Boney M. ist in aller Munde! Nach dem erfolgreichen Start des Musicals "Daddy Cool" in London, wird die Show bald auch bei uns in Deutschland zu sehen sein. Im Herbst des letzten Jahres schossen die Best Of CD und DVD "The Magic Of Boney M." in die Charts und spätestens seit dem ist ganz Deutschland im Disco-Fieber...

Um das Paket rund zu machen, folgt nun Teil 1 der ultimativen REMASTERED EDITIONS: Chronologisch aufgeteilt werden die vier ersten Original-Alben der Band als komplett überarbeitete Editionen wieder erhältlich gemacht. Neben einem neuen, frischen Artwork finden sich außerdem 2 Bonus-Tracks auf diesem 1976er Album "TAKE THE HEAT OFF ME": die B-Seite "New York" und "Perfect", ein erfolgreiches Solostück von Liz Mitchell. Das Warten der Fans hat endlich ein Ende!



Take the Heat Off Me marked the album debut of one of the world's most successful disco groups, Boney M. Although they never found much success in the United States, they were a phenomenon overseas during the late '70s and this album makes it easy to understand why. They were the right group at the right time -- their unique combination of rocksteady disco rhythms and infectious bubblegum pop hooks created a sound that anyone in any country could easily grasp and find appealing. Some may find the Boney M. sound to be too sweet, but the group's soulful vocals subtly add a little grit into the mix to keep the music from drifting off into the ether. The big hits from this album were "Sunny," a pulsating, string-drenched update of Bobby Hebb's pop-soul classic, and "Daddy Cool," a relentless groove that combines staccato violin stabs, mariachi horns, and an aggressive drum attack to create an irresistibly catchy dance-pop ditty. The other tracks offer a similar mix of poppy originals and odd covers: "Got a Man on My Mind" combines reggae rhythms and choral vocals to great effect and Boney M.'s cover of Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry" may seem preposterous in concept but works thanks to its effective combination of soulful vocals and slick instrumentation. "Baby Do You Wanna Bump," the only song that strays from the pop song format, drags noticeably, but the high quality of the surrounding tunes makes up for this flaw. Take the Heat Off Me won't win any new fans to the disco cause, but it remains an effective and likable slice of Euro-disco at its most effervescent.

Take The Heat Off Me

Take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Yes I'm burning
If you really lie and cheat
I don't want to meet your kind of terms no more

So take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Yes I'm burning
Don't believe you're trying to make it
And I just can't keep on taking it no more

Don't mean to say you double-crossed me
But somehow I think that you've lost me
Maybe you weren't even trying to see
Where I was or where I should be
And if you're just faking
We'd better start breaking away tonight
So take this fire from my heart tonight

So take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Yes I'm burning
Don't believe you're trying to make it
And I just can't keep on taking it no more

Take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Yes I'm burning
If you really lie and cheat
I don't want to meet your kind of terms no more

Don't mean to say you double-crossed me
But somehow I think that you've lost me
Maybe you weren't even trying to see
Where I was or where I should be
And if you're just faking
We'd better start breaking away tonight
So take this fire from my heart tonight

So Take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Take the heat off me
Yes I'm burning
If you really lie and cheat
I don't want to meet your kind of terms no more

So Take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Take the heat off me
Yes I'm burning
If you really lie and cheat
I don't want to meet your kind of terms no more

So Take the heat off me

Sunny

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain.
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.
The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here,
My Sunny one shines so sincere.
Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet.
Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way.
You gave to me your all and all.
Now I feel ten feet tall.
Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny, thank you for the truth you let me see.
Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to C.
My life was torn like a windblown sand,
And the rock was formed when you held my hand.
Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny

Sunny, thank you for the smile upon your face.
Sunny, thank you for the gleam that shows its grace.
You're my spark of nature's fire,
You're my sweet complete desire.
Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain.
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.
The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here,
My Sunny one shines so sincere.
Sunny one so true, I love you.

I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.

No Woman No Cry

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Cause I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in trenchtown
Observing the hypocrites
Mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, now
Good friends we have lost
Along the way
In this great future,
You can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Oh little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown
When Georgie would make the fire lights
I say, log would burnin' through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on thru,
And while I'm gone
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright now
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright now
Everything 's gonna be alright
No woman no cry

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Oh little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Oh little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman no cry

Said I re, said I re, Said I remember
No woman no cry

You and I and you and I and you and I
No woman no cry

Cause I remember when we used to sit there
No woman no cry
In a government yard

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry, yeah
No woman no cry

No woman no cry (you sweet darling)
No woman no cry

No woman no cry, yeah
No woman no cry
No woman no cry, yeah
No woman no cry

No woman no cry


Fever

Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever, that's so hard to bear

You give me fever, when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever, in the morning
And fever all through the night

Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And I know I'm gonna treat you right

You give me fever, when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever, in the morning
Fever all through the night

Everybody's got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago

Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet, she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said "Julie Baby, You're my flame"
Thou givest fever,

When he kisseth
Fever with thy flaming youth
Fever, I'm afire
Fever, yeah I burn forsooth

Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
When her Daddy tried to kill him
She said, "Daddy, Oh, Don't you dare!"

He gives me fever
With his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever, I'm his Misses
Oh Daddy, won't you treat him right?

Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Love was meant to give you fever
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade

It gives you Fever, when you're kissing,
Fever, if you live, you learn
Fever, 'till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely (or crazy) way to burn


Got A Man On My Mind

Walk around in circles
Without peace and little sleep
Can't cool down and unwind
What I'm feeling is a feeling
That's just you down deep
Got a man on my mind

Haven't seen him for so long
He's always on the go
Not the sticking round kind
I don't care whatever happens
One thing I do know
Got a man on my mind

Sometimes I stand there
Just starrin' into space
And I talk about how I feel (yeah yeah)
Being there
Yet I clearly see his face
And I hold him and he's quite real

Never thought that I could care
For anyone that much
Oh how wrong can you be
I'm so hungry for his kisses
For his tender touch
He's the whole world for me

Oooh
Walk around in circles
Without peace and without sleep
Can't cool down and unwind
What I'm feeling is a feeling
That's just you down deep
Got a man on my mind

Sometimes I stand there
Just starrin' into space
And I talk about how I feel (Oh yeah)
Being there
Yet I clearly see his face
And I hold him and he's quite real

Walk around in circles
Without peace and without sleep
Got a man on my mind

I'm hungry for kisses
I'm thirsty for love
Got a man on my mind
(Repeat ad libs and fade)


Lovin' Or Leavin'

It's nice to spend the time with you
I know you've got a lot to go for
I like the things you say and do
And yet what do I have to show for
Nice to pass away
Then another break of day

Lovin',
Lovin', lovin' or leavin'
I'm for lovin', lovin' or leavin'
Lovin', lovin' or leavin'
I said lovin', lovin' or leavin' yeah...

We play the old familiar game
Cause life is short, let's keep on movin'
It's fun alright, but just the same
There's more to it then all that showed
All the things come to
I know it will, and so do you

Lovin',
Lovin', lovin' or leavin'
I said lovin', lovin' or leavin'
Lovin', lovin' or leavin'
I said lovin', lovin' or leavin' yeah...

So that's the way I really feel
I want you badly, oh...we know

Lovin', (ah)
Lovin', lovin' or leavin' (yeah)
Lovin', lovin' or leavin' (yeah...I'll tell you)
Lovin', lovin' or leavin' (hear me)
