 Solid Gold ... December 17, 2008
hmcni (Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland)
I purchased ABBA Gold a long time ago and was wary of More ABBA Gold because I didn't know many of the tracks as they aren't given much airtime. After seeing Mamma Mia: The Movie, however, I thought I would give it a go - especially at the low price it was on sale for! Whilst it was a bit strange hearing the original versions of the songs I heard for the first time in the movie, I was very pleased with my purchase and listened to it over and over.
Recommended for sure!

i dont think the content overall needs to be reviewed, its all classic abba and can all be found elsewhere EXCEPT for I AM THE CITY, this track is still ,as far as i know, not available anywhere else except on this album,(im not counting the COMPLETE STUDIO RECORDINGS box set,the purchase of which may necessitate a small mortgage) and i cant believe no other review has mentioned this. If you@re a fan , its the main reason to buy this album,and if your collecting all abba's recordings,it makes this essential. oh, and if you havent heard it the track is great, not one of their moving and meaningful ones but its fun,hypnotic and sparkly,;incredible arrangement and production, -i know thats kind of a given for abba- but - much more so than, for example something like YOU OWE ME ONE or even UNDER ATTACK. This was the last "new" track ever to be released (1993), its just wierd that its never turned up as a bonus track on any of the remastered original non compilation albums.

There are too many filler tracks on this album to make it a worthwhile purchase. Perversely, it's one of those tracks - Eagle - that means this collection gets two stars instead of just the one. Stick to "Gold", it's the one with all the cheesey disco on and is all you need.

I have always listened to ABBA growing up and without a single doubt they are my favourite band. Most (if not all) people think this is strange as I am 17 years old.
I first started listening to all the "classics" such as "The Winner Takes It All", "Super Trouper" etc. I then moved on to their less known stuff. This is exactly that - less known really, but unbelieveable. Some of the songs that are included on this album are amazing - why they were not bigger hits amazes me. Angeleyes, Under Attack, The Day Before You Came and I Am The City are particulary fine. The words mean a lot more in these songs and you can really feel it.
So if you are a keen ABBA fan or a fan that just wants to see the bands more mature side this is the album!!

ABBA Gold is one of the 10 most lasting albums in the UK chart history. It sold millions of copies and went platinum in numerous countries. That means that More Gold is a realistic extension and another album really worth buying. There are many, many ABBA compilations out there, but this is the one to buy. It is 11 years old now and contains some less known ABBA tracks and most of them were not issued as singles, but were less than available on CD at that time.
Tracks such as Summer Night City (top 10) and Angeleyes (top 10) should have made the GOLD compilation (although Angeleyes is not a great track), and tracks 3,5,11,14,18 also made the top 40.
As you already know, I Am the City was the only song that was exclusive to this compilation and that alone made this album worth buying (and BTW, the song is extraordinary).
The only irritating and unimportant tracks are Our Last Summer and So Long (for some), otherwise many groups would be jealous to have such records to their disposal.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention Eagle as a song that should have been releases as a single. Such a great track.
