Title: Lots to love, small pressing issue
Review: It's great that ABBA, one of the most beloved hit makers of all time released this epic vinyl box set spanning their entire career including the singles from the 2021 album, Voyage. These tracks are truly the best from all their albums with remastering done at Abbey Road Studios. Despite it being printed on regular vinyl, the sound is generally really good with the albums held in paper sleeves (a bit disappointing) but with plastic, static resistant interiors. Big full clear sound. Accompanying the hard cover well assembled booklet full of photos and a brief synopsis of ABBA and the singles over the years, something doubtful that can be appreciated in the CD or streaming editions. So why 4 stars? A small quibble, but I noticed there's what seems to be something like a tiny tick or some noise in between each track on Record 3, Side A. It doesn't seem to have any other defects especially when the music is playing. I'm unclear if this is just a one off pressing issue or if others might find the same problem. But that aside, it's a beautiful musical edition of a timeless band.

Title: A Great (Not Grand) Collection
Review: The ABBA renaissance has thrived for four years, with the Voyage show, new album, and reissuesâa treat for fans! Updating 1982's The Singles - The First 10 Years to The Singles - The First 50 Years is clever, but there are a few drawbacks. While early singles were added, omitting "The Visitors" feels like sacrilege. The cover art choice is bland compared to the 1982 original, and including so many Voyage tracks feels a bit lazy, as it's a stretch to say all were true singles. Still, it's a fun, essential additionâjust shy of 5 stars, but a must-have!

Title: They Shipped the Asian Version!
Review: I love ABBA and preordered this some weeks ago. It arrived a couple days ago, and while I LOVE the music and the little boxed set, when I loaded it into my PC and uploaded it to Windows Media Player, it populated each song track (with the exception of 2 or 3), with what appears to be Japanese or Chinese song titles. Is there any way Amazon can send me a set where the meta data populates the song titles in English???

Title: Repetitive & Did You Know?
Review: The only reason I can think of for buying this set, it that it contains five new songs (singles) from Voyager. Mind you, ABBA has released 2 Live Albums, 4 Box Sets, 12 Best ofâs and 28 Compilation Albums. Thatâs a lot of repetition.USA: Only one #1 hit (âDancing Queenâ) and âMama Miaâ went to 32 and âLay All Your Love On Meâ did not even chart. They did have 15 songs in the Top 20, but the last five singles from Voyager did not chart. No matter â itâs all quantity.Regardless, it was disappointing to see that this is NOT a Remastered set. What a missed opportunity! Even an SACD or a Multi-Channel mix would have been welcome.If you are new to ABBA and donât contain much of their music, this 2-disc set might satisfy.

Review: Received this Tuesday, listen to it today Thursday. Unlike some reviews, it is nice to have all their singles in one place and in order, in which to listen how they evolved during the first 10 years and then again in 2022. Till I listened to the last side and the singles from Voyage, did I realise how much I liked them as for me listening to them and enjoying this last side the most. A considered purchase I agree, but worth it. Highly recommended.

Review: Diese wirklich groÃartig gestaltete LP-Box ist wunderschön und die Qualität der Pressung ist endlich einmal bemerkenswert gut. Die Musik von ABBA ist immer eine Freude und das Begleitheft gefällt mir ebenfalls richtig gut. Allerdings ist die CD Version auch nicht schlecht. Die gab es zwar so ähnlich, ohne die Lieder aus ABBA Voyage schon vor 23 Jahren als Definitive Collection und vor 12 Jahren als Essential Collection aber damals nur als CD. Egal wie oft das gleiche Material verkauft wird, freut sich der Fan! Die High Resolution Audio Version auf z.B. Qobuz.de ist diesmal der echte Audio-Burner!
