2nd studio album by German disco band Boney M following the debut Take the Heat Off Me (Jun. 1976). 'The band' consists of the four members Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett from Jamaica, Maizie Williams from Montserrat (in the Caribbean) and Bobby Farrell from Aruba (also in the Caribbean), however, most of these only represent what appeared as a band effort when in reality it's a music project by German producer and singer / songwriter Frank Farian (aka Franz Reuther), who used the moniker Boney M for a single release in '74, which only featured himself. He then decided to a have a dance group to front 'the band' for TV transmissions - he hired an initial group of dancers, which went through various incarnations for the following years until Feb. '76 when the four steady (dance and performance) members basically became Boney M. For the album, Farian used studio musicians and vocal performances from the two dancers Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett.
I do believe that I purchassed the sucessor Nightflight to Venus (Jul. 1978) at some point in '78 and subsequently got hold of this one, which came with a large poster - a wider version of the front photo, which I had on my wall for the following 4-5 years.
Not recommended.
