Bad Boys is the fourth and final studio album by the original formation of Spanish duo Baccara, first released on label RCA-Victor in Germany in 1981. It contains European single release "Colorado". This is the first album to have not been produced by Rolf Soja. The album was produced by Graham Sacher in London, UK. The typical Baccara sound of early albums was gone, a more pop-rock album was the result. Also missing was the original Baccara logo that was on the three albums produced before Bad Boys. This album was not a commercial success nor did it sell as much as the first three albums. This album would be the last time the original girls would record together.
The rights to the RCA-Victor back catalogue are currently held by Sony BMG Music Entertainment – the original Bad Boys album in its entirety remains unreleased on compact disc. However, all tracks can be found on the 3-disc 30th Anniversary box set issued in 2007.
All tracks composed by Graham Sacher and arranged by Bruce Baxter

The Original Hits is a compilation album by Spanish duo Baccara released on label BMG International in 1990. The Original Hits was BMG-Ariola's first compact disc release of Baccara material and was in fact a re-issue of 1978 compilation The Hits Of Baccara provided with a new title and alternate artwork. The Hits Of Baccara having originally been issued in late 1978, this consequently means that The Original Hits omits recordings from the duo's third and fourth studio albums Colours (1979) and Bad Boys (1981) including single releases "Parlez-Vous Français?", "Body-Talk"/"By 1999", "Ay Ay Sailor", "Sleepy Time Toy" and "Colorado", thus creating a retrospective that only covers the first half of the original Baccara formation's recording career.
