The Complete Collection is a compilation album of recordings by Boney M. released by BMG/CMC Records in Denmark in late 2000.

Contents

Just like the Dutch 25 Jaar Na Daddy Cool this two disc forty track compilation celebrated the 25th anniversary of breakthrough single "Daddy Cool". The Complete Collection was the first Boney M. CD collection to include most of the original singles issued by the band between the years 1976 and 1986 in chronological running order, from the aforementioned "Daddy Cool" to final release "Bang Bang Lulu". The compilation also contains selected tracks from best-selling albums Love For Sale, Nightflight to Venus, Oceans of Fantasy, as well as 1989 single "The Summer Mega Mix" and concludes with tracks from the Boney M. Christmas Album.

The Complete Collection was a major commercial success in Denmark, peaking at #7 in the albums chart, which made it Boney M.'s best chart entry in the country since the late 1970s and the compilation was later awarded with a Platinum disc.
