ABBA-THE SONGBOOK - AUSTRALIAN CHART HITS Late 1990 Australian CD
One of the first ABBA albums not to be issued on a Vinyl LP-this one actually boast a CD length of 77 minutes. 20 tracks are featured -all of which were hits in Australia. Thus, the emphasis is on 1975-1977.
Yes ,to reiterate most of ABBA's Australian hits are included here. That's means you can find local hits like "Rock Me " and "Hasta Manana" on this CD. ABBA had a lot of hits early on in Australia but did less well after 1978. . Thus, the emphasis is on songs from 1975-1977.
Yes, just to pound a very dead horse, The entire land down under of Australia (except Kylie Minogue) despised ABBA after having been forced to hear "Fernando" a collective 1,890,297,104 times.

ABBA-THE HITS 1991 3cd set British CD
Released on the British Budget
label Pickwick this was a three part CD compilation series of
ABBA hits (ABBA had more than one hit, you know) and other famous
ABBA tune thingies. Each of three CD's were released separately
at separate
times between 1987-1988
In 1991,the 3 Cd's were cleverly put together into something resembling a box (I think it was paper actually )and viola the first ABBA box set on CD was brought into the world. This was the only ABBA product released in 1991, since Polydor was trying to clear the shelves for their ABBA GOLD and MORE ABBA GOLD....

ABBA GOLD released September 1992 available Worldwide on CD
This is the biggest selling ABBA album. GOLD has been certified to have sold at least 20 million copies worldwide. And I have heard that as of 2004 this disc may have sold as many as 30 million copies. Such figures make the record among the most successful record releases of all time... It is still really the only universally available major single CD collection of all the group's most successful hits. It was released after Polydor bought the worldwide rights to ABBA's music & Polar Music itself from Stig Anderson for approximately 300 million Krona. Polydor got lucky since a second wave of interest in ABBA was occuring right when they released the collection.. Of course, considering how popular ABBA was originally, it would be surprising if they couldn't sell a lot of copies of a well markerted single disc greatest hits album . Even the USA has warmed to this CD to the tune of six million copies. GOLD received a belated release in the US in 1993.
ABBA GOLD had
it's own second wave of sales during 1999's 25th year since Waterloo
celebrations. Remarkably, in 1999 the album hit No 1 for second
time in Britain and other territories seven years after
its release. ABBA Gold continues to sell well, partly, perhaps
due to the musical Mamma Mia, which has been a big
sales tool for ABBA GOLD since almost all the songs in Mamma
Mia can be found on ABBA Gold and visa versa....
The observant will notice that on the original cover of this CD that the fontsize and placement of the letters in ABBA's trademark logo has been subtly altered.The use of the crown over the logo was a bit of added touch , that aimed to imply that ABBA was a classy, regal majestic band, and not a chessy, tasteless, commercial band.
Oh, and by the way, how is this as an album? This is really a CD designed for the casual ABBA fan.. It's a good but not very interesting compilation of all of ABBA worldwide number one songs and other top ten hits.., only "Thank Your For The music" was not a major hit,. With a total 19 songs the collection is fairly generous .The emphasis on this CD is a bit overly much on the 1976 -1980 middle period, all but 4 of the 19 songs come from this time, The main objection to this album is it tends to further the misnomer that ABBA was solely a singles group. ABBA experts also tended to not care much for the original John Tobler liner notes or the design .The recent remastered versions now feature more authoritative notes by Carl Magnus Palm.
It is interesting to note that originally in 1992 this album was actually also released on a 2LP set in some territories where Lp's had not totally disappeared.

