Boney M. - Mary's Boy Child ( HQ 1080p HD Upscale )

Boney M. is a Eurodisco group created by German record producer Frank Farian. Originally based in Germany, the four original members of the group's official line-up were Jamaicans Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett, Maizie Williams from Montserrat and Bobby Farrell from Aruba. The group was formed in 1975 and achieved popularity during the disco era of the late 1970s.

1978 was the group's biggest year. They released a new double A-sided single, "Rivers of Babylon/Brown Girl in the Ring", which became a massive hit all over Europe, reaching #1 in several countries as well as becoming one of the biggest selling singles of all time in the UK. It also became their most successful single in the United States, peaking at #30 on the U.S. pop singles chart. Following this came their biggest-selling album, Nightflight to Venus, which spawned another hit single, "Rasputin". Continuing with their success, they released "Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord", which was the 1978 Christmas number one single in the United Kingdom and became another of the biggest selling singles of all time there. Also during 1978, Boney M. made a much publicized promotional visit to the Soviet Union, one of the very few Western acts along with Elton John to do so, although tracks like "Rasputin" were not released in the Soviet Union due to their lyrics.

Wanted to upload this for Christmas season. First off the source file wasn't very good quality. Lots of noise, very blurry and odd dropout lines running through it. I've managed to minimize this as much as possible. Even so you can see some noise that just can't be removed without damaging the image information. Since this is such low quality already that is a big no go area. I've tweaked it as much as possible. Without a good master file this is the best I can do with it.

Sound for this is mono. I can't find a stereo track that matches the running length of the video. I've looked everywhere. Well I don't like mono sound very much so I've run it through a few filters to give it some sparkle and widened the sound field a fraction. A poor attempt at stereo but it sounds much, much better.

I hope you all enjoy these Christmas season videos that I'm uploading. May you have a peaceful Christmas and a happy new year when the clock hits midnight on that fast approaching day :-)

The Star wasn't actually a star. It was Jupiter and Venus really close to each other, that they looked as one.

...I've seen that documentary and it sounds plausible but we will never really know for sure because we weren't there. Whatever it was I am glad that it adds to the Christmas story. Have a peaceful one with all your loved ones.
