BONEY M "love for sale" vinyl 1977
posted the debut album a couple of pages back...
this is their second of eight studio albums, i own all eight
Boney M are a guilty pleasure for me LOL
two album covers shown, the bondage/slave cover is the one most countries got,
the chic disco cover is the one chosen for US and Canada, i prefer this one
so,
ten tracks on here, three of which are covers:
Cole Porter's "love for sale"
CCR's "have you ever seen the rain" and
Yardbirds' "still im sad"
i doslike the CCR cover but like the other two
"ma baker" and "belfast" were top-10 hits in most countries but only the former charted in the US
a decent disco/reggae-pop album IMO but not as good as the debut
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
