2007 reissue of Boney M.'s holiday album featuring bonus tracks. Long sought after by Christmas music fans, the quartet's disco-fied version of 'Mary's Boy Child' is one of the most requested Christmas tunes in the world (and this release features two versions)! This Euro-Disco quartet were put together by producer/songwriter Frank Farian and their albums and singles were aimed directly at the dancefloors across the world. Boney M.'s sound featured male/female harmony vocals, a stomping Disco beat, swooping strings, funky guitar and hook-filled melodies that are still fondly remembered by millions of fans worldwide. 19 tracks.

another Amazon cracked case..
Other than that, it's expected by now that a case will be cracked, this is another great Boney M musical outing. Wonderful and enjoyable as is everything they have done!

A nice "Off the Beaten Path" Christmas CD!
If you are looking for Christmas music that deserves to take the place of the tired stuff played over and over on the radio, this CD is just for you! I get really tired of not hearing a nice variety of music on my favorite "Christmas Station" each year. Back when my favorite station actually DID play a nice variety, I heard Boney M's rendition of "Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord" for the first time during the 2003 Christmas season. I have always loved the rhythms and harmonies of music with a Caribbean flair. When I heard Boney M's version with the new lyrics blended into the old song, it became my favorite "non-traditional" Christmas song. I finally broke down this year and ordered the CD to put on my new iPod (yes, I'm just now jumping on the iPod wagon) Even though Christmas is behind me, I'm still listening to the CD. Good music is good music any time!! I love ALL the tracks on the CD and feel there isn't a "stinker" in the mix. The bonus "newer" version of "Mary's Boy Child" on track #19 is done predominately with young children singing and I even like that version as well. If you are looking for something that feels fresh and new, try this CD. If you even half way claim to enjoy music with a Caribbean or Jamaican flair, you won't be disappointed in this CD!!

Christmas With Boney M
I have gotten this item in December 2007 and I loved it. So I decided to order 2 more in December 2008, BUT they weren't the same as the one in 2007. So I tried again this year and I put the UPC code in and it came up that they had at least 3 in stock, so I ordered them and when I received them THEY were the right ones this time. You will love this CD I PROMISE YOU. I listen to it everyday and when I went in the hospital I took my boom box with me and this CD and another CD called "What a wonderful Christmas" by Anne Murray. I listened to both of these CD's at least 4 or 5 times a day and the nurses and my roommate loved them. The UPC Code for the "Christmas with Boney M" is 886971403220 and the UPC Code for the "What a wonderful Christmas" by Anne Murray is 724382033523. I have most of the songs from "Christmas with Boney M" in my favorites from YouTube.com.Here is the list down below if you type in exactly what I have typed in the list it should take you to that song.Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord - Boney M by Driftwood145When a child is born!Boney M by heartofmygodWhite Christmas Boney M by anyu1941Feliz Navidad by virtualquanBoney M Jingle Bells by arjumaayhZion's Daughter - Boney M(1981) by LuckyStarATBoney M - Hark the Herald Angel Sing by anyu1941Boney M - Little Drummer Boy by HerzAss1000The First Noel/Boney M by WhiteSilencePlBoney M.

One favorite song
Wasn't familiar with the group when I heard an absolutely beautiful Chrismas carol over the radio. I ordered the album because of that alone... and was not disappointed. The group peaked in the 90's and is from West Indies. All the music, including my song, "Mary's Boychild," has a kind of disco-reggae beat and tempo. A number of secular holiday songs were less inspired, but there are a number enjoyable tunes. Of course, I'm happy just because of the wonderful recording the one carol. Interestingly, this song opens the album and plays again at the end.

Unusual and Beautiful Treatment of Christmas Favorites
Christmas With Boney M is a wonderful rendition of various Christmas favorites in a haunting but beautiful West Indies/ reggae/calypso style. My all time favorite Christmas song and the one that would make this CD well worth the money even if it were the only song on the CD, is "Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord. If you have not heard it, I wish I could share it with everyone who reads this -- it truly is a beautiful and haunting melody that paints the majestic story of the true meaning of the Christmas story. A unique and inspirational Christmas album that belongs in the collection of every lover of spiritual and secular Christmas music!

Best Christmas music ever!!!
This is the best Christmas CD, in my opinion. I bought this to replace my broken CD cuz I can't do Christmas without it. I can't listen to it without singing along and dancing. The Jamaican(?) / Calypso beat and their voices just make me smile!
