Eruption featuring Precious Wilson


It's great to finally have on CD the first studio album from Eruption - Eruption featuring Precious Wilson. I really enjoy the music of Eruption - whilst they hail from the same producer Frank Farian, they have a different sound to Boney M. who he was producing at the same time.

This CD features all 10 tracks from the original album, plus 5 bonus tracks, 2 of which are tracks from Eruption's early years, and the US 12" version of Party Party. All in all it is a great CD to listen to and features some classic tracks, including I Can't Stand The Rain, Computer Love & Party Party.

I'm now looking forward to purchasing Eruption's 2nd album on CD - Leave A Light. Hopefully it's as good as this one.

Boney M. Feat: Liz Mitchell - Megamix



Great video of Bony M. feat Liz` Mitchell performing the UK top 10 hit Boney M. Megamix from 1992 on Dutch TV. One major downside with the video however is in the interview with Liz she mentions that she sang the female lead and backing vocals, and that Frank Farian sang the male lead vocals, failing to mention that Marcia Barrett also sang lead and backing vocals on many tracks,  as for example Boney M.'s 1977 hit Belfast (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMD1WMut1ZM) Was this a case of Liz blowing her own trumpet, or did she simply make a mistake and forget to mention Marcia? I wonder, but I suspect we will never know what was going through her mind at the time.
