After my last op on "ABBA - Gold" I thought that I'd better write an op about its sister album "More ABBA Gold".
I originally bought both albums at the same time in HMV. It was a buy one, get the other one for a couple of pounds type of deal, and although I wouldn't have bought this album normally, I thought "Why not?" and coughed up the extra couple of quid.
"More ABBA Gold" was released after the huge success of "ABBA Gold". The only problem was that they had put all of the best known songs onto the first album, which in turn meant that this album didn't generate anywhere like the number of sales that "Gold" did. The album itself contains a lot of good ABBA songs, and to be honest a lot of them are better than the ones on "ABBA Gold". Unfortunately, because it doesn't contain any of the songs that I know and love, it rarely gets played.
The songs on this album are in general a lot slower and more melencholy than the ones on "Gold", and are very moving at times. Looking at the booklets for both albums, you can see that the songs on this album are, in general, later than those on "ABBA Gold", which leads to a far more grown up feeling album.
The tracks that you get on the album are:
1: Summer Night City 2: Angeleyes 3: The Day Before You Came 4: Eagle 5: I Do. I Do. I Do. I Do. I Do. 6: So Long 7: Honey Honey 8: The Visitors 9: Our Last Summer 10: On & On & On 11: Ring Ring 12: I Wonder (Departure) 13: Lovelight 14: Head Over Heels 15: When I Kissed The Teacher 16: I Am The City 17: Cassandra 18: Under Attack 19: When All Is Said And Done 20: The Way Old Friends Do
The album weighs in at just over 1 hour and 13 minutes.
My only really problem with this album (and with ABBA in general) is their insistence on using repeated words in their song titles. It just really gets on my wick.
When all is said and done, this is a good album, and I should listen to it more often.
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
this is very unhelpful as it has all the great abba tunes- this disappoints me

Great opinion... I'm new here and just wrote my first opinion, perhaps you could give me any hints what I could do better next time? Would be really nice... Greetings, folkemon
