Limited Edition HQ 9LP Box Set Remastered From Original Analogue Master Tapes! Limited to 4000 Copies!
The classic vinyl album is all the rage again, with more and more people across the world dusting off their turntables and replacing their worn-out needles for a return to the glory days of microgrooves and the unique feeling of a 12-inch vinyl album. So what could be more natural than making available once more the original album oeuvre of a group who attained global domination during the heyday of vinyl?
In March 2010, the members of Abba, Agnetha Faltskog, Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The group conquered the world as the most commercially successful pop group of the '70s with more than 100 million records sold worldwide in that decade alone. Abba's popularity continues to grow, due in great part to the phenomenal success of the stage and film version of 'Mamma Mia!'.
A limited edition box set containing ABBAs eight studio albums, originally released 19731981: Ring Ring, Waterloo, ABBA, Arrival, ABBA: The Album, Voulez Vous, Super Trouper and The Visitors. The box set also contains a bonus album, entitled ABBA Tracks, the A-side of which contains the five single A-sides not included on the original studio albums. The B-side of ABBA Tracks features a further five non-album songs, personally selected by ABBA's Benny Andersson.
Going back to the analogue master tapes for each individual album, as originally prepared by ABBA and their associates, the albums in the ABBA: THE VINYLS box set have been remastered for vinyl especially for this release. The track listings of the albums mirror the original Swedish releases, as originally planned and conceived by ABBA. Similarly, the eight studio albums are presented in replica covers featuring the original art work and inner sleeves exactly as they looked when they first hit record shops back in the '70s and early '80s.
