"Greatest Hits of All Times - Remix '88" is a remix album by Boney M. released in 1988. Boney M.'s new manager at the time, Simon Napier-Bell, succeeded in persuading the four original members to briefly reunite and promote this remix album. The man employed to re-arrange the original hits and create new interest in the band was PWL's Pete Hammond who previously had remixed many of the Stock Aitken Waterman stable's chart-topping hits with Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Rick Astley and Bananarama. Five of the tracks also feature new lead vocals by Liz Mitchell. The remix project spun off three fairly successful single releases, "Rivers of Babylon (Remix '88)", "Rasputin (Remix '88)" and the 1988 "Megamix", which would appear on the follow-up album issued a year later, and created the first wave of Boney M. nostalgia in Europe.
While producer Frank Farian have continued to release new recordings under the name Boney M. all through the 80's, 90's and 2000's, such as 1990 non-album single "Stories" (featuring both Liz Mitchell and Reggie Tsiboe), the four new recordings on compilation "More Gold - 20 Super Hits Vol. II" in 1993 as well as "A Moment Of Love" on 2006's "The Magic of Boney M.", "Greatest Hits of All Times - Remix '88" was in fact the final album project to involve all four of the original Boney M. members; Marcia Barrett, Bobby Farrell, Liz Mitchell and Maizie Williams.
