In seemingly random order, GOLD contains fourteen of Abba's twenty American hits (the remainder are on MORE ABBA GOLD); which is to say, it contains fourteen of the most delectable pop productions of the '70s and early '80s. "Dancing Queen," "Waterloo," "Knowing Me, Knowing You" and the other landmarks of upbeat melancholy are complex concoctions--all layered harmonies and brilliant keyboard arrangements. These songs don't easily fit into any pop timeline, which may be why Abba received much of their acclaim long after breaking up. What may have seemed like Euro-pop fluff in its day, has been revealed by time to be truly classic studio pop.
The Swedish band's songs had show-tune and '60s-pop roots, skirted around the edge of disco, and were an unspoken influence on new wave. Without them, Madonna's very existence would be highly unlikely. With its Latin beat and gospel harmonies, "Lay Your Love All Over Me," one of the five songs here that didn't chart in the U.S., sounds like the very source of "Like A Prayer." Like Madonna, Abba had a grandiose vision of pop's place in the world--"who could live without it, I ask in all honesty," is how they put it in "Thank You For The Music," their Broadway-like farewell gesture. Hearing these ...

Of course, it is the group's chart hits that stand out here, and for good reason. The collection's title cut, and "Poison Arrow" (an early MTV video sensation) are near-perfect pop songs. Likewise, the lilting electro-ballad "Be Near Me," the Smokey Robinson homage "When Smokey Sings" (which appropriates the riff from "Tears of a Clown"), and the catchy bounce of "How to Be a Millionaire" push all the right pleasure buttons. A winner as both a hits collection and a comprehensive career overview, LOOK OF LOVE is the definitive ABC disc to own.
This deluxe Sound and Vision release of Look of Love: The Very Best of Abc comprises 30 tracks on double CD including all of the hits plus rare 12 inch mixes and two tracks on CD for the very first time. The DVD (PAL / Region 0) 'Absolutely Abc' includes 14 promotional videos mixed in 5.1. One of the defining acts of the early 1980's, ABC are still regarded as one of the most talented ensembles of this time and their first album The Lexicon Of Love is still thought of as a classic of the era. Included here from Lexicon are the brilliant tracks 'The Look Of Love' (UK No. 4), 'Poison Arrow' (UK No. 6) and 'Tears Are Not Enough' (UK No. 19). Other top 40 singles featured here include the Sheer Chic Mix of 'The Night You Murdered Love', 'One Better World' and 'SOS'. Often championed as the purveyors of perfect pop, ABC were formed in late 1980 by vocalist/songwriter Martin Fry and guitarist Mark ...
