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 :
My sister played her Abba records when we were kids and I enjoyed them. As an adult, I liked the music but didn't pay much attention to it. Now with a resurgence of interest in ABBA with the ... covering ABBA songs, and the delightful show, 'Mamma Mia' making its rounds across country, my interest peaked again...only this time making me realize what most of their fans already know. They made really good songs that stand up well. I went out recently and bought the cd and I've been playing it in my cd player ever since. From 'Dancing Queen' and 'Mamma Mia' to 'Take a Chance on Me' and 'Chicquitita', I'm hooked. This collection is 19 of their best known songs and worth having in your cd collection. If you don't have it, do yourself a favor and get it. And if 'Mamma Mia', the broadway touring show, rolls into town, don't miss it. Long live ABBA!!
