The Greatest Hits (Boney M. 1993)
The Greatest Hits is a 1993 greatest hits album by Boney M., the UK version of BMG's Gold - 20 Super Hits with alternate album art and a slightly diffefrent tracklisting, omitting songs like "Felicidad (Margherita)", "Kalimba de Luna" and "Happy Song" which never had been released as singles in the UK. Besides Boney M.'s best known hits like "Daddy Cool", "Ma Baker" and "Rivers Of Babylon" this fourteen track compilation also includes the 1993 remix of "Brown Girl In The Ring" (UK #38, 1 week) that was issued in both the UK and the rest of Europe as the follow-up single to the 1992 "Megamix". While still in overdubbed form, three tracks on this compilation, "Rasputin", "Ma Baker" and "No Woman No Cry" are also featured in their full length as opposed to the German BMG predecessor Gold - 20 Super Hits.
The Greatest Hits album itself was released by the now defunct Telstar Records while the singles "Megamix" and "Brown Girl In The Ring (Remix '93)" were issued by Arista Records, which at this time was operating as a sublabel to BMG.
The Greatest Hits reached number 14 on the UK albums chart in early 1993, which made it their highest charting album since 1980's The Magic Of Boney M. - 20 Golden Hits.

Famous quotes containing the words greatest and/or hits:
“Whoever considers morality the main objective of human existence, seems to me like a person who defines the purpose of a clock as not going wrong. The first objective for a clock, is, however, that it does run; not going wrong is an additional regulative function. If not a watch’s greatest accomplishment were not going wrong, unwound watches might be the best.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Life begins to happen.
My hoppped up husband drops his home disputes,
and hits the streets to cruise for prostitutes,”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
