For the first time this is not the case here! Frank Farian has finally made the decision to publish a complete Best of CD, with all the singles in their proper order (according to release date), without any sound effects and ... unabridged! Not only that, but in this collection there are even versions of singles that can be found on any CD, such as Ma Baker and Consuela Biaz.
Cover & Booklet: Unfortunately, I must give the indication that it is a package made of cardboard. I find this packaging bad, because they break easily over time. And the booklet I expected something more. There are numerous and beautiful photos of the group! A pair of pictures and no information with regard to the charts, I think in my opinion for a 40th Anniversary Edition somewhat "poor" and "unloving". So I can not assign 5 star here.
CDs: A successful remastering! As previously mentioned, no sound effects, no abridged versions and ... no loudness war!
The third CD I've read that the opinions differ greatly. It's a matter of taste! Others are the new songs or the new versions found very good, others not. Main point is that in the first two CDs all true.
Conclusion: In spite of cardboard, finally a successful Best of Compilation of Boney M.! Original versions, all singles, a good remastering ... Super!
