Nice songs

Nice set up. Are you using the Bose equaliser with the 901s?

Yes "Rasputin" was a great hit. I found my Boney M records were well recorded.

Special mention should be made of Keith Forsey, on drums and percussion , who played on BoneyMs first three albums, and was a staple artiste on all Giorgio Moroder albums.

I'm curious to know how close this new release to the original pressing. Disco Dancer 1st press gatefold is one of the finest pressings from EMI/HMV

This will be my first DD lp. So, no idea lp to lp.
Had old cassette ( '85 or 86 ) and CD/wav( around 2010 ) - seems a bit better if not same.

Yes indeed the original copy was very well recorded. Maybe someone can compare the newer pressing and tell us.

Boney M records do sound great.

Thanks Murali.

Further, let's applaud Frank Farian /Fariam the singer, songwriter, composer and producer also. The male voice of Boney M is mostly Farian’s and Bobby Farrell only gives the “Lips” during performances.

Seems like, Frank Farian got inspired from the following well known folk songs, to write/compose the Rasputin song.

(RUSE KOSE CURO IMAŠ – Rada Manojlovic - a Serbian song)

Uskudar (Katibim)

Rasputin versions in disc:

45 RPM, Maxi-Single, Limited Edition, Hansa Records : 7 Minutes 32 Seconds - This is the best one to collect. (Just my view only, as I have listened to different versions of this song in Vinyl)
Images:
12" single 7:32 version
12" Single 7:32 Version -Cover

1st LP version : 6 Minutes 26 Seconds

2nd LP Version : 6 Minutes 03 Seconds

Subsequent versions : 5 Minutes 51 Seconds

7” single : (in general) 4 Minutes 43 Seconds and duration varies from one country to other pressings.

Calcutta had a group which did instrumental covers. Called 'Savages' this was a well known group in its time. I have an LP and it's nice. Somehow The Shadow reminded me of them. Thanks Murali.

The Shadows have accompanied Cliff Richard during his formative days, and this particular 20 Golden greats LP , though recorded in early 1960s, sounds near audiophile.
