The Singles: The First 50 Years (Box Set) by ABBA (4 LPs) Main Genre:  Pop Style:  Europop   Polar Music International | Vinyl | 12 inch | Standard Weight | Standard Edition | Non Exclusive | Box Set | 2024   # of Tracks:  38 # of Discs:  4   The 50th anniversary of ABBA’s victory in the Eurovision Song Contest on April 6th 1974 has been thoroughly celebrated all over the world – not just the triumph with ‘Waterloo’, but the group’s amazing accomplishments and their position as one of the world’s major pop bands. And the celebrations aren’t over yet! In October 2024, Polar Music International will issue a magnificent box set of ABBA’s single A-sides: The Singles – The First Fifty Years. The compilation brings together, for the first time, not only every ABBA single issued by Polar up until 1982 but also the singles released in conjunction with 2021’s Voyage album. Building on ABBA’s classic double album The Singles – The First Ten Years, originally issued in 1982, this new box set expands the concept by bringing the story bang up to date, featuring every ABBA single released 1972–2022. Available as a four-vinyl disc set and a double-CD, The Singles – The First Fifty Years is a journey through some of the best pop music ever recorded. From the group’s 1972 debut single ‘People Need Love’ to the Voyage album’s ‘No Doubt About It’ in 2022, the 38-track box set features masterpieces such as ‘SOS’, ‘Mamma Mia’, ‘Fernando’, ‘Dancing Queen’, ‘Knowing Me, Knowing You’, ‘Take A Chance On Me’, ‘Chiquitita’, ‘Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)’, ‘The Winner Takes It All’, ‘Super Trouper’, ‘One Of Us’, ‘Don’t Shut Me Down’ and all of ABBA’s other big hits. To make the story more complete, The Singles – The First Fifty Years features four additional tracks not issued as Polar Music A-sides, but which were singles in some countries back in the day: ‘Hasta Mañana’, ‘Angeleyes’ (a double A-side with ‘Voulez-Vous’ in some countries), ‘Lay All Your Love On Me’ and ‘When All Is Said And Done’. The package also comes with an illustrated booklet with linernotes by Carl Magnus Palm. The Singles – The First Fifty Years is the ultimate celebration of ABBA’s pop music genius!   Tracklisting: Disc 1: 1972-1976 Side A People Need Love He Is Your Brother Ring Ring Love Isn't Easy (But It Sure Is Hard Enough) Waterloo Honey Honey   Side B Hasta Mañana So Long I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do SOS Mamma Mia Fernando   Disc 2:  1976-1979 Side C Dancing Queen Money, Money, Money Knowing Me, Knowing You The Name Of The Game Take A Chance On Me   Side D Eagle Summer Night City Chiquitita Does Your Mother Know   Disc 3:  1979-1981 Side E Voulez-Vous Angeleyes Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight) I Have A Dream   Side F The Winner Takes it All Super Trouper Lay All Your Love On Me One Of Us   Disc 4:  1981-2021 Side G Head Over Heels When All Is Said And Done The Day Before You Came Under Attack   Side H I Still Have Faith In You Don't Shut Me Down Just A Notion Little Things No Doubt About It
