ABBA-On and On Early Spring 2003 American CD

Essentially the recent complimation "The Name of the Game" released with a differant title for the American makert. On and On indeed!

Ratata-Kollektion October 2002 Swedish CD

This new collection features Frida's duet with them, which i am forgetting the title of ...oh yes - "Sa lange Vi Har Haran" Isn't this a great site!

ABBA- THE NAME OF THE GAME BRITISH CD

Another pointless, if cheap complimation done for the British markert,

which is actually sort of rerelease of a previous complimation.

-Filippa Giordano- -Il Rosso Armore Deluxe October 2002 Deluxe edition.Japanes only release

This new deluxe version of this album features a extra CD with the song "La Barcarolle" from "Hoffman's Adventure" by Jacques Offenbach.Frida duets on this track, and this track only! This is Japanese only release-so it probably makes sense to wait for a less obscure release of this track..

This album should be available in some form in Europe in November, but no word on the USA. The other songs are all by Filllippa, a wonderful opera singer. Fans will remember that Frida sang a opera piece during ABBA's appearence on the 1978 Olivia special and showed impressive range at the time.
