Anyone looking for the key to Abba's enduring appeal should look no further than "Voulez Vous" and "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" for their answer. There was an innocence to the Swedish quartet, even when they were singing about one-night stands and the invitations to them. Gold establishes that the band, while appreciated as campy, were actually multifaceted in their execution. "S.O.S." has a raw urgency in its chorus, and "Does Your Mother Know" draws its energy from classic '50s rock & roll. Likewise, you don't have to be Priscilla to swoon over "Mamma Mia" or "Dancing Queen." And when it comes to drama, those soaring vocals on "The Winner Takes It All" turn the song into a bitter anthem of every relationship that has ever fallen apart. The much-covered "Lay All Your Love on Me" is practically epic. --Steve Gdula

Summary: Excellent Purchase!
Comment: I purchased this as a gift for my husband as he has been a huge ABBA fan for years. He had various tapes with the songs on this CD but over the years they had become degraded and did not sound very good, and some did not play at all. He was so surprised and happy to receive the ABBA-Gold Greatest Hits CD, and even more surprised at the quality and sound compared to the old tapes.

Thanks Amazon.com for the excellent service and quality!

Summary: "Abba Gold"
Comment: I bought this and Mamma Mia and love both versions. The cost on this was amazingly reasonable that I could not resist ordering it even though I have Mamma Mia.

Comment: Great music! After seeing the movie Mamma Mia had to find a cd and this one contains all the songs from the movie. "Feel good" music makes you turn the cd player up and sign as loud as you can!

Summary: Still a dancing queen who is tone deaf
Comment: My sisters and I loved ABBA from the day we heard their first song. Funny, our Parents did also. It is happy music and it makes me want to get up and dance (great exercise) and sing (yes, I am tone deaf but who cares!) I bought the ABBA Gold when it came out and I am still playing it, never tiring of the music. Listen to the music and you might feel the same way. Get up and dance like the dancing queen or king that you are and feel good to music that is not busy making a statement. Good fun - that is what we all need and how long has it been since you have had plain old good fun? Enjoy!
