LIMITED VINYL SINGLE BOX - released for 40th anniversary, NEW
ABBA The Singles features 40 vinyl singles released
1972–1982, the period when ABBA existed as a group. Out of these, 31 are the
singles planned and conceived by ABBA’s Swedish record company, Polar Music,
and issued in Sweden and/or the rest of Scandinavia: from the debut People Need
Love, through legendary hits such as Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen, Knowing Me,
Knowing You, Take A Chance On Me, Chiquitita and The Winner Takes It All, to
the final single, Under Attack. The remaining 9 singles were only released by
ABBA’s local record companies around the world.
Five of the additional singles are the German versions of Ring Ring and
Waterloo, the French version of Waterloo, and the Spanish-language versions of
Chiquitita and I Have A Dream (Spanish title: Estoy Soñando). The West German
single Honey, Honey / Ring Ring features a 1974 remix of Ring Ring, also
featured as an A-side on singles in Great Britain and Australia. The remaining
three selections are ABBA songs that have become very popular over the decades,
yet were originally only released as singles in a few countries. They are the
Portuguese ‘Happy New Year’ single; the UK 12-inch single ‘Lay All Your Love On
Me’ – presented here in 7-inch format – and the Australian release of ‘When All
Is Said And Done’.
The sleeve and label of each single in the box set are exact replicas of the
original issues. Only the 9 singles not originally released by Polar Music have
been given new Polar labels, corresponding to the design used by Polar during
the era when each single was released. The sleeves for these singles have also
been slightly modified.
