all singles (many double-A-side .45) in chronological order and has thus created a complete time career overview. And therefore the OB 50 buyers zulangt again, you have selected a few singles in alternative versions, most notably and most interesting mix of Ma Baker, of which I previously thought that this was the version that time Sondock in its Wednesdays-WDR broadcast in his day presented and I had to tape a long time (a review is here, but it was probably a different version) and then never showed up somewhere. On the LP "Love For Sale" the song was cut differently and the long end of the first version there was a lot shorter. The other alternative version ("Rivers Of Babylon", "Brown Girl In The Ring", "Consuela Biaz" and "The Carnival Is Over") I find not so serious different, but interesting nonetheless for the collector. The first CD contains the actual diamonds, namely the really big hits of the group of Daddy Cool by El Lute and I See A Boat On The River. Here I's criticisms that you have the B-side of "Mary's Boy Child" with added ("Dancing In The Streets"), because this song was already hardly a hit and is still quite uninteresting. As one would rather "Ribbons of Blue" or "New York City" to grab, because the two songs were very also known as B-sides. On the second CD, the less successful singles are then up to the flop contains all. "Children Of Paradise" and "Felicidad" were very successful, but then started with "We Kill The World" and "Malaika" the gradual descent and after the album "Boonoonoonoos" (the single version of the title song I miss here, too) then left also the dancers and the actual "face" of the group Boney M. and was replaced by Reggie Tsiboe who sing and play guitar could indeed, but unfortunately came across on television very boring and songs like "Jambo Hakuna Matata" and "Going Back West "were still average hits, but in fact the air was already out. With "Kalimba de Luna" there was again a great success, but the song sounds very little by Boney M., because it was sung by Reggie Tsiboe and Liz Mitchell can be heard at best, in the Background. The last album "Eye Dance" also contained then no longer hit, although I myself "Young, Free And Single" was still quite good. CD 3 starts with two new songs, with me it does not like and also the wirkklich Featuring Liz Mitchell sounds kind of not really good, especially since her voice probably no longer is that it used (is indeed normal and thus no criticism of it). The remix versions are certainly not for everyone, for me they are back as uninteresting as the remixes already in the late 1980s and 1990s. The originals remain just that, you have as Urfan in the ear and it ABBA make a little better, they can only make any official remixes, would there anyway does not make sense. Unfortunately very poor is also once again the booklet over Frank Farian and Liz Mitchell come in a "speech" to speak (Liz priced especially her book to) and also an old fan may contact, information about the songs (eg. B. chart positions) and cover the singles are once again (as I do not find in the 2007-Rereleases the albums), only in the middle there is a double-page spread with a selection of covers. Since a detailed chronology would have been just installed in such a jubilee edition yet, which would particularly Neufans given some info. But since I have paid only 12.90 for 3 CDs, I want to be satisfied with what is on offer. And for people who do not have anything of Boney M. This sampler is now the first choice!
