Nightflight To Venus- Boney M
Perhaps Boney Ms finest hour. Nobody could touch Boney M in 1978, not even the mighty ABBA. This album starts off with it's wonderful title track which runs seamlessly into the No2 hit 'Rasputin'. Other hits included are 'Rivers Of Babylon' and 'Brown Girl in The Ring' two sides of the same single which topped the charts, sold 2 million copies and stayed in the chart for 40 weeks. Every track is a winner. br /In some ways, the more interesting tracks are the non single tracks like 'Voodoonight' and 'He Was A Steppenwolf' as these tracks are less familiar as they haven't been played to death on the radio or at family dicsos. br /There are a few covers here including Ron Millers 'King of The Road' performed by Marcia Barrett, 'Painter Man' a real stomper performed by Liz Mitchell (a top 10 hit in 1979), 'Rivers Of Babylon' originally recorded by The Melodians and most suprisingly Niel Youngs 'Heart of Gold' which blends the voices of Liz Mitchell,Marcia Barrett and Frank Farian beautifully. br /'Mary's Boy Child' Boney Ms other 'almost' 2 million seller is included as a bonus track here as well as it's b-side 'Dancin In The Streets'. br /This track should not be confused with the Martha Reeves classic. It is in fact a Frank Farian written and performed original. No other members of Boney M sang on this track which even Farian himself described as a bit of nonsense. br /Frank Farian and Boney M created a little pop masterpiece with this album but they were never albe to reach the standards achieved here again.

Nightflight To Venus - Boney M
This is my favourite album of all time. br / br /This is the first time it has been released in the UK along with Take The Heat Off Me (1976), Love For Sale (1977) and Oceans Of Fantasy (1979). They were released on the 30th April. br / br /I managed to get all of their eight studio albums on CD in 1994 on German Import only, now they are here in the UK remastered for 2007 with extra tracks. br / br /This is the third album released by Boney M in 1978. It was released on 29th July 1978 and got number one in the UK album charts and spent a total of 65 weeks on the chart. It contains two songs that are in the UK Top Ten Best Selling Singles Chart of all time. They are Rivers Of Babylon/Brown Girl In The Ring (No.5) and Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord (No. 10), as well as the other singles Rasputin and Painter Man. Other outstanding tracks are Nightflight To Venus, Heart Of Gold and King Of The Road. Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord was released on 12" Vinyl in Germany only in 1978 and this version is included on this CD. The b-side was Dancing In The Streets and is also included on here to. br / br /Their other four studio albums Boonoonoonoos (1981), 10,000 Light Years (1984), Kalimba De Luna (1984) and Eye Dance (1985) will be released in August I have been informed. br / br /A CLASSIC ALBUM FROM THE 1970'S.
