ABBA Album: “Singles: The First Ten Years”

The album was a 1982 summing up of the many hits ABBA had scored in the previous decade. The title implies that there would be a second 10 years, that this Swedish band was just getting started. That was not the case. The 4 member; Agnetha, Benny, Bjorn and Frida were changing. They were beginning to look middle age. So at the end of '82, ABBA went separate ways, destined to indulge themselves in solo projects from then on. Under Attack and The Day Before You Came are part of this album. The Day Before You Came was the last song ABBA recorded in August, 1982.

There is no doubt about this band,musicly and visually they captured the hearts of anyone who heard or saw them.They were extremely popular in the 70's,and their music today is loved by people from all over the world.

I can recall this band when i was a child having alot of hits.Some of the songs i remember from those days were S.O.S. and Waterloo.My mum bought some of their albums and i just loved a heap of their songs.By the late 70's i started ignoring them as they got so much attention by the media.But i still liked alot of their tunes.Radio stations seemed to ignore this band alot in the 80's here.But i heard some of their songs and after so many years of not hearing them they sounded damn good,so i went and got a few albums,this was one of them.This was 1989 and i got right into them again.I always hoped this band would get back together,but the news is that they will not.Thats a shame,but there is so much music to reflect on.Every now and then i play their songs,Some of my favorites are the 2 i mentioned and Honey Honey,I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do ,Mamma Mia ,Fernando ,Ring Ring ,The Winner Takes It All ,Under Attack and Thank You For The Music.There is also a stack of other songs i like.This is a good collection of their songs.

I was very happy to have finally purchased this rare long out-of-print CD which is officially the last album ABBA released while they were still a group. This is a must-have for any ABBA fan, a compilation of 23 hit singles released from 1972-82.

ABBA es todo lo mejor en POP o parte de el que nace en los 70's, una formula de 4 que se repitió igual que los Beatles, Los Sencillos 10 Años de ABBA es prácticamente el ultimo trabajo discográfico del grupo con el se termina la era ABBA, hoy en día es difícil de conseguir en buen estado, 2 CDs con los temas mas representativos del grupo, un set indiscutiblemente necesario en la colección de un FAN del grupo.
