Where it came from
Released in 1979 by the East German state-owned record label AMIGA, this single brought Boney M.'s international disco hit to listeners behind the Iron Curtain. At the time, the GDR maintained a complex relationship with Western pop music, often licensing successful global tracks for domestic distribution to satisfy the demand of East German youth while maintaining state control over media production.
The record features the standard upbeat production characteristic of Frank Farian’s work for the group, designed to capture the festive, globalized spirit of late seventies disco. The AMIGA pressing is distinct for its simple, utilitarian sleeve design, which contrasts with the more elaborate visual packaging typically found in Western releases, serving as a functional artifact of the era's state-sanctioned cultural exchange.
