Nightflight to Venus, Boney M.'s third studio album, found the group leaning further into their signature blend of disco, soul, and Caribbean influences, with even more ambitious thematic concepts.
- The album topped the UK Albums Chart for two weeks in early 1979, becoming their only number-one album in the UK.
- Originally released with only seven tracks, some later pressings included the additional song "Mary's Boy Child – Oh My Lord", a Christmas single that had been a UK number one in 1978.
- The album's title track was heavily inspired by the Soviet science fiction novel "Per Aspera Ad Astra" by Yefremov, a favorite of Farian's.
Boney M. was a German-Caribbean Euro-disco group created by producer Frank Farian. They achieved massive success in the late 1970s with a string of international hits.
