| | ABBA Thank You For The Music CD ABBA Discography of CDs
(3 Customer Reviews)
THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC contains 3 discs of previously released material and a fourth disc of demos and live recordings.
Additional personnel includes: Lasse Wellander, Finn Sjober, Janne Schaffer, Michael Arkelew (guitar); Raphael Ravenscroft (saxophone); Rutger Gunnarsson, Mike Watson (bass); Ola Bunkert, Roger Palm, Rolf Alex, Per Lindwall (drums); Malando Gassamma, Ake Sundquist (percussion).
Recorded between 1973 & 1982. Includes a 66-page booklet with photographs, a discography and liner notes by Stig Anderson, Fred Bronson, John Tobler and Denis McNamara.
Released at the height of ABBA's mid-'90s renaissance, when the Swedish foursome became fashionable again after years of critical and commercial neglect (thanks in part to films such as Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and Muriel's Wedding), THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC is a four-CD treasure trove of hits and obscurities. The fact that the fourth and final disc consists entirely of rare and unreleased gems should entice those who still own the band's original releases.
The first three discs--52 tracks in all--consolidate all of the group's chart-topping singles, adding the best of their album tracks and a handful of live recordings and alternate mixes. Disc four is an intriguing collection of demos, outtakes, and multi-lingual versions of popular singles. Exquisitely packaged and well annotated, THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC shows why ABBA is considered by many the pinnacle of '70s commercial pop.
ABBA: Bjorn Ulvaeus (vocals, guitar); Benny Andersson (vocals, keyboards); Anni-Frid Lingstad, Agnetha Falksog (vocals).
Producer: Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson.
Compilation producer: Chris Griffin.
4 CdsRolling Stone (8/10/95, p.60) - "...does much to counter the notion that Abba's output was all light-weight pop..." Entertainment Weekly (4/21/95, p.57) - "...The second greatest-hits collection in as many years out-distances GOLD by almost 50 tracks. What rescues this set from being a mountain of Velveeta is a groovilicious disc of unreleased and obscure B sides reaffirming the Fernando-loving Swedes' place in the pop music firmament. Fabbalous..." - Rating: A Thank You For The Music Music | List Price | $59.98 (You save $21.29) | | Category | Rock Albums, Pop CDs, Rock/Pop, Synth Pop, Box Sets | | Label | Polydor | | Orig Year | 1995 | | All Time Sales Rank | 12331  | | CD Universe Part number | 1055587 | | Catalog number | 523472 | | Discs | 4 | | Release Date | Apr 18, 1995 | | Studio/Live | Mixed | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Personnel | Raphael Ravenscroft, Ola Brunkert, Janne Schaffer, Lasse Wellander, Mike Watson, Per Lindvall, Roger Palm, Ake Sundqvist, Malando Gassama, Rolf Alex, Finn Sjober, Michael Arkelew | | Additional Info | Box Set |