ABBA-Oro 1992 -International CD (original 10 track version) Later made Available on CD in revamped 15 track version
Seemingly, the Spanish language version of ABBA Gold.( In Spanish ORO means Gold)
In reality, this is just a reissue with a different cover of the 1980 album GRACIAS POR LA MUSICA. They both originally shared the same ten tracks ....
Gracias had
featured the first ten ABBA recordings in Spanish all recorded
in 1979 and 1980... The songs were chosen were the ones that seemed
to work best in Spanish . The vocals were recorded in 1979 and
1980. The ten tracks are in a different running order than on
GRACIAS.
The cover design is Black on Gold instead of Gold on Black as
on ABBA GOLD.
ORO was reissued in late 1999 with five additional tracks,and with some changes to the cover...
Original 1992 track listing prior to the reissue...
1. Fernando 2. Chiquitita 3. Gracias Por La Musica 4. La Reina Del Baile 5. Al Andar 6. Dame! Dame! Dame! 7. Estoy Sonando 8. Mamma Mia 9. Hasta Manana 10. Conociendome, Conociendote
MORE ABBA GOLD rel May or June 1993 worldwide
This is a very listenable collection. Here are 13 of the hits that didn't fit on ABBA Gold, 4 interesting ABBA album tracks, two B-sides,and one never before released track - "I Am the City "(rccorded in 1982). Indeed ,This album has four of the six -1982 songs on it. 12 of the 20 tracks are from 1979-1982.
This album was originally going to be more of a rarities/fan request project,that would feature more B-sides and unreleased tracks such as"Just Like That'. But Polygram apparently decided to go instead with a track lineup with more familiar tracks...It didn't help that Bjorn and Benny had rejected a release of "just Like That'.
Not surprisingly,
MORE ABBA GOLD didn't sell nearly as well as ABBA Gold...It sold
only around 2 million copies worldwide... It has even gone out
of print in some territories but has been reissued in 1999 in
some territories ,with a different song lineup, new liner notes
and some longer song edits. It has a white cover in contrast to
ABBA GOLD 's black cover. The Spanish album MAS ORO has a similar
color scheme to
More ABBA Gold but obviously a different song lineup .
The original version of MORE GOLD had liner notes by UK ABBA press officer John Tobler, but the recent remastered editions has liner notes by Carl Magnus Palm.On The recent Australian remaster edition the locals threw out "Cassandra" and "Lovelight".
Since In some territories this album has gone out of print -than that means that -"I am The City," has again become harder to find, since it was never compiled on one of studio album remasters...
Like ABBA GOLD, this album was also originally made available in a 2LP set in some places.

ABBA-MAS ORO Mid 1993 American /Latin American CD Out of print
The cover is
designed to imitate MORE ABBA GOLD but as on ORO few of the songs
match actually between MAS ORO and it's English counterpart..This CD features the remaining Spanish
language tracks (Ring Ring, Slipping Through My fingers, "Happy
New Year",
" Andante,Andante" and "When All Is Said and
Done") All five of these tracks were recorded around the
time of their English counterparts (unlike the songs on ORO ).
To fill up the rest of the space , Polydor
included English versions of five other
songs that had been available in Spanish versions on ORO. This
album has been phased out in the 2000's when the expanded version
of ABBA ORO was released.
1.Chiquitita 2..Fernando 3. Dancing Queen 4. Knowing Me, Knowing You 5. Mamma Mia -all English versions
6.Felicdad 7. Andate 8. Se Me Esta Escapando 9. No Hay a Quien Culpar 10.Ring Ring (all Spanish versions)
ABBA-The ABBA Collection 1993 4 Cd Australia & The Netherlands Out of print
Readers Digest put out this box set....This was the first 4cd ABBA box set-though all the tracks were widely available elsewhere...
The same album was re-released in 2004 as the ULTIMATE COLLECTION...
Agnetha, Benny, Björn and Frida-Pa Svenska April 1994 Swedish CD Limited availibility
This is as
close as we get to an ABBA Swedish language album.This 18 song
compilation features songs by Agnetha,Björn and Benny, Frida
and ABBA. All of the songs date from 1970 to 1976.
Although PA SVENSKA was first released in 1994 it is really the
only multiple artist compilation of the Pre- ABBA years .Polar
never tried to do anything like this
in the 1970's There are six ABBA songs here-the Swedish versions
of "Waterloo",
Ring Ring" and "Honey Honey' . Also,there
is Frida's solo Swedish version of "Fernando" and Agnetha's
solo version of "SOS". ABBA didn't do Swedish versions
of any of their later hits. A sixth song, "Ah Vilka Tider'
is also credited to Agnetha, Björn,
Benny, and Annifrid. This song like Björn and Benny's "Att
finnas till",and
"En Karusell" (a Swedish version of "Merry Go Round
are only available on this Cd.
There are four PRE-ABBA Agnetha song here, all of which are available
elsewhere
on CD. These songs all seem to have at least one of the other
ABBA members
on them-notice the ABBA sound on the the chorus to "Drom
ar Drom och Saga
Saga".Two of Frida's solo songs are available on CD only
here. These would be both sides of Frida's 1972 single "Man
Vill Leva lite Dessmellan /"Ska Man Skratta Eller Grata"
single two songs seemingly written by Italians but translated
by Stig.
This album
is subtitled- Stikkan Anderson picks Polars Pearls. So in theory
,Stig made the track selections. Three songs were chosen from
Frida's FRIDA ENSAM album these are " Fernando" of course
",Som en Sparv" and "Vill Du lana en man"
(The Most Beautiful Girl/Guy In the World ) . Why did Stig pick
one of the worst songs (The Most Beautiful Girl...)from FRIDA
ENSAM and put it on this CD -the only reason I can think of is
that Stig wrote the lyrics and was after the publishing royalties.
The other seventeen songs however, do belong on this Cd. The only
problem
with this project is it left many of the PRE- ABBA Björn
and Benny tracks uncompiled ,and it really doesn't do
justice to the full depth of the pre-ABBA solo work -you would
really need two or three CD's to do that. The remaining uncompiled
Bjorn and Benny duo tracks were made available on the 2006 edition
of their Lycka album...

