ABBA/SUPER TROUPER POLS 322 (-80) SWEDEN

 


  After posting 2500+ records here only two of them are by ABBA - "Voyage" and the UK compilation "The Singles - The First Ten Years"   https://monolover.blogspot.com/2013/01/abbathe-singles-first-ten-years-abba-10.html  . It may seem strange since they are one of the most famed and big selling acts ever, but it might have to with I'm Swedish and therefore always seen them as too obvious. I do like their singles, but never dived in to any original album, so this will be a first. It was a million seller world wide and so were the three spawned 45:s - "Super Trouper", "The Winner Takes It All" and "Happy New Year". Those three alone would be enough for love, but there's a lot more goodies going on here. I'm not all in with the over all synth sound, but do like the medieval style "The Piper", the latino "Put On Your White Sombrero" and the "Andante Andante" ballad. Listening through one have to admire the compositions, but also remember the female vocals are equally important - so controlled, yet bursting with feelings. So in spite of the often too prominent synths this has been a revarding listening and I will get in to more of their albums eventually. Issued and reissued all over the world on every possible format through the years. First Swedish had label as shown here in a fully laminated cover with hard glossy lyric/credit inner.
