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.
