Boomania is the debut and most successful album by Betty Boo. It was released in 1990, and was re-released as a remix album: Doin' the Do: The Best of Betty Boo in 1999. King John (a duo comprising Rex Brough and John Coxon) produced most of the songs. Coxon continued to collaborate with Betty Boo on her second album, GRRR! It's Betty Boo.
