Rating: - ABBA Gold - really great!After I saw "Mamma Mia" in the theater, I remembered how much I liked ABBA songs, so I immediately ordered ABBA Gold. The CD came within a few days, and I have been playing it ever since. It has all the songs I love, and the quality is outstanding. I was also very pleased with the prompt delivery. Rating: - BobbyThis is another digitally re-mastered ABBA CD and it sounds great. It brings back a lot of good memories too. I am glad I bought it. Five stars. |
