| Don't have a copy of it, but just for info it was released by Boney M,
a West Indies group, and charted in the UK on 2nd december 1978. It was
in the charts for 8 weeks and got to number 1, and was backed with `Oh
My Lord'.

Would he make me a copy? And is it all Cristmas music or did they play
other stuff to?
Thanks,
Roberta

mainly other stuff, although in a similar vein. Very gospel based, more
notable tracks are stuff like `Rivers of Babylon' (nothing to do with the SF
series!) and `Ma Baker'. About a dozen hits in all (still have my Guinness
book handy, but I can't reach the light switch! :) in the late '70s.

| They were German, and like Milli Vanilli, with whom they shared a producer,
had (mainly) different people doing the singing as they had for the performing:
the bloke with the huge afro never sang a note.

Any more good Balders facts gratefully received!

I believe they were on a German record label, but I seem to remember
that at least one of the female singers was English.

I'm staying out of this one, I know nothing, I've seen nothing and I've
heard nothing. An admission to anything else could be
self-incriminating in years to come...

| I just want to thank everyone who replied to me hear and off line. A
local music store just called me to say they managed to get a greatest
hits cd and Mary's Boy Child is on it, they will hold it for me to pick
up (they called me becuase I left my name with them last year).
Thanks again,
Roberta
