 Born The Wrong Side of the Blanket August 20, 2008

There are too many filler tracks on this album to make it a worthwhile purchase. Perversely, it's one of those tracks - Eagle - that means this collection gets two stars instead of just the one. Stick to "Gold", it's the one with all the cheesey disco on and is all you need.
 More ABBA Gold = More ABBA greatness! November 28, 2007

I have always listened to ABBA growing up and without a single doubt they are my favourite band. Most (if not all) people think this is strange as I am 17 years old.
I first started listening to all the "classics" such as "The Winner Takes It All", "Super Trouper" etc. I then moved on to their less known stuff. This is exactly that - less known really, but unbelieveable. Some of the songs that are included on this album are amazing - why they were not bigger hits amazes me. Angeleyes, Under Attack, The Day Before You Came and I Am The City are particulary fine. The words mean a lot more in these songs and you can really feel it.
So if you are a keen ABBA fan or a fan that just wants to see the bands more mature side this is the album!!

ABBA Gold is one of the 10 most lasting albums in the UK chart history. It sold millions of copies and went platinum in numerous countries. That means that More Gold is a realistic extension and another album really worth buying. There are many, many ABBA compilations out there, but this is the one to buy. It is 11 years old now and contains some less known ABBA tracks and most of them were not issued as singles, but were less than available on CD at that time.
Tracks such as Summer Night City (top 10) and Angeleyes (top 10) should have made the GOLD compilation (although Angeleyes is not a great track), and tracks 3,5,11,14,18 also made the top 40.
As you already know, I Am the City was the only song that was exclusive to this compilation and that alone made this album worth buying (and BTW, the song is extraordinary).
The only irritating and unimportant tracks are Our Last Summer and So Long (for some), otherwise many groups would be jealous to have such records to their disposal.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention Eagle as a song that should have been releases as a single. Such a great track.

Some excellant stuff on here, really quite wonderful. There are too many ABBA compilations out there, so knowing who this is aimed at that the others aren't is a bit difficult.Of the music there is nothing wrong. It basically includes anything that they couldn't fit onto the first one. Favourites for me include, "Summer Night City", "Eagle", "I Do . . .", the brilliant "So Long", "Ring Ring", "Head Over Heels", "Cassandra" & "The Way Old Friends Do" Also for your delictation is the excellant "I Am The City" which is not so easy to get a hold of. A great companion to the first volume for all those who like me have their ABBA on the original vinyl and want to sing along in the car(!)
Companion to Abba Gold includes rare I am the city March 9, 2003

It would appear that this album, when released, was something of an afterthought. Abba gold sold millions of copies, so this compilation was assembled for those who wanted a second Abba collection. Inevitably, it is not as strong as Abba gold, as the most obvious songs were all there, but it still easily justifies five stars.Abba ha more hits than can be accommodated on a single CD, so there are a few hits here, although they didn't chart in all the major record-buying countries. These include Summer night city and Angel eyes (both British top five), Eagle (a big hit in several European countries, but not released as a UK single), I do I do I do I do I do (an early Abba hit in Britain, America and many other countries), Honey honey, When all is said and done (both American hits), Ring ring (their 1973 song which wasn't selected for Eurovision), Head over heels and Under attack, one of their last hits. The day before you came was the last newly recorded Abba single. It was a minor British hit but it is one of my favorite Abba songs, which would have been a much bigger hit had it been recorded and released a few years earlier. I am the city was recorded for a new album that never materialised. It is a typically upbeat Abba song, but is one of their rarest tracks. All the other tracks either appeared on original albums, or have been added as bonus tracks to re-mastered versions of original albums - for example, Summer night city is a bonus track on Voulez-vous. Furthermore, I am the city has not appeared on any other compilation (at the time of this writing) except Forever gold, a re-issue of this album and Abba gold as a double-CD. So Abba fans need this CD just for I am the city. For the more casual music fan, this is a great companion to Abba gold. If you don't have either and you want two CD's of their best music, you might consider some of the more recent double-CD's such as Definitive collection - most of the tracks will be the same, but a double-CD might be better value for money.
