Product Description

CD Description
ABBA's third album, released in 1975, finds the group at the end of the first phase of their career. Having scored massive world-wide success with the bubblegum classics "Ring Ring" and "Waterloo" in the previous two years, the Swedish foursome continued that streak with the sweet "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do", the silly "Tropical Loveland" and "Bang-A-Boomerang". However, "Mamma Mia" and the grandly-titled "Intermezzo No. 1" showcased a new compositional maturity somewhat reminiscent of Brian Wilson's 1964 productions.
Several songs, including the brilliant, enormous hit "S.O.S". and theexcellent "Hey Hey Helen" (covered by Lush 15 years later),contained the first inklings of the melancholy that would become such a fundamental part of their later albums. ABBA's self-titled album is the first key turning point of their long and exceptional career.

5.0 out of 5 stars ABBA were always the 'tops'!, 2 Oct 2007
By FAMOUS NAME (UNITED KINGDOM) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      

Only ABBA's second album was already putting The Beatles in the shade!

Lots of powerful numbers here that have since become famous favourites; 'Mamma Mia', 'SOS', 'Bang-A-Boomerang' and 'I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do'. Also one or two 'oddities' for ABBA in the form of; 'Tropical Loveland', (which could have been a solo for Frida) the unusual 'Man In the Middle', and the one that is almost bordering on the classical with 'Intermezzo No. 1'. ABBA also utilised the very sexy voice of Bjorn on a couple of tracks here, and this album also includes the infamous track 'So Long' that was to be forever remembered as the only single of theirs never to chart. ABBA were not known for making mistakes, yet if they had flipped this over and released it for the 'B Side' which was: 'I've Been Waiting For You' - absolutely nothing convinces me that this would not have been a number one for them at the time!

Great timeless stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed it, 4 Oct 2008
I really enjoyed this CD, specially INTERMEZZO NO.1. If you are an Abba fan - this product will not disappoint you. The inside booklet also a great souvernir. No disappointments at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheerful, enjoyable ABBA album!!!, 29 Sep 2007
By Chris Tarbet "Kris" (Cardiff, Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
1. Mamma Mia - An ABBA classic. Definetly a good way to open the album 'ABBA.' Superb No1!!! (5/5)

2. Hey Hey Helen - Its a glitter rock genius! Strange and daft lyrics, but overall its a catchy track. (4/5)

3. Tropical Loveland - It can be known for quite a ridiculous song, but 'Tropical Loveland' has got good charisma and vocals. (4/5)

4. SOS - ABBA's 2nd top ten hit after 'Waterloo' is beautifully sung by Agnetha. A romantic chorus and good keyboard flicks. (5/5)

5. Man in the Middle - The B-side to 'SOS.' Bjorn sings in a rather funky or jazzy style to this underated gem. Fab vocals, perharps a little daft. (4/5)

6. Bang-A-Bommerang - Amazing song all about love. A really cheerful and happy song. The girls voices are nice and clear, too. This should have been a hit. (5/5)

7. I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do - Reached No38 in the British Charts. Odd , deep vocals from the girls in this, but the music arrangements are still at a good standard. (4/5)

8. Rock Me - The B-side to 'I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do', but I think 'Rock Me' could have been a hit itself. A very chilling song. Bjorn's vocal is good and his gitar flicks are very steady. A great song. (5/5)

9. Intermezzo No 1 - Superb instrumental piece performed by the brilliant Benny. It is quite catchy in some ways and in other ways its fantastic arrangement. (4/5)

10. I've Been Waiting For You - Beautiful love ballad by Agnetha. It was a hit itself in one country for it is a soothing, romantic lovesong. Great!!! (5/5)

11. So Long - Brilliant guitar flicks in this. The girls voices are quite unusual but its very different. Cool chorus, too! (5/5)

12. Crazy World (Bonus Track) - Slow and furtile ballad sung by Bjorn. Although not an extremely clear lyric, it has a fab flow to the music. (4/5)

13. Medley: Pick A Bale Of Cotton, On Top Of Old Smokey, Midnight Special - Traditional folk songs but together in a catchy medley performed by ABBA. Became the B-side of 'Summer Night City' in late '78. (4/5)
