fans, but casual listeners who just want the hits should probably opt for one of the group's compilations. Love For Sale performed by Boney M is available in both: lossy (320kbps MP3) and lossless (FLAC) quality Full album: 12 tracks: Ma Baker, Love for Sale, Belfast, Gloria, Can You Waddle, Plantation Boy, Motherless Child, Silent Lover, A Woman Can Change a Man, Still Im Sad, Have You Ever Seen The Rain, Ma Baker / Somebody Scream (feat. In short, Love for Sale is a solid listen for Boney M. The most interesting of these is a ballad style cover of the Yardbirds' "Still I'm Sad," which transforms this rock song into an effective mood piece dominated by the group's Gregorian chant-like humming. However, the album tracks are not as consistent this time out: the cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" benefits from an effective rhythm guitar hook but the up-tempo arrangement robs the song of its emotional power, and "Gloria Can You Waddle," while catchy, is little more than a rewrite of the group's early European hit "Baby Do You Wanna Bump." With these criticisms in mind, the album still offers enough strong tracks to please Boney M.'s fan base. Like its predecessor, Love for Sale also scored some notable international hits: "Ma Baker" is a colorful gangster story that boasts a stuttered vocal hook guaranteed to stick in the listener's head, and "Belfast" is an up-tempo dancefloor stormer that works some surprisingly heavy sounding power chords into the group's slick dancefloor sound.įrank Farian's slick, lush production ensures that the album is a slick piece of ear candy from start to finish. Boney M.'s follow-up to their 1976 success Take the Heat Off Me closely adheres to the formula established by that album: a combination of original songs and offbeat cover versions done in a style that marries bubblegum pop hooks to a disco beat.
