The digital remastering on this CD is amazing, and ABBA sounds shiny and new and vibrant all over again!On the other hand, if Amazon still has THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION on sale for $9.99, pick that up instead.

LONG LIVE ABBA! 19 of 20 people found the following review helpful By PEPE "ABBAFANUSA" (Long Beach, California) - See all my reviews This review is from: Number Ones (Audio CD) Once again Univeral Music is milking the ABBA cash cow. With the world wide MEGA success of 'ABBA GOLD' why on earth is this compilation needed? With that said, the ONLY territory possibly needing this CD is the USA. Why?

If you were to believe the statistics, the Swedish Super-group has sold more than 360 million units worldwide, making them one of the biggest selling acts in the history of popular music trailing behind The Beatles and Elvis Presley. It should not come as a surprise that this compilation was released even though there are several others available that already showcase the talents of this lovable foursome. There's the 20th Century Masters collection (CD) featuring ABBA which was certified Gold in the US, "The Definitive Collection" (CD and DVD) and the most popular of them all "ABBA GOLD: Greatest Hits" (CD and DVD) which was certified 6 x platinum in the US and has sales of over 25 million world-wide. So what is the point of this new release titled "ABBA Number Ones" which like their previous compilations have been released in... Read more |
