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.
Producer Farian controversially edited most of the tracks and also overdubbed them with synthesized 1990s percussion such as disco hi-hats, sampled tambourines and handclaps specifically for this release. These mixes have since appeared on various Boney M. hit collections issued in the 1990s and 2000s, most notably 2006's The Magic of Boney M., which featured nearly all of the tracks that appeared on this release in this form.
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 1992 and gave the group their tenth UK Top 10 entry.
