Album Details: 24-bit digitally remastered digipak edition with extensive liner notes, lyrics and includes two bonus songs: 'Elaine' and 'Put on Your White Sombrero'.
Amazon.com: Super Trouper is generally considered Abba's finest album. The overheated disco flourishes of Voulez-Vous were dropped and the sequencing was very nearly perfect. What's more, silly lyrics metamorphose into things of wrenching beauty. The overall tone is rather somber--the unraveling of the band members' relationships underscores every track--but as usual Abba turn melancholy into uplifting pop music. This digipack version of the 1981 album includes two extra songs. 'Put on Your White Sombrero' was recorded during the Super Trouper sessions but was replaced on the album by the title track; it's in the band's Spanish vein and comes with a throbbing synthesizer hook. 'Elaine,' meanwhile, was the B-side of 'The Winner Takes It All' single. An uptempo number, 'Elaine' is far from being a throwaway. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Rating: - ABBA Super Trouper
Super Trouper is considered by many to be ABBA's best album. By 1980, ABBA's lyrics had become highly personal as evidenced by their number 1 hit The Winner Takes It All. I like The Piper, a relatively unknown song. It shows the power of music over an audience. Is Napoleon the piper? Is the piper the spirit of music which ABBA is following? That the piper seduced everybody suggests that he may not be so nice. Sweden stayed out of World War II. Norway, Frida's home land, was overrun by the Germans. In which case, we might think of the piper as Adolf Hitler. The fire in his eyes! We have all seen tapes of Hitler's harangues at Nazi rallies. Weapons of fear were Communism, the Jews and the specter of depression haunting the world in the 1930s. Such horrors were something baby boomers found hard to fathom. The Piper is a classic piece.
Rating: - ABBA's Break-Up Album
ABBA - Super Trouper (1980) Named for a stage spotlight, this is a great album ... but has some of the melancholy of relationships breaking up. ABBA only produced one other studio album (The Visitors) after this.
Some of their early disco can be found here (On & On & On), but there are other great styles as well.