ABBA-Thank You For the Music 4cd set October 1994 Available worldwide
The long
awaited box set (or in actuality book set) was released after
ABBA GOLD proved that were a stlll a handful people (not many
mind you, just a privileged few) willing to spend money on ABBA
records.
B&B , who were typically ignorant of the fans were skeptical
that any one would want to buy a ABBA box set.
More significantly,
B&B were hesitant to release previously unreleased material.
However, a trip to the vaults reminded them that many of the unreleased
songs merited official release.
So the typical box set formula was followed-combine hits , album
tracks , rarities
into one big smorgasbord. About half of ABBA's official output
can be found on this box. 66 tracks on four Cd's. The first three
CD's are chronological. All the songs on the first three CD's
had been released before in some form or the other(though the
mix of "Summer Night City" includes the elegant intro
that had been cut out prior to release)
ABBA's non-album b-sides are treated with respect. ,most of those
can be found on the box. They are spread throughout all four CD's.
The Box
set's centerpiece is the 14 song "ABBA Undeleted Medley".
B&B were wary
of giving these songs official sanction cost hey didn't regard
them as finished, polished material. In a way, B&B are correct
some of the songs seem to work well in this medley format. Most
of this material is listenable, ABBA music always has hooks. Probably
the best song on the medley is the lovely folk medley-Hamlet
III which is featured in two versions.
Two songs,
"Just A notion" and "just Like
That" don't seem to benefit from being put in the medley-they
are too truncated compared to the unreleased versions. It's obvious
that B&B were having problems with "Just Like That"
.-they tried two or three different approaches to the song-and
all were good but they were not satisfied. The version of JLT
on the box set is a just snippet of a longer Sax version. It's
a very annoying teaser -that simply makes you want to go out and
buy the bootleg...."Just a Notion" is not as good of
a song-but it's good enough to merit full release as well...
Two never before released songs were released in their entirety.
"Dreamworld"
is listenable but tad bit annoying , whereas
the Spanish sounding"Put On Your White Sombrero" is
quite good ,sung with character by Frida, it features the most
amazing ABBA backing vocals of the 1980's. It seems strange that
this song didn't make it least make it onto a B-side. The rest
of CD Four features 3 foreign language versions of famous ABBA
songs,
a b-side, and 4 songs originally released by Björn and Benny.
The liner
notes to the box set are lengthy
with essays by Fred Bronson and Jon Tobler.
ABBA memorabilia is pictured and some
of Björn's original lyrics are reproduced.
The best part of the liner notes is Carl
MAgnus Palm's song commentary.
As a whole
the box set is pretty good,
it could have better, but it could have been
far worse.

ABBA-ABBA 3cd Boxset Australia 1995
This set features 3 already released albums packaged together-Voulez-Vous, Super Trouper and Arrival. No bonus tracks included other than "Fernando".
ABBA -American CD studio album issues March ? 1995
Polydor issued or finished issuing it's CD versions of ABBA studio albums in the American market . This was the first time most of ABBA's studio albums were released on CD in America. When Atlantic had ABBA's USA record contract in the 1980's they had issued only ABBA's two Greatest Hits albums and Super Trouper on CD...
These CD's had no bonus tracks, and no liner notes....and were replaced by the first American remastered versions of ABBA's album in 1999.
ABBA-The music Still Goes on-March 1996 Australian/German 'Dutch CD
Issue by Spectrum/Karusell this a selection of lesser hits and album tracks ,but no -B-sides or rarities. It was issued also as part of three CD set. This has sort of a white cover-and strangely designed ABBA logo..

