ABBA THE ALBUMS is a Discography compiled by John
Bernhardt between 1999 and now....The site is very much inspired by the 1970's book Beatles-The Illustrated Record-a
book which offers reviews and track listings of all the major Beatles & Beatles solo records.
My focus here is on reviews and detailed facts about each release , as opposed
to a notation of record label catalog numbers, song times, country by country variations or alternate timings or mixes. For
various reasons, the site has never been very visually orientated.
The site has a special emphasis on the work of Benny Andersson, who sometimes get
ignored in the ABBA histories and web sites...
I endeavor to be accurate with the facts noted on the site, but with thousands
of pieces of information, I have on occasion gotten some facts wrong, usually when I attempt to guess about something.. Occasionally,
you will find misspellings on the site. There also typographical errors and lots of word omission...I have not always used
Swedish letters such as å,ö or ,ä. On occasion some songs
are not listed by the proper title due to sloppiness such as "The Name of the Game" being listed as " Name of the Game"...Occasionally,
for brevity some song titles are sometimes abbreviated For example, " Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight )
becomes "Gimme X3" I Do, I Do , I Do, I Do, I Do" becomes" I do X5", "Take A Chance on Me" becomes "TACOM"...
For brevity 's sake, the 1994 Thank You For The Music box set is
often referred to as the box set even though there are other ABBA box sets.
My writing Style for album length works is sometimes inconsistent, but usually
album titles are either bold faced or Italized, and song titles are listed in quotes...
The term " album" originated in the era of 78's and usually refers to any official
recording listed on the site either CD, LP or cassette, that has five or more songs...
For an album, To be listed on the site I have had to have actually seen the album,
or read about the album on a trusted source....
I have endeavored to find the actual month and year of release for every album
listed on this site, occasionally sources disagree on what year an album was released, and often the exact month of release
is not known...
There seem to be a endless amount of facts that one could plug into such a website,
certainly there are a endless number of records that could somehow be listed here...And so incredibly, some records
are not listed here -bootlegs, various artists albums that have material available elsewhere, related artist records
that don't actually include ABBA members playing on them, some record club releases,etc.
