Format:Audio CD
First bought this album in 1976 as a viny LP,which I still have. My turntable,like my vinyl collection lies in the loft! When I saw this cd yesterday I just had to buy it. Glad I did. It is as good today as it ever was. I have never bought any of the compilation cd's as the original albums are better by far.
If you only buy one album of Abba let it be this one.
Also have upgraded copies of Super Trouper, The Album, and Waterloo as well.Only Voulez Vous and The Visitors remain as vinyl......but not for long.

. . . just when you were getting into it, it would finish. Even here with the added 2 bonus tracks (which ain't really bonus tacks at all(!!)) it only takes it up to a half decent album length.
Over and above that, tho' there is the music, which is just wonderful. "Dum Dum Diddle", "My Love, My Life", "Why Did It Have To be Me" & "That's Me" are all my favourites. Not to belittle the singles at all, I just especially like these tracks.
"Money . . ." & "Knowing me . . ." & "Dancing Queen" are all well known, and are quite frankly up there with the best of the 2 B's songwriting. "Fernando" isn't a bonus track per se (although never actually appearing on the album originally) as it was a single and has subsequently appeared on numerous compilations starting way back on the first Greatest Hits package.
A fine album, tho'. Abba at their topmost best(!)

Only ABBA's third studio album, but what a masterpiece!!
Forever the anthem to the long and hot summer of 1976 - hits such as Dancing Queen and the album itself will be forever locked away in history for us all to open the doors to whenever we get depressed of all the awful things that are going on nowadays, and we wish to escape to a much happier time!
This collection includes two number ones plus a Top 3 smash! All ABBA's albums now sound incredibly like greatest hits compilations due to the catchiness of all their album material. Each and every song has been so well thought over and not thrown together like so much album material we get from other groups, merely to fill the gaps between the hits.
This was ABBA's shortest album at barely thirty minutes long, and is just another testimony that some of the best and most successful works, are indeed the shortest of them all!
To this day, ABBA remain timeless in that one can play any of their albums any time, and they still sound as good and as fresh as the day they were recorded.
God bless them!
