Performer: ABBA
Distributor: Fontana Distribution Notes: Though you'd never guess it from the Maurice Sendak-inspired artwork that graces the cover of Greatest Hits: 30th Anniversary, this import collection includes all of ABBA's biggest singles up to 1976, including "Fernando," "SOS," "Mamma Mia," and "Waterloo." While this doesn't cover the group's most commercially successful years, it does act as a nice guide for those who missed out on the early part of the band's evolution. ABBA Gold or UTV's The Ultimate Collection are still the definitive collections that represent the band, but those who haven't purchased it already may want to check this out, if only for the interesting packaging. ~ Rob Theakston
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.
