 * Comment: some background for editors unfamiliar with Boney M. – I'm not sure how well known this group was in North America apart from "Rivers of Babylon", but they were enormously popular throughout Europe between 1976 and 1982. Group creator and songwriter Frank Farian is probably better known for his later manufactured act, Milli Vanilli... however, Boney M. (at least some of the group members) did actually sing on their records. However, Farian was notorious for constantly re-editing and remixing Boney M.'s songs, so that there are numerous versions of each one – this has resulted in literally dozens of compilation albums like this one, all of which have essentially the same track listings, but slightly different versions of each song. They are of interest only to completists and few of them, including this album, have any individual notability. These albums continue to be reverted by a succession of IPs when they are redirected, and so the only options are to delete, or redirect but protect the articles from being reverted yet again.

 * Delete per WP:NALBUM. No evidence has been provided that this album appeared on a national music chart, was certified gold, or received multiple reviews or news articles in reliable sources. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:00, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
