Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential recording:
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. --Steve Gdula

- A Prospector's Cache
Across the fjords of Norway and the vast stretches of arctic splendor and wasteland, I came upon a pole resembling the archetypal North Pole, much like those found in scenes often seen in stories and pictures. Upon close inspection, I found a set of destination markers protruding from it on all sides done in red letters on white backgrounds.

In words written in (undoubtedly) Swedish, Spanish, Dutch (?), and English, one marker pointed to Helsinki, another to Reykjavik, Iceland, and yet another to Oslo. Walking around the pole, I found still other markers: one pointing (undoubtedly) southwest was written "Lake Woebegon, MN". One slightly askew to it, pointing slightly more west, was written: "Women's Norwegian Volleyball Team, California, U.S.A". I had to smile at that one. Memories of Louis Anderson and Garrison Keillor came flooding into my memory as I mused upon the markers.

- ABBA Gold - really great!
After I saw "Mamma Mia" in the theater, I remembered how much I liked ABBA songs, so I immediately ordered ABBA Gold. The CD came within a few days, and I have been playing it ever since. It has all the songs I love, and the quality is outstanding. I was also very pleased with the prompt delivery.

This is another digitally re-mastered ABBA CD and it sounds great. It brings back a lot of good memories too. I am glad I bought it. Five stars.
