"Rivers of Babylon", with lyrics partially based on Psalm 137, became the second highest selling single of all time in the UK in 1978. After Rivers of Babylon slipped back down the chart, the B-side "Brown Girl in the Ring" was given extensive airplay on radio and the single climbed back up the chart to #2. It eventually sold 500 copies short of 2 million.
There was actually a very good chance that some people bought the record twice, not realising that 'Brown Girl' was on the flip of 'Babylon'...they probably just went into the record shop asking for Boney M's 'new' record!
It's a Dickens of a job actually finding a compilation of their best work without some sort of cruddy remix being involved...can't some record companies leave well enough alone?

"The Magic of Boney M" is really the only one with non-remixes. They have like too many remix albums. It's almost ridiculous. lol
