Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
Anyone looking for the key to Abba's enduring appeal should look no further than "Voulez Vous" and "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" for their answer. There was an innocence to the Swedish quartet, even when they were singing about one-night stands and the invitations to them. Gold establishes that the band, while appreciated as campy, were actually multifaceted in their execution. "S.O.S." has a raw urgency in its chorus, and "Does Your Mother Know" draws its energy from classic '50s rock & roll. Likewise, you don't have to be Priscilla to swoon over "Mamma Mia" or "Dancing Queen." And when it comes to drama, those soaring vocals on "The Winner Takes It All" turn the song into a bitter anthem of every relationship that has ever fallen apart. The much-covered "Lay All Your Love on Me" is practically epic. --Steve Gdula

abba classic
This cd is a classic. It has all the abba favorites and was delivered on time and in perfect condition.
Greatest Hits indeed!!
I was born in the early 70s, so I grew up with ABBA. When Mamma Mia came out last year, I bought it, and my kids love singing along to the music. So I went in search of a good ABBA CD, and found this one. We all love listening to it in the car, it's wonderful, body-wiggling, hip-shaking music, and just tons of fun singing along to it!
ABBA-mania
Being an ABBA-holic, I'm probably a bit biased here, but depending on what ABBA CD's you already have this is a must have compilation of some of their best loved hits.
Great Music!
CD came ontime but cover was cracked and that was not mentioned when I placed order, however cd is playing great and I am happy.
Mildly satisfied
I'm not sure the songs are sung by the original AABA group, but the music sounds good.