ABBA-The Danish Collection 1996 ?CD
This is The Music Still Goes On with a a different title ,and a black cover, albeit the cover is also similar to The music Still Goes on. From what I have seen there are not too many Danish -only ABBA releases...
ABBA-Collection Series 1996 Australian CD
This is similiar to The Music Still Goes on
as the title implies that ABBA is one just one of many artists included in a series of CD's...
ABBA
-Forever Gold Late 1996 2cd set Various territories
This couples ABBA Gold and More ABBA gold into one box.. One version of this released in Australia had a bonus CD with three tracks. This CD set also seems to have been subject to reissue...There is also a European 2CD set called Double Must that does the same thing.
ABBA- Double up September or October 1997 Australian 2cd set
A Polydor two Cd set featuring ABBA's 1975 album and Arrival.. IT utilizes the 1997 Australian remasters for this purpose.
ABBA-LOVE STORIES- Fall 1998 Available on CD in a variety markets
Nothing new here! Available on CD in a variety markets. This is the most serious and recent attempt to issue a ABBA " love song " of "ballad /slow song" collection.. But, Unlike many previous attempts at an ABBA love Cd ,there are no -B-sides or solo tracks.
The title implies
that ABBA's songs tell stories ,which is a bit of a oversell.
ABBA really were not much good at doing songs about finding true
love, many of their best songs were about breakups, or nothing
at all.
Nice cover on this one- They used a lovely photo
from the ARRIVAL era, This wasn't released in the USA.
This compilation sold OK but was really only a hit in France where for some reason it hit #3.

This release also couples ABBA Gold and More ABBA gold into one box.. But instead of calling it Forever Gold-the Spanish speaking folks in Caracas called it 39 Grandes Exitos...Yes, the word for "hit" in Spanish is "exitos". This CD has edited versions of "The Name Of The Game", Voulez-Vous","The Visitors", ..
ABBA-CLASSIC ABBA -The Universal Masters Collection- 1999 CD

ABBA--The Album/Voulez-Vous 1999 Europe 2cd set
For some reason (overstock, random chance?)these studio albums were coupled together into two packs.
ABBA-The
Collection. Mid 1999 European CD's.
This is a three CD set issued in Europe.
IT was marketed solely on TV and through
mail order. The three Cd's are called ABBA
Classic, ABBA romance, and ABBA dance.
No new tracks here,but nicely packaged with some liner notes by
Carl Magnus Palm. Also features a bonus video.
ABBA GOLD (remastered )March 1999 International CD
The old warhorse was remastered for this particular pressing -the track listing was the same-but the liner notes were now by Carl Magnus Palm, instead of John Tobler...

Dutch only thingie. Jaar mean
Jar. No ,no,

ABBA-THE SINGLES COLLECTION 1972-1982
Limited edition 29 Cd set made in Germany.
Released April 1999.
ABBA for the
independently wealthy. This is a limited edition box set of 29
ABBA's singles as
they were released in Germany.This is based on a similar vinyl
single box set of German singles released in the 1980's. This
set is also known as the Tin Biscuit Box set because
that's what the actual box looks like.)
This new CD version was released in April 1999 to celebrate the
25 the anniversary of ABBA's Eurovsion win. That's explains why
the bonus CD is a one track CD of "Waterloo " (Swedish
version),thus all four version of "Waterloo"
are included. All the tracks have been remastered,
and are presented in their full lengths . (The box offers up the
first appearance on CD for the full-length version of "Lovelight".
The original sometimes quite cheesy German
45 picture sleeves are reproduced on the CD sleeves. The set included
some liner notes
by Carl Magnus Palm . There is absolutely no
new material here. Save your money and give
it to your favorite charity. Oh you know you want this-resist,
resist.

ABBA-MORE ABBA GOLD (remastered) July 1999 International CD
Remastered this time-the track listing was the same-but the liner notes were now by Carl Magnus Palm , instead of John Tobler.
This version was not released in Australia...
ABBA-MORE ABBA GOLD September 1999 Australian CD
The strange Australian reisssue
. It is remastered
(good), has a liner notes by Carl Magnus Palm
(good) and has a altered track listing (a good and a bad thing.).
Instead of "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" , "Ring Ring", . and the two b-sides Lovelight ,B-side we find in their place. " Thank You For the the Music", "I Have A Dream" , and " Super Trouper".
It's not clear why "Lovelight" and "Cassandra" would be taken out, but" I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" and"Ring Ring", are on the AUSTRALIAN VERSION OF ABBA GOLD.
So there was no point in having them on the Australian MORE ABBA GOLD!

