'''Gold - 20 Super Hits''' is a [[1993 in music|1993]] [[compilation album]] by [[Disco]]/[[Eurodance]] 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 (Boney M. 1993)|The Greatest Hits]]'') and most other European countries since 1980's ''[[The Magic Of Boney M. - 20 Golden Hits]]''.

'''1583''' was a [[common year starting on Saturday]] of the [[Gregorian calendar]] (or a [[common year starting on Tuesday]] of the 10-day slower [[Julian calendar]]).

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 provided them with synthesized 90's percussion (disco hi-hats, sampled tambourines and handclaps). These new-ish mixes have since been presented 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.]]''.
