"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. As a fan and collector I was hoping that this release would bring some rareties that were still not released on cd before. Partly that's what we get.

The tracklisting remains partially the same with the old vinyl release and the later cd release:



Daddy Cool

Take the Heat off Me

Sunny

Baby Do You Wanna Bump

No Woman, No Cry

Fever

Got a Man on My Mind

Lovin' or Leavin'



And there are two bonus tracks:

New York City (This was the B-side from the Sunny 7inch and has so far only been released on a belgium released best of cd)

Perfect: Liz Mitchell (the solo single also not very common available).



BUT, as the cd now plays for some 45 minutes. It would have been nice if the very rare track 'help help' was included (this one was only available on the very first vinyl pressing of the album and was then withdrawn for copyright reasons). But 30 years later, could that not have been solved?

And for me, pure for collectors reasons, the A and B side from baby do you wanna bump could have been included, or maybe the belgium released 7inch for no woman no cry which did not fade at the end. Or, the first solo single from marcia barret if we are including other solo singles as well... Then I would have been a happy collector."
