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. In early 2021 Hammond recalled the following about the '88 remix project, explaining the new vocals: "The 2inch 24 track multi-track tapes were sent to PWL by Frank Farian of Far Music. Apparently, they had lost some of the original recordings—four songs if I remember correctly—and had to record four new versions; they were musically incomplete but good enough for me to overdub and remix". 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 has continued to release new recordings under the name Boney M. over the years, such as 1990 non-album single "Stories" (featuring both Liz Mitchell and Reggie Tsiboe) and the four new recordings on compilation More Gold – 20 Super Hits Vol. II in 1993, 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.
