Editorial Reviews :
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.
Buyer Reviews :
The title says it all. Gold - Greatest Hits and every one of the hits included on this album are of the highest standard.
One of the top bands of the 70's and writers of timeless quality songs, Abba's music will surely never die and is currently being boosted further by the tribute band The A Teens which is bringing Abba's music to a new generation of listeners.
Every song included here is great and must be if nine of them topped the UK singles chart during the 70's and early 80's. As well as the number ones there are 10 other great tracks that will no doubt ring a bell to anyone dancing in the 70's. From the major hits Dancing Queen, Knowing Me Knowing You, Mamma Mia and the Eurovision Winner Waterloo to lesser known but still as good hits Does Your Mother Know, I Have A Dream and Voulez Vous this CD is sure to please.
My personal favourites are some of Abba's later hits. One Of Us is a beautiful and touching ballad, Lay All Your Love On Me is a stomping disco classic and Chiquitita which is my all time favourite Abba song as i feel it has everything required by a great pop song.
Whether you are young or old, male or female you are sure to enjoy this compilation of some of the finest music of the 70's.
