Nice to see someone else who loves ABBA. My mum gave me her vintage gatefold greatest hits vinyl, so it's a very nice addition to my vinyls. I also bought the digi-pac remastered version of Uriah Heep's 'Very eavy, very umble' album from 1970. A really excelent album next to Deep Purple's almighty 'In Rock' album also from the same year.

Yeah, ABBA was very much a part of my childhood and I still love them today. It's funny... The Beatles were too, and while they were my be-all-end-all of artists for a long time, they've fallen for me quite a bit. ABBA has always managed to have a foothold in my life. Love them.

Funny, too - one reviewer from 1970 said "If this group makes it, I shall have to commit suicide." To be fair, "Gypsy" is the only standout IMO but the rest of the album isn't bad. It's also the only one I've heard in full; really need to finish the discography listen I was planning. :D
