BONEY M "take the heat off me" vinyl, 1976
german disco vocal group...
debut album of eight of which i own all eight in a vinyl box set titled "boney m complete"...
five covers on here, disco versions of "fever", "no woman no cry" and "sunny" plus two re-workings of other old songs, the title track and "baby do you wanna bump", so only three originals on here which in the disco era means nothing as it was all about the beats and vibes so people could boogie-on-down...
album peaked at #2 in their homeland, top 10 throughout most of western europe, top 40 in the UK, top 30 in AU and NZ..
two big hits off this one in their cover of "sunny" and "daddy cool"..
