was always considered a disco act, and this album was released at the height of the disco fever, "Nightflight To Venus" - containing no less than 4 UK Top 10-hits - is actually so much more than just another disco record this album took Boney M. This 10+ million selling album was one of the best-sellers from 1978, rivalled only by "Saturday Night Fever". Would have made this re-release much mor worthwile. The cd now only plays for 54 minutes, so why not filled her up till 79min with these missing tracks. Also am I missing the 12inch for rasputin (7:33). Also missing the 12inch for dancing in the streets (6:18, never released on cd), and why not included the 12inch for mary's boy child (6:18) which is unavailable on cd instead of this more common 5:49 version. Other omissions for me, the 12" version of rivers of babylon (yes, there is a officially released vinyl promo-only 12inch that runs 7:22, released in 1978 so no later done re-mix). Also the second track, rasputin is the 5:52 minute version and not the first vinyl (6:39) or second vinyl (6:03) version, but again the fourth vinyl short version. Can you inmagine how I (colletor and fan) hoped that finally that long version became available. And unfortunately, this short 4:45 minute version is the one used on this cd. For example, the first vinyl release contained a 7 minute version of nightflight to venus and a 6:39 minute version of rasputin, while on the second vinyl release the nightflight track ran 5:55 and on the third it lasted only 4:58 and the 4th and shortest only 4:45. On vinyl this album has been released 4 times around with different running running times of zeveral songs. Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord (Bonus track) 5:49ĭancing In The Streets (Bonus track) 3:59 Never Change Lovers In The Middle Of The Night 5:33

As a fan and collector I was hoping that this release would bring some rareties that were still not released on cd before. Although the songs from Boney M have been released many and many times over on compilation cd's, this is actually the second time that this album is going to be released on cd.
