Offered for sale is a very rare ABBA CD. This is
the original Swedish CD pressing of their breakthrough 2nd album
‘Waterloo’, which was the very first release of this album on CD anywhere in
the world. It is also the only one that follows the original Swedish LP, which
opens with the Swedish language version of ‘Waterloo’ and omits ‘Ring Ring’.
Please see the pictures for the tracklisting. There is also no barcode, which
was present on later releases.
This CD release also features a cover that matches
the original LP artwork. In fact the track numbers and references to ‘Sides’
that were present on the original LP have been covered over in yellow by the
graphic designer. Please note that is part of the design – the booklet has not
been drawn on.
The CD itself is in good condition for its age.
There are a few light surface marks and light scratches, but nothing major and
it plays fine.
The booklet and insert are good for their age. The
jewel case is showing light signs of wear but is generally good too.
All in all, this is a nice example of this unique,
out-of-print album on CD, which has plenty of life left in it for a collector
or fan.
Please feel free to ask any questions, and please
take a look at my other items – including many other CDs. Where possible, I’m
happy to combine postage for multiple purchases.
