good, but missing some things
They had the right idea when putting together this collection, but a few songs were left out. I have most of these songs on cd already, but as one reviewer said, this is a good collection. Slipping through my fingers is one example. Agnetha has a beautiful voice on that song, and I personally like her more than Frida.
Anyway, a good collection for the casual listener, or just go see Mamma Mia. You'll get all these songs that way, as well.


I like Abba,I do i do i do ido i do
Some of the songs i remember from those days were S. I can recall this band when i was a child having alot of hits. O. S. and Waterloo. My mum bought some of their albums and i just loved a heap of their songs. By the late 70's i started ignoring them as they got so much attention by the media. But i still liked alot of their tunes. Radio stations seemed to ignore this band alot in the 80's here. But i heard some of their songs and after so many years of not hearing them they sounded damn good,so i went and got a few albums. This was 1989 and i got right into them again. I always hoped this band would get back together,but the news is that they will not. Thats a shame,but there is so much music to reflect on. Every now and then i play their songs,Some of my favorites are the 2 i mentioned and Honey Honey,I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do ,Mamma Mia ,Fernando ,Ring Ring ,The Winner Takes It All ,Under Attack and Thank You For The Music. There is also a stack of other songs i like. This is a good collection of their songs.

ABBA GOLD
Dont just listen to the well-known super hits, give an ear to the lesser-known beauties. You all know ABBA, and this CD of theirs is, pure gold. Dont fear to buy---you will love this soft rock CD. I surely did.


Super-great and "Must Have."
I really enjoyed listening to this set. I was amazed at the excellence of some of these songs. It's great to take a close listen to this group since some of their stuff is amazing. I find that the songs I recognized from USA radio play were a large notch better than the rest of the stuff on the CDs as a general rule. I did not enjoy CD2 near as much but maybe I need to listen several more times.

Somebody amongst the three songwriters is an excellent poet because the lyrics on at least "The Winner Takes It all," "Fernando," and "The Day Before You Came" are great. "The Day Before You Came" (CD2) is 5 minutes and 45 seconds of unique lyrics, and interesting to try and interpret. I guess that one song is worth the price of CD2.

The "radio play" songs feature excellent drums and the bass player is good 'n' funky with great stuff.

My CD has the 4 signatures in gold on the back cover and I notice the signatures are engraved in the paper as if someone had actually signed them rather than just printed. Could that be?.


Thank Heaven For The Music!!
"You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life. . Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen" From the first, this double set captures you. Totally. Almost all the best ABBA songs are on these CDs. For example: Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen, The Winner Takes It All, On & On & On, Our Last Summer, Money, Money, Money, Chiquitita, and Waterloo, just to name a few. Not all the best are here, but its pretty close. I got this CD only a few months ago, and I am one of the biggest ABBA fans you'll find. Agnetha, Björn, Benny, and Frida have the greatest voices you'll ever hear. Get this set, or at least get "ABBA Gold", the first set, and you will be happy. Thank you for the music. Kirk out.