A Dutch only release. This is a one CD "Best of" compilation set. This has remastered tracks and features ABBA lesser hits and some album tracks. They were dancing in Lelystad!

ABBA-The ORIGINALS October 1999 British 3cd set
A three disc repackaging of
ABBA's 1974 studio album-WATERLOO,
and two compilation albums -THE MUSIC STILL GOES ON,
as well as THE VOICE OF ABBA. They must have had
overstock in the
warehouse. The same repackaging was released in Germany earlier
in the year.
As you may remember ,THE VOICE OF ABBA is actually
an Agnetha/Frida solo compilation....
ABBA-THE
Complete Singles Collection November 1999 German 2cd set
This is new 2cd set
released in Germany by our heroes, Polydor-now Universal...
Local markets often like to have locally issued compilation albums
, though recently Universal has been trying to discourage local
releases.. This set,is the first CD to have had all three German
language ABBA recordings on it. (They can also be now found on
the ABBA The
Complete Studio Recordings boxset)
For whatever reason, this particular compilation was also released in China in 2000...
Tracks include:
DISC ONE (18 tracks)
People Need Love / Ring, Ring/. Waterloo / Waterloo (German Version)
/ Honey Honey/. So Long/. I Do x 5 / S.O.S.. Mamma Mia / Fernando/
Dancing Queen / Money, Money, Money / Knowing Me, Knowing You
/The Name Of The Game / Take A Chance On Me / Eagle / Thank You
For The Music / Summer Night City
DISC TWO (15 tracks)
Chiquitita / Does Your Mother Know / Voulez Vous/ Gimme x 3/ I
Have A Dream / The Winner Takes It All / Super Trouper/. Lay All
Your Love On Me / One Of Us / Head Over Heels / The Day Before
You Came/ Under Attack
ABBA-ORO Grandes Exitos (remastered version ) November 1999 Spanish Cd Released 2000 elsewhere
ABBA Oro now has been remastered , and revamped
to include all 15 Spanish language ABBA tracks . The cover is
black instead of the gold found on the original ORO cover.
Also the cover is now graced with the ABBA members signeratures.
ABBA Oro was released in the United States and other places in
2000. A planned release for Mars has been rejected..Does anybody
read this shit? Thus this is now the essential Spanish language
ABBA recording to buy.
This new version was remastered and includes as bonus tracks the five additionalSpanish language songs first found on MAS ORO. ("Ring Ring"," Slipping Through My Fingers','Happy New Year' 'Andante,Andante' and 'When All Is Said and Done"). Thus this is now the essential Spanish language ABBA recording to buy.

ABBA-Classic ABBA -The Universal Masters Collection December 1999 European CD
Another compilation, this features hits thrown
together with non-hits. It apparently has been issued before earlier
in the 1990's with a different name. The title implies it has
been remastered but I cannot confirm that. A similiar release
was the Milenium Edition
Thank You For The Music / The

Me / Ring, Ring / The Way Old Friends Do / Slipping Through My

/ If It Wasn't For The Nights / People Need Love / Happy New Year/
ABBA ORO (REMASTERED AND EXPANDED) 2000 RELEASED IN MANY markets ON CD
This remaster had been released in Spain in 1999(see above) , but the new edition did not show up till after the turn of the century in most other markerts
ABBA-THE COMPLETE GOLD COLLECTION May 2000 2cd set...
Like Forever Gold this combines ABBA GOLD, and MORE ABBA GOLD.
Only this collection features the 1999 Australian editions of those CD's .
The Australians had a different track selection on their ABBA GOLD, and subsequently on their More ABBA gold as well. The main drawback is that you no longer get the the B-sides -"Cassandra" and "Lovelight". This was issued in Red packaging.
ABBA- MILLENNIUM EDITION January 2000 German CD
What can one say about this CD, well basically it's reisssue of thr ClassiC ABBA-THE UNIVERSAL MASTER COLLECTION which had just been Released throughout Europe in 1999. .

