Limited Edition: 20,000 Worldwide

This is a rerelease of a box set issued in Germany in 1982, I think. At least that is where the idea came from. This is as much a collectable as anything else. But it's a kick to look back at the single covers and see how much we (and Abba) changed over the years. If you buy this, do me (and you) a favor and also invest in the "From Waterloo to Dumela" CD of the tribute concert in Sweden. It's a great album and will give you an appreciation for how the music holds up over time as well as what Benny and Bjorn have been up to since.

more than just a bunch of singles...

more than just a bunch of singles lumped in one tin box, this set chronicles how the songwriting of benny and bjorn evolved from the carefree people need love to the funereal the day before you came. from its tacky costumes (check out the sleeves) in the beginning to the ultra chic look in the end. how love brought about the group's spectular rise and how the end of it led to,what a lot say, a untimely demise. trivia aside,the singles contained herein ARE HITS! charting an average of 2 countries per single...from the first to the very last.not bad for a group whose mother tounge IS NOT english!

more than just a collection of hits

more than just a tin box (or a cardboard box...depending on your choice) of their singles on cd format, this set chronicles the musical development of abba, from the carefree days of people need love to the introspective the day before you came.on a less than happy note, this also shows a band that was at first trying to define its sound to its creative peak (circa the visitors) to one that,due to the respective divorces of the its members, has in creative terms , ran out of gas.nonetheless, these singles by the way ARE certified hits, charting at least an average of 2 countries per single. not bad at all for a group whose mother tounge IS NOT english.
