It was released in September 1981. Despite producer Frank Farian having announced by the end of 1979 that Boney M. were to take a break, recording sessions for a new album began in the spring of 1980, and the title "Boonoonoonoos" (a Caribbean word for "Happiness") already appeared as one of the first completed tracks, a cover of Larry Dillon's ska-title "Train to Skaville" which was intertwined with new rap parts "That's Boonoonoonoos". Two of the new recordings, "I See A Boat On The River" and "My Friend Jack" were issued to promote The Magic of Boney M. - 20 Golden Hits in May 1980. Farian invited the singers Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett and his crew of musicians to Nice in the summer of 1980 where several new songs were recorded. A new double A-side single "Children Of Paradise"/"Gadda-Da-Vida" was released in September, announcing the as yet untitled new album to be released in November '80. The single reached number 11 in Germany, but in the UK their popularity was now quickly slipping. When released in February 1981, the single peaked at a disappointing #66. In the meantime, Farian had decided to revise the whole album. While new pressings of "Children Of Paradise" now promoted "The Magic Of Boney M." on the back cover, the band instead issued another single in December, a cover version of "Felicidad (Margherita)" backed with "Strange". "Felicidad", originally recorded by Italian band Massara as "Margherita (Love In The Sun)" in 1979, managed to get Boney M. into the German Top 10 again (#6, 27 weeks) and it became a sizeable hit in most of Europe as well. The single, however, wasn't released by Atlantic Records UK, nor was it released in Spain or Portugal where Massara's original version had been a huge hit two years earlier. In the Netherlands, the single was released with "Strange" as the A-side. At the same time, singer Marcia Barrett issued the solo single "You" / "I'm Lonely", produced by John Edmed, and written by Kelvin James. Released in Germany in December 1980, and in the UK two months later, the single failed to chart in either of the countries. Another song from the same sessions, "Breakaway", ended up on Boonoonoonoos as a Boney M. track with Frank Farian doing the lead vocal. New recording sessions took place in the spring of 1981. The band flew to Jamaica in May 1981 to record a TV special, perform live in concert with Rita Marley, shoot photos for the album cover, and one of the final songs "Silly Confusion" was recorded in Bob Marley's Tuff Gong studios in Kingston. Boonoonoonoos – originally intended to be released as a double-album – was subsequently trimmed to a one disc, thirteen track release. A limited edition double album was however issued in Germany, France and the UK, containing slightly longer versions of certain songs, but with the same number of tracks. OverviewThe first single to be lifted off the finished Boonoonoonoos album in Germany was double A-side "Malaika"/"Consuela Biaz" in May 1981 which became the first Boney M. single in five years not to reach the Top 10 (#13, 16 weeks). The single was not released in the UK. "We Kill The World (Don't Kill The World)" was the second single, released in September, and marked the first single since "Belfast" featuring Marcia Barrett as the lead singer. It peaked at #12 in the German charts and was their first UK Top 40 entry in two years (#39) after some disappointing placings of their previous two singles ("Children Of Paradise" #66 and "My Friend Jack" #57), but the single went to #1 in both Spain and South Africa. The Boonoonoonoos album came with a picture innersleeve and a large fold-out poster with the lyrics on the back. When the LP was released in Germany in September, the album was immediately withdrawn after pressure from singer Liz Mitchell who was unhappy with a photo on the innersleeve, picturing the band in soaked clothes in the Ocho Rios waterfall. The innersleeve was redesigned with a photo of the band in a canoo, and the LP finally released on November 1, 1981. Boonoonoonoos hit the #1 spot in Spain (where the group had just done a big promotion tour) but failed to crack the UK Top 75 (after three consecutive #1 LPs). The album peaked at #16 in Germany, and while still a healthy seller, it was becoming obvious that the band, like so many of their contemporaries, was being affected by the so-called "anti-disco backlash". "Boonoonoonoos" marked Bobby Farrell's debut on record. Having previously only mimed to Frank Farian's vocals on TV (but having sung live in the group's concerts), Farrell was featured on the track "Train To Skaville" as a rapper. He also did the spoken intro on "We Kill The World". Boney M. member Maizie Williams had also done a small part on "Train To Skaville" (featured in the group's TV special), and so the track would be the first recording to actually feature all four group members, but her part was eventually re-recorded by Liz Mitchell for the released version of the song. "Boonoonoonoos" also marked the first time Farian used additional singers on a Boney M. record. Vocal group La Mama (Cathy Bartney, Patricia Shockley, and Madeleine Davis) had originally been hired as backing singers for Precious Wilson's first album but since Farian also used them to do demos, their vocals were in some cases kept in the final mix. Brian Paul was a young boy featured on the second single "We Kill The World (Don't Kill The World)". Even though the record sleeve credits "other children", Brian Paul and his friend Brian Sletten eventually sang all of the children's vocals themselves. They also appeared with the group in a number of TV shows when they promoted the song. Soon after the release of Boonoonoonoos band member Bobby Farrell was fired from the group by producer Frank Farian, leaving the group unavailable to promote the album. Christmas Album - originally planned as a Liz Mitchell solo album – was rushed out three weeks after "Boonoonoonoos". Atlantic (UK) planned to release a new version of "Jimmy" as a single in April 1982 but those plans were eventually shelved. Track listingSide A:
