4.0 out of 5 stars Another new boney m release, April 29, 2007

By	E. A. Verheijen "abeldoorn" (netherlands) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Nightflight to Venus (Hk) (Reis) (Audio CD)

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:
Nightflight To Venus 4:47
Rasputin 5:52
Painter Man 3:11
He Was A Steppenwolf 6:52
King Of The Road 2:37
Rivers Of Babylon 4:21
Voodoo Night 3:31
Brown Girl In The Ring 4:02
Never Change Lovers In The Middle Of The Night 5:33
Heart Of Gold 4:05
Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord (Bonus track) 5:49
Dancing In The Streets (Bonus track) 3:59

On vinyl this album has been released 4 times around with different running running times of zeveral songs. 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. And unfortunately, this short 4:45 minute version is the one used on this cd. Can you inmagine how I (colletor and fan) hoped that finally that long version became available. Hence my dissapointmend. 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.

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 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. Also am I missing the 12inch for rasputin (7:33). The cd now only plays for 54 minutes, so why not filled her up till 79min with these missing tracks. Would have made this re-release much mor worthwile.

It is a fantastic CD. Has all my favourite songs on it and I've been looking for a good Boney M CD for ages and finally found one. Highly recommend to anyone.
