Re-released in 2008May 13, 2008 Here are the hits that didn't fit on ABBA Gold,
a few interesting ABBA album tracks, some B-sides,and one never before released track -I Am the City (recorded in 1982). This is the closest thing there is to a stand alone ABBA rarities/B-sides album.
This CD has often been out of print in various territories . The original version of this CD had liner notes by UK ABBA press officer John Tobler, but the recent remastered editions has liner notes by Carl Magnus Palm.
This album was originally going to be more of a rarities/fan request project,that would feature even more B-sides and unreleased tracks such as "Just Like That'. But instead it was decided to go with a track lineup with more familiar tracks. So sadly, only one unreleased track was included.
The previously unreleased 1982 track here, "I am the City", is not surprisingly,a perfectly good song featuring Agnetha and Frida on vocals, some worthwhile lyrics and great synthesizer work. This CD has four of ABBA's six hard to find 1982 recordings on it. The three other 1982 tracks available here are "Cassandra","Under Attack" and "The Day Before You Came".
This CD was released again in 2008 with updated liner notes.
My second taste of ABBANov 15, 2007 I'm giving this review only 4 stars instead of 5 because a few songs should have been left off because there is nothing 'great' about them.
For me, the standout tracks are THE DAY BEFORE YOU CAME, ANGELEYES, SUMMER NIGHT CITY and I abbasolutely love the lyrics on SO LONG. The bonus track was I AM THE CITY, which is pretty good. The song was recorded in 1982 for possible inclusion on their next album, which never materialized because the band broke up. This was the very first time the song had been released.

Still addicted to ABBA Jul 10, 2007 I recently attended the play MAMA MIA and was driven to find all the CD's that were still available for ABBA. I purchased this CD and can't get enough of it. I totally enjoy this group! By the way, the play was fantastic that I saw at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis, MN

Please Sir, may I have some more?Jan 04, 2007 Of course it can not possibly live up to the Abba Gold collection as that contained all their big hits, but that is not to say that you should avoid this cd. If you only know the top 10 hits of Abba then this album offers you a chance to hear some beautifully crafted songs that you may not be familiar with, but still feature the girls' lovely vocals. If you're only after the hits don't bother but if you want to discover more of the real Abba give this one a try as well.

More ABBA Gold: More ABBA Hits ~ ABBAJun 04, 2005 Bee Gees and ABBA totaly dominated the airwaves during the 70's and when one listens to their music it is easy to understand why. Both bands were so dominant compared to what all the other bands released at the time. This their second hits album is just as amazing with tracks such as angel eyes, the day before you came, under attcack, summer night cirty and many more. The day before you came is probably one of their strongest tracks they ever wrote and one can definetely sense the 80's synthpop sound that would have been part of their repoitoire if they had not broken up.
