best of the early era ABBA
The early Abba sound is a little more folky and little less disco compared to their later music. Ring Ring, Abba's 1973 release, is my favorite of their first three (the other two being Waterloo and Abba). The title track is one of my all time favorite songs, it's so catchy! Other standout tracks include Another Town Another Train, People Need Love, Nina Pretty Ballerina, and He Is Your Brother. Definitely a great disc for Abba fans who already have The Album and Arrival.


Why Don't You Give Me a Call?
"Ring, Ring" has a nice pop feel to it and "Disillusion" is a meloncholy song alot which they would be known for in future releases but then there is the "rock" song. The first album released by the supergroup is really a mixed bag for me. "Rock n Roll Band" is ok but rock is not what this group was.


This is as close to nordic style as it gets for ABBA
It is a MUST for ABBA fans to understand the roots of the team. Before the went pop all the way, ABBA was a home town group and this album reflects that sound.

For me "Another Town, another Train" reminds me of life in northern Europe, where the sun goes down at 3pm in the winter and love blossoms in the spring.

Give it a good try, and after a few times you will enjoy the sound.


Disco Tunes
I've been looking for some of those songs for months. This disc contains some really good tunes not found on the regular 'Greatest Hits' type albums. One of them for years.


GREAT EARLY ABBA!
. What can I say about the ultimate Euro-pop group of the 1970s and early 1980s? If you've enjoyed this album on vinyl, you'll get a real kick out of this CD version.
