The Magic of Boney M.

The Magic of Boney M. is a greatest hits album of recordings by Boney M. released by Sony BMG in October 2006.

The compilation which is an updated version of 1992's Gold – 20 Super Hits and 2001's The Greatest Hits includes eighteen of Boney M's best known hits from the 1970s and 1980s, a new remix of 1976 single "Sunny" by German DJ and record producer Mousse T. as well as one new track featuring vocals from original Boney M. lead vocalist Liz Mitchell.

While this compilation is digitally remastered it contains both original recordings and overdubbed or remixed versions dating from Gold - 20 Super Hits.

The compilation was reissued on 18 March 2022 with new artwork as a special "remix edition". This release replaces "A Moment of Love" with the 2021 remixes of "Rasputin" and "Daddy Cool", along with a previously-unreleased Spanish version of "Rivers of Babylon" entitled "Rios de Babylonia".
