Hits compilations, comprehensive box sets, and everything in between
published September 05, 2024
As part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of ABBA's 1974 victory with Waterloo in the Eurovision Song Contest, a box set of all ABBA singles issued 1972–2022 is released 25 October 2024. Two formats are available: a double-CD and a four-vinyl box set.
The track listing is based on the English-language singles as conceived and commercially released by ABBA's record company Polar Music in Scandinavia during their first decade together, with the five singles from the 2021's Voyage album bringing the story up to the now; the last of the Voyage releases was the digital single No Doubt About It, issued in 2022.
A selection of singles not released by Polar Music in the 1972–1982 period have also been added to the track list. They are Hasta Mañana, Angeleyes (a double A-side with Voulez-Vous in some countries), Lay All Your Love On Me, and When All Is Said And Done.
I advised a bit on the track list and also contributed liner notes to this package.
The Singles – The First Fifty Years. Double-CD and four-vinyl box sets. Released October 25, 2024.
