This new box set features each of Abba’s records on colored vinyl, and with replica LP artwork.
Included in ABBA: The Studio Albums are:
Ring Ring (1973; red vinyl)
ABBA’s debut album, Ring Ring, hit No.2 in the group’s homeland and entered the Top 10 in Australia and Norway. With the title track topping the charts at home, it helped set the template for the run of hits that would soon follow.
Waterloo (1974; orange vinyl)
With their breakthrough appearance at the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest, ABBA became global stars. ‘Waterloo,’ the song, topped charts around the world, setting the stage for its parent album to become the group’s first out-and-out classic. Its second single, “Honey, Honey,” remains a true fan favourite, thanks to its latter-day use in the Mamma Mia! musical.
ABBA (1975; silver vinyl)
“SOS” and “Mamma Mia” remain the album’s timeless classics while “I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do” was infectious enough to top the charts in Australia and New Zealand. With nods towards classical music (“Intermezzo No.1 (Instrumental)”) and reggae (“Tropical Loveland”), ABBA found the four-piece continuing to stretch themselves artistically.
Arrival (1976; white vinyl)
The success of “Dancing Queen” topped the charts around the world – becoming the group’s first US No.1 in the process – while “Money, Money, Money” and “Knowing Me, Knowing You” added to the pile of classics the group were now turning out.
ABBA – The Album (1977; green vinyl)
The album mixed ambitious theatricality with a pop sensibility, not least on “Thank You For The Music,” a song that was part of the ambitious mini-musical, The Girl With The Golden Hair, that ABBA treated audiences to during their 1977 live shows.
Voulez-Vous (1979; blue vinyl)
With no fewer than five hit singles (“Chiquitita,” “Does Your Mother Know,” “Angeleyes,” “Voulez-Vous” and “I Have A Dream”), it remains one of the band’s most successful albums – and the one that finally saw the group tour the US.
Super Trouper (1980; gold vinyl)
“The Winner Takes It All” was a heart-rending ballad that would gain deeper meaning in the years to follow, while the album’s title track marked the peak of ABBA’s latter-day Europop sound.
The Visitors (1981; yellow vinyl)
Even as personal turmoil surrounded them, Benny, Björn, Agnetha and Frida were in perfect creative harmony on songs like “One Of Us” and “When All Is Said And Done.”
