With Boney M.'s big selling Christmas album from 1981, producer Frank Farian recorded six new Christmas songs with Liz Mitchell and Reggie Tsiboe (who'd replaced dancer Bobby Farrell in 1982) in the summer of 1984; they were, however, only released at the time on a South African LP, but when Boney M. had split up in 1986, Farian wanted to keep the kettle boiling and dug out these disappointingly mediocre recordings, remixed the whole 1981 album but two songs, and released the whole mess in November 1986. And the result is awful! In 1992, this album was re-issued, and apart from "Mary's Boy Child" being treated with an unoriginal remix, "Silent Night" is also featured with a previously unreleased verse; this is also the only reason that this CD would be worth getting (if you're a fan like I am). I can strongly recommand you to get the original "Christmas Album" instead (it is available on CD) when you want to get in a Christmas mood, this CD sounds as supermarket muzak.
Big in Europe back in late 70's and beginning of 80's.
This is one of their most unique Christmas albums that is no longer made, since it come out in 1992.They still do perform but not the same members are present. You can find the most recent Christmas albums that are still for sale at Amazon, but this album is rarity and if i could say hard to find. The seller was selling as a New and yes it was still wrapped in a original plastic foil from the manufacturer. Thank you.
I was truly pleased with the sound quality and the content of this disc. It was relaxing and fun.
