Mine too. A very poignant song.
Isn’t it just. Far less ‘pop’ sounding and commercial if you know what I mean.
Unbelievable:
Released in 1992, the record is the second biggest-seller of all time in the UK with sales of 5.61 million, only behind Queen’s Greatest Hits.
Featuring the Swedish band’s biggest songs Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia and Waterloo, it has now spent a total of 19 years and 12 weeks in the top 100.
It is the group’s biggest-selling record, eclipsing studio albums like Voulez-Vous and Arrival, which both reached number one in the 1970s.
The compilation was put together when the band’s career was being reappraised by critics. It was preceded in early 1992 by Erasure’s Abba-esque EP, which saw the synth-pop band cover four songs including Lay All Your Love On Me and SOS.
The EP charted throughout Europe and the United States, reaching number one in the UK and Sweden, signalling the lasting appeal of Abba’s music 10 years after they broke up.
However, their greatest hits albums were all out of print at the time - leading PolyGram to issue a new compilation.
Released that September, Abba Gold has been lauded as a perfectly-curated album in its own right. Pitchfork recently called it the “definitive example” of the greatest hits format, which “rounded up all of the Swedish pop band’s international smashes into a refined package with surprising emotional range”.
The album led to a resurgence of interest in the band, culminating in the hit stage show Mamma Mia!, which spawned two films starring Amanda Seyfried, Lily James, Pierce Brosnan and Meryl Streep.
Each new project has propelled Abba Gold back up the charts, and it shows no signs of slowing down - the album hasn’t left the top 100 since July 2017.
20 years …

I’ve always liked ABBA and I always will, I’ve got the gold and the follow up of more gold album/ CDs.
They won’t perform as they are because of their age and they want fans to remember them as they are. What I’ve heard of the new songs I think that they’re still great.

I liked ABBA when they first began - they were different from other groups and they certainly had/have talent - but - eventually all their stuff began to sound the same and I lost interest. Hopefully their relaunch will bring something fresh for us to enjoy.

Yes I agree…I would be interested to hear how their music has changed over the years (if any) They were pretty unique in their time.

Would have loved to have been there, saw them in Glasgow 78/79 and was blown away by them then. Fab group.

WOW, I had no idea it would be that expensive. 
From £72:
From £21:
I couldn’t find any tickets priced at £21 for any performance before the end of August. Other than that they start at £31.95 and go up to £327 each. The £450 I quoted above must have been for a hotel package.
Oh dear, I was never a fan ……. 
I like them but I wouldn’t go to see them
