They keep releasing "remastered" or "repackaged" versions of ABBA end quote that bugged me about Abba even back in the 70s they were releasing "best of albums " mixing up tracks just to confuse everyone and jack up the sales. The Beatles never did that, they just went from album to new album, they did n't mess around. |

I know this is slightly off thread, but this is an amazing extended version of Lay all Your Love on Me-never actually released but only used as a club promo for DJs back in 1981.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3ECx...eature=related Im amazed that this has since has never been released commercially because it is quite sought after. I had a very poor quality MP3 once but it was'nt worth the bother to get it Couldn't hear the track very well. Perhaps whichever label now publishes ABBA could do the honour once and for all? |

I've actually got 3 CD's called 'From Sweden With Love' which are full of extended remixes of a lot of their tracks............ it's really interesting. Some tracks sound better, some don't. But it has remixes of 'Just Like That' & 'I Am The City' also

Abba, did some great songs. Liked a few of them. Loved Dancing Queen especially, as appropriate for all music lovers. Esp people like myself who like anything from ballads, to death metal, and are defo not 17.

benny and bjorn are probably pops second best songwriters (behind lennon/mccartney), end quote but did John and Paul really write any song as brilliant as this one ? Awesome song.... or is it a hymn ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCfr9pJ4JJA Quote:
The Beatles never ever won the Eurovision Song contest
but Abba did win it and Brotherhood of Man won it too go here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bKAPVpA46o Bro of Man were really England's answer to Abba, the same line up, two guys, a blonde and a brunette Bro of Man have even outlasted Abba and are still going ! as for brotherhood of man.... they were going long before their 1976 win, and were re-packaged for it... but apart from them being a direct copy of abbas format, bore no resemblance to them. bom were a manufactured pop act, not a self driven entity that abba were... |

Haven't The Beatles sold a million records worldwide? I'm a huge Abba fan but their sales are nowhere near that. They'll never reach The Beatles sales.
Don't know about Beatles but ABBA have sold 375 million records worldwide. Personally I prefer ABBA but recognise that The Betles were more talented and far more willing to take risks musically. |

it was a bootleg collection. there is no official remix album.
![]() ![]() I am amazed that there are so many authorised remixes of ABBA and other acts, MJ and Madonna for example, which have never been made commercially available but where used in the clubs as dance mixes. Unless there is some licencing issue, it seems the labels are missing a golden opportunity to sell more music. There used to be so many blogs on line where you could find sought after tracks and remixes, but they have all been closed down. Talk about making life difficult for fans. |

On checking the ABBA singles releases, it looks like they actually called it a day when the public got bored of them when thier last few singles failed to get above No 25 back in 82. Check this site out http://www.everyhit.com/searchsec.php
The link aint working right, but do a search on ABBA single releases |

The link aint working right, but do a search on ABBA single releases the second divorce in 1981 was another factor. along with andersson/ulvaeus wanting to break into musical theatre, the girls also had solo ambitions. |