ABBA-20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection September 2000 USA CD
Part of a new series of greatest hits albums put out by Universal. Various artists are featured in this series- ABBA merely being one of them.The disc is logically chosen, if a bit ungenerous. You can get all the same songs except for I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do on ABBA Gold.The track listing includes 11 of ABBA 's 14 American Top 40 hits. (The exceptions being Honey,Honey, Does Your Mother Know and When All is Said and Done). This album actually went Gold in the USA, impressive for a compilation album.The CD sold well mainly because the album was often displayed with the other artists in the "2o century masters" series...Oh and that Mamma Mia musical helped moved units too..
Track listing- 1. Waterloo 2. S.O.S. 3. I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do 4. Mamma Mia 5. Fernando 6. Dancing Queen 7. Knowing Me, Knowing You 8. The Name of the Game 9. Take a Chance On me10. Chiquitita 11. The Winner Takes It All
ABBA -S.O.S.: Best of Abba -January 2001 Japanese CD.
This is a very successful new single CD compilation released only in Japan. This release reached #3 on the Japanese charts.

ABBA-THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION October 2001 Worldwide CD release
Intended by Universal as it's definitive 2 disc international ABBA compilation.
The focus here is on ABBA's A sides . No purely non hit album tracks are included.. Since virtually all of ABBA 's A-sides s are included this is a more chronilogically balanced compilation than the one CD disc -ABBA Gold.
Two rarities are included the heavy 1974 mix of "Ring Ring" and the extended US DJ remix of "Voulez-Vous".This set features liner notes by Carl Magnus Palm.This 2cd set has also been released as part of a sound and vision set.

Another rehash of ABBA's best selling album. ABBA GOLD has also seemingly become Abba's most reissued album.. Here there is a revised booklet and updated liner notes, The nineteen tracks remain the same.

ABBA-ABBA ORO Edición Del 10' Aniversario September 2002 CD
Preety much the same thing as the recent 2000 version of ABBA ORO though this one has the liner notes by Carl Magnus Palm in English and Spanish. Has the same fifteen tracks as the 2000 remaster. I just realized that Universal released tenth anniversary editions of both ABBA gold and ABBA ORO in 2002...

ABBA -ON AND ON -AMERICAN CD February 2003
Pretty much the same album as THE NAME OF THE GAME, album only In America they released this and called it ON and ON. Apparently they couldn't afford the other "and On"??? Does anybody read this shit-why are we why are there lilacs in the Spring and Football in the Fall? Why indeed?

ABBA -ABBA 18 Hits Swedish CD May 2005
This is a new Swedish markert only compilation which features all four of ABBA tracks in Swedish as well as 14 other hits... Apparently this CD sort of replaces the 1990's out of print Polar Music compilation called PA SVENSKA which is the only previous CD to have all four Swedish language ABBA tracks....PA SVENSKA is better cos it had harder to find solo tracks .
A international release of this is also going to be issued with a different track listing...

ABBA-LA NOSTRA STORIA - 20 GRANDI SUCCESSI" Late 2005 Italian CD
Another unexciting compilation this time for the Italian -markert. ABBA releases-are somewhat unusual in Italy since ABBA was never huge in Italy..(ABBA never even had a #1 single in Italy). All the songs are in English since ABBA never recorded in Italian. Unexciting packaging, but there are twenty songs....

Box set March 2006
I would like to drink some tea ,but meanwhile I'll
tell you about this release, it's a longbox book like thing, that
compiles three of ABBA studio albums crammed into it...The three
"A" albums, actually, affirmatively, assidiously! ABBA,
ARRIVAL and the ALBUM..all for 29 dollars Also included are the
bonus tracks found on the 2001 remasters....
ABBA-Greatest Hits (30th anniversary
edition) April 2006 Sweden and some other territories CD
A cd reissue of the 1976 Swedish edition of ABBA's Greatest Hits...Thus
it has the bizarre drawing of ABBA and animal life as opposed
to the park bench photo on the cover. ..Greatest Hits was never
widely available on CD in most places,,partly because it was superceded
by ABBA GOLD...

ABBA-Complete Studio Recordings -Danish Version November 2006 -9CD Danish box set
A new version of Universal's multi disc collection of all of ABBA's studio recordings. This one is new and unimproved-it no longer features the two DVD included in the original box....
Also, the set no longer includes lyrics booklet....granted most of the lyrics were not very good...The set still has the nine CD's and an exciting timeline booklet....
ABBA-Number Ones November 2006- 2 CD/DVD
Yes. like the Beatles Elvis and the Bee Gees, ABBA's compilers
have attempted to compile all their number one hits on one
cd...Of course, ABBA did not have enough number one hits in any
one country to fill an entire 74 minute CD,only the
Beatles can make that claim..So instead this CD must
compiled on the idea that all or most of the songs on the
first CD were a #1 chart hit somewhere on some kind
of chart....This package also includes a bonus audio Cd.
