Gold - 20 Super Hits is a 1992 Greatest Hits Album by group Boney M. . Shortly after record label PolyGram had acquired the rights to the ABBA back catalogue and had issued the multimillion-selling hits package '' Gold - Greatest Hits '', BMG and producer Frank Farian followed suit with Boney M.'s ''Gold - 20 Super Hits'' which resulted in their best chart entry in the UK (#14 - see '' The Greatest Hits '') and most other European countries since 1980's '' The Magic Of Boney M. - 20 Golden Hits ''.

The album covers of some editions of the ''Gold'' career retrospective declared that these were the 'original masters' which was a truth with modification since producer Farian not only had edited most of the tracks but also had overdubbed them with synthesized 90's percussion such as disco hi-hats, sampled tambourines and handclaps. These mixes have since been credited as the original 70's versions on most Boney M. hit collections issued in the 90's and 2000's, including 2006's '' The Magic Of Boney M. ''.

''Gold - 20 Super Hits''/'' The Greatest Hits '' included a new "Boney M. Megamix", also issued as a single, which reached #7 in the UK in December of 1992 and gave the group their tenth UK Top 10 entry.
