Yet Deluxe disappointment ...

As always I write nothing to the music, because more or less all of us familiar with this album. There are also numerous reviews, ABBA's start and all tracks of this album describe (in its original version). I personally think it would ring Ring & interest rate positive for an album from the year 1972-1973!

But ...

It is a pure illusion that this version contains 13 bonus tracks, as meissten the bonus tracks do not have anything to do with the group! Songs like "There's a little man" or "Välkommen till världen" are no ABBA songs. Perhaps Benny or Björn (or both), the composer ... these songs are not sung by ABBA and also not officially belong to the group! It sing other singers, not Benny, Björn, Agnetha and Frida!

The DVD is an absolute impudence !! It's almost a teaching disc and it is perfectly clear that no effort has been to find several videos, interviews, or anything else of the time. Of course, now comes the question whether there was something more ... you could calm some new "magic", such as take a video of the first attempt of the group in the Grand Prix, to show us was included in which studio Ring Ring as the 4 have know learned and how the idea came to start as a group. A 10 minute video documentary would be enough! It's a debut album, Root for all'das what would we might expect in the next few years is not if there was not this album! It takes little imagination and love ... which was absolutely not the case here. The main thing a DVD is present, so that the Deluxe Edition also "Deluxe" is ... but is not!

For remastering ...
The sound convinced, especially when compared with the "Visitors Disaster" (a joke), but I find the version of "The Complete Studio Recordings" and "ABBA The Album" better. Who has both versions, can make a comparison and hear the superior quality of the aforementioned box sets immediately.

The only 100% bonus is the new booklet, with information and pictures.

On the question whether it is worthwhile to buy this edition or vorrige ... I would rather buy a vorrige. If I want to hear an ABBA album, I want to hear ONLY ABBA ... and here the bonus tracks make sure that you can hear other voices suddenly. And if I would like to see a DVD, then I expect definitely a little more than 15 minutes, which is the case here!
