Editing Boney M. (section)

== Back catalogue ==
Compared to other best-selling artists of the 1970s, like [[ABBA]], [[Donna Summer]], and the [[Bee Gees]], the Boney M. discography is quite unusual, in that while the greater part of the band's back catalogue has been remixed, remade, remodeled and reissued all through the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s by producer Frank Farian and record company [[BMG-Ariola]] (now [[Sony Music]]), most of the original 7" and 12" versions issued on vinyl in the 1970s and early 1980s remained unavailable on CD until 2007, when they were released on various compilations, most notably ''The Collection'' (2008), the ''Ultimate Boney M.'' series (2008), ''Let It All Be Music: The Party Album'' (2009), ''Hit Story'' (2010) and ''Diamonds'' (2015). Some of these CDs were compiled by Frank Eberlein, who had also been interviewed on a fansite called "Fantastic Boney M." about the compiling process.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.fantasticboneym.com/home/news/|title=News|website=Fantasticboneym.com|access-date=16 August 2021|archive-date=14 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210514184925/https://www.fantasticboneym.com/home/news/|url-status=live}}</ref>
