Abba – Greatest Hits (not to be confused with “Abba Gold”)
1976 (original release)
2006 (reissue)

I wanted to buy Abba Gold for Lise for a birthday or Christmas, but the record store didn’t have any copies in stock. Naturally I figured a “Greatest Hits” would be a safe enough second bet. Wrong.
There are certainly a few tracks that save this album, which are genuine Abba greats, and the sound quality is lovely, but if you’re wanting Abba’s “true” Greatest Hits, go for Abba Gold.
Standout tracks are Fernando, SOS, Ring Ring, Mamma Mia and Waterloo (there are a few other classic Abba tracks in there, but for me none worth mentioning)
