ABBA: THE VINYLS

by disco on January 2, 2011

Abba The VinylsABBA: THE VINYLS is a limited edition box set containing ABBA’s eight studio albums, originally released 1973–1981: Ring RingWaterlooABBAArrivalABBA: The AlbumVoulez 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  Benny Andersson.

Rumor has it the group is thinking of going back to singing together.  “A meeting for a single occasion for charity is something that I think, we should all consider” said Agnetha Faeltskog, one of four members of the Swedish group.

For the singer “will be difficult to get back together for a tour as did the Rolling Stones and other old bands, but I think we could go do something together in the future. ” The last public appearance of the group dates back to 1982 Christmas show at the BBC.

The end was caused by infighting between band members. Now the disagreements seem to have smoothed out, and there are conditions for the expected return. The last occasion when the four appeared together was in July 2008 to the first, in Stockholm, for the film Mamma Mia! with Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth. Its been 22 years that Abba were not photographed together.

ABBA – THE VINYL COLLECTION also contains a 52-page full-color timeline booklet featuring album content details, rare memorabilia, recording paraphernalia and photographs.
