ABBA – The Singles (The First Ten Years)

€199,99

so I had Abba’s greatest hits 1 and 2, along with Super Trouper and the Visitors.. why would I buy this? because greatest hits has 14 songs, half of which I like, half of which is cheesy and musically childish.. I was always skipping around to avoid songs like “he is your brother”, “Nina pretty ballerina” and others that made my skin crawl.. this 2 disc set came to the rescue.. the half of greatest hits I like is all here, the cheesy stuff is not.. this compilation goes to 1982 when ABBA disbanded, so there is a little overlap between this and the previously mentioned Super Trouper and the Visitors discs.. but not much, just 3 songs from those 2, in total..

you still “need” Super Trouper and the Visitors.. songs like “happy new year”, “lay all your love on me” and “when all is said and done” are not presented here, and IMO those are necessary songs, on albums that are necessary to round out your ABBA collection.. ABBA grew a lot musically, from 1973 until the early 1980’s.. be aware that a few early cuts here sound like they were mastered from late-generation tapes (“ring ring”, in particular), but that is preferable to the brick-walled, digital-sounding comps that came out in recent years..
