The Only Box Set Worth Buying
"I titled my review The Only Box Set Worth Buying because box sets are pretty expensive and when you shed out the dough, you want to be worthwhile. But with ABBA, it's guaranteed to be worthwhile. This box set contains all the ABBA hits and B-Sides. For t
CD 1:
This is ABBA in their early years. It includes their first single : People Need Love which is very catchy. Three songs that surprised me on this CD are He Is Your Brother, Hasta Manana and Dance (While The Music Still Goes On) which are really good. And of course you have all the disco-pop hits : Waterloo, S.O.S., Mamma Mia, Fernando and Dancing Queen. My favorite song on this CD is That's Me.
CD 2:
This CD contains mostly Disco songs such as Knowing Me, Knowing You, Take A Chance On Me, Does Your Mother Know, Voulez-Vous, Angel Eyes, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! and I Have A Dream. It also has the song Happy Hawaii which was never published on an album but only as a b-side to Knowing Me, Knowing You and the BEST track of the CD and of the ENTIRE BOX SET has to be the previously unreleased full-length version of Summer Night City, a song that truly captures the ABBA spirit.
CD 3:
This CD exposes the years of the Super Trouper and The Visitors albums. The latter going almost completely against ABBA's style of pure pop is quite interesting. Cherished hits also appear on this one like: The Winner Takes It All, Super Trouper, Lay All Your Love On Me, Our Last Summer, One Of Us and Head Over Heels. However, ABBA started to expose their darker side with songs such as : The Visitors, When All Is Said And Done, Like An Angel Passing Through My Room, Under Attack and The Day Before You Came. On this CD, I have four equally favorite songs : Elaine, The Day Before You Came, Cassandra and Under Attack.
CD 4:
This CD consists of B-Sides, the collector's treat on this box set. Some songs turned out to be really good like : Dream World, Thank You For The Music(alternate version), Merry-Go-Round, Pick A Bale Of Cotton/On Top Of Old Smokey/Midnight Special, You Owe Me One and Slipping Through My Fingers/Me And I (Live). But other songs like Hej Gamle Man were just not necessary and Abba Undeleted, which may be a treat for some isn't really that much of a treasure (23 minutes of track that didn't make it to the albums and studio footage). On the plus side, I like their singing in different languages but couldn't they have put the whole Waterloo French version and the whole Waterloo Swedish version instead of a medley, same goes for Ring Ring. This is one of the reasons why I bought ABBA Oro. My favorite song on this CD is You Owe Me One, a poppish song that reminds me of Me And I on the Super Trouper album.
Well, that sums it up. Pretty much all the songs are good, except for a few on CD 4 and I think that buying this box set is money well spent. 4 CDs, 66 tracks, 4 and 1/2 hours of golden music. Who can beat that!
In my mind, ABBA are the greatest entertainers of all time, so do yourself a favor, buy Thank You For The Music!"

Thank You for the Music
Amazon Price: $37.47 (as of 11/29/2009)
"ABBA. One of those groups considered guilty pleasures by many. Why? Listen to the music. Their voices frequently blended better than the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The arrangements were appropriate and often quite inventive. The music and lyrics were infectious and sometimes deceptively dark and challenging. There was their wardrobe, but nobody's perfect.
This set showcases many of the reasons that ABBA has both retained their original fans and made an impressive number of new ones in recent years. Quite simply, these are gifted musicians who have an obvious love of what they do. Let not any serious music lover ever apologize again for an affinity for this Swedish supergroup.
As for the music, two complaints. One, a few of the songs appear in edited form, compared to those on the original albums. And two, not enough of them are included (yes, I realize it's a 4-disc set and that the discs are crammed with material, but this is ABBA). Another disc or two could be filled with perhaps lesser-known, but equally essential tunes like "As Good As New" (from VOULEZ-VOUS), "Andante, Andante" (SUPER TROUPER), and "Tiger" (ARRIVAL). Oh, well. Maybe there will be a THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC, VOLUME 2.
Those minor flaws notwithstanding, this is a wonderful collection. If you remember ABBA, this will be like a visit with a few old friends. If you don't, be prepared to make some new ones. And no apologies."
