ABBA - Live

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON POLAR 1981

Polar POLS 342 made in Sweden with lyric inner sleeve.

Vinyl NM. Cover VG+.

This recording is often underrated, and might seem superfluous in the wake of the release of the group's various hits compilations on CD, but it does have merits. Drawn from three distinct sets of performances, in Australia (1977), London's Wembley Arena (1979), and the television special Dick Cavett Meets ABBA (1981), the quartet proves that they could recreate their recordings on stage with a few improvements. The beat is more urgent on most of the numbers (most especially "Dancing Queen " "Take a Chance on Me," and "Does Your Mother Know" -- the live version of the latter, in particular, puts the studio rendition to shame). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABBA
