ABBA 101. A few minor quibbles: the drastically edited version of "The Name of the Game" is used, rather than the far superior full-length album version, and the booklet does not contain the lyrics. A fine collection of ABBA's hit singles and key album tracks, along with an entertaining mix of outtakes and rarities. All in all, though, this is all the ABBA most casual fans would ever want, and is a good collector's set for the more devoted fan.
A Satisfied Customer
Service, free shipping and item price were great as well. I knew exactly what I was buying and I'm happy with the product.
AWESOME!!
If you are even a little bit of a fan of the ABBA music, you will LOVE this set!! The music on the first 3 is of course amazing, even a few songs I had never heard before! The 4th disc of never-before released and demos is interesting. . . not amazing, but good! But to top it all off is a beautiful color booklet inside the case detailing the band's beginnings, how they met, their whole story!! It is very interesting to read!!! I am SOOOO glad I got this!! AND it is SOOO much cheaper on Amazon, I checked MANY, MANY places online AND in stores, and Amazon has the LOWEST price, including shipping!!! For any fan of Abba, this is a MUST-HAVE! .
Worth Buying for Just a Few Rare Tracks...
Never mind that buying this item means acquiring songs one already has; it is the the above mentioned rare stuff that is worth the price of admission. The best part of this collection is the rare, previously unavailable tracks. Disc 4, Track 8, Medley, Pick a Bale of Cotton, On Top of Old Smokey, and Midnight Special are interesting. Whoever heard of ABBA singing a CCR song? And Track 11 on the same disc, ABBA Undeleted, in which they're "jamming" is a lot of fun, because it is so informal and spontaneous.
Now, if only Agnetha Faltskog's early career German language recordings would once again be available. . . .
Great Music!!!
It brings me back to my childhood days where ABBA songs were played over the radio on a daily basis. I enjoyed all of the music in this CD. It is good to know that I finally found and have the ABBA CD that I like!!!.
