The Best Of 10 Years – 32 Superhits

''The Best of 10 Years – 32 Superhits'' also known as ''32 Superhits - Non-Stop Digital Remix'' is a remix album by Boney M. released in 1986.

In 1981 producer Frank Farian created a thirteen-minute medley in the style of Stars on 45 called "6 Years of Boney M. Hits (Boney M. on 45)" which was issued as both A- and B-side singles in certain territories - in the UK the medley was the B-side of ''Boonoonoonoos'' 12" single "We Kill The World (Don't Kill The World)", in Germany the edited 7" version appeared as the B-side of '' Christmas Album'' single "Little Drummer Boy" and the longer version as a separate A-side 12" release in early 1982.

Five years later, shortly after the unsuccessful '' Eye Dance'' project, when Boney M. were celebrating their first decade as a group - although it in reality was dissolved at the time - Farian took the non-stop medley idea one step further and extended the medley to a thirty-two track, forty-six minutes full-length album of Boney M's greatest hits with additional percussive and synthesized overdubs.

''The Best of 10 Years - 32 Superhits'' reached #3 on the German albums chart.

In 2008, Sony-BMG re-issued the album with a new cover and title as ''"In the Mix"''.
