Track Details
The second version of Boonoonoonoos track "Jimmy" included on Ten Thousand Lightyears had originally been recorded in early 1982 as Atlantic Records UK planned to release it as the follow-up to single "We Kill The World (Don't Kill The World)". The record company recognised the commercial potential of the track but felt that it would benefit from an up-tempo arrangement. When the re-recorded version was delivered to them they had however lost interest in the band and 1982's "The Carnival Is Over" became the final Boney M. single to be issued by the Atlantic Records label. The updated version of "Jimmy" was then offered to Precious Wilson for her second solo album, she too turned it down and it instead ended up as the penultimate track on album Ten Thousand Lightyears.
The cover version of Tommy Roe's 1969 hit "Dizzy" was originally planned to be released as a duet single with Frank Farian and singer Sandy Davis which never happened. An unreleased extended 12" club mix also exists.
A remixed version of the rare 1983 recording "Babysitter" was released as a B-side to the 1992 "Megamix" CD-single, an alternate, previously unreleased mix was released on the 2007 CD re-issue of Ten Thousand Lightyears.

Famous quotes containing the words track and/or details:
“Water. Its sunny track in the plain; its splashing in the garden canal, the sound it makes when in its course it meets the mane of the grass; the diluted reflection of the sky together with the fleeting sight of the reeds; the Negresses fill their dripping gourds and their red clay containers; the song of the washerwomen; the gorged fields the tall crops ripening.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
“Anyone can see that to write Uncle Tom’s Cabin on the knee in the kitchen, with constant calls to cooking and other details of housework to punctuate the paragraphs, was a more difficult achievement than to write it at leisure in a quiet room.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
