ABBA Vinyl Box to Make Fans Dance, Jive, Have Time of Lives

If the previously-reported expansion of ABBA's best-selling ABBA Gold compilation with a bonus DVD hasn't excited your inner dancing queen, here's another collectible that might pique your interest: the same day (tomorrow in the U.S.), Polydor and UMe are releasing ABBA: The Vinyl Collection, a newly-remastered box set.

The set contains nine records in total: the first eight are all the ABBA studio albums internationally released by Polar from 1973 to 1981, and the final disc is ABBA Tracks, a collection of ten notable non-album tracks (including three non-LP singles, four B-sides, two compilation tracks and one box set outtake). The whole thing comes in a deluxe box with a nicely put-together booklet featuring in-depth liner notes.

You can order the set here and view the track list after the jump.

Mike Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he was a teenager. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.
