Day Before You Came, The
Performer: ABBA
Distributor: Universal Distribution Notes: A massive nine-disc ABBA box set, THE ALBUMS stays true to its title, presenting all eight of the beloved Swedish pop group's studio records, from 1973's RING RING to `81's THE VISITORS. Sure to delight ABBA devotees, the bonus disc includes a selection of B-sides and non-album singles, most notably the swooning, Spanish-themed "Fernando" and the propulsive "Summer Night City."
Blender (Magazine) (p.66) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "ABBA achieved an unlikely synthesis of high-gloss Euro-schlock and vaguely gothy style, making them hugely influential on the new wave and synth-pop that followed."
Not many pop groups end up on postage stamps, as Abba has in its native Sweden; but then again, few groups become their homeland's most identifiable export. The group's stratospheric success was built on a foundation of buoyant, exquisitely arranged and produced pop music. Although they called it a day in the early 1980s, Abba lives on in the form of popular tribute bands and albums, a Broadway musical, and consistent record sales of their voluminous catalog.
