A live recording had featured on the B-side of ‘The Name Of The Game’ in 1977, which was planned to be included on this disc, until ABBA sound engineer Michael B. unreleased 1982 track , Just like That'was also considered for release on MORE ABBA GOLD, but Bjorn and Benny nixed that idea. Lets be honest a good pop band that made good songs that appealed to all ages and the record company wanted to make a few shillings from there back catalogue. I'm immediately cheating, I know, I but I'm voting for option three ( Greatest Hits and Greatest Hits Volume 2). million copies, [2] Gold: Greatest Hits is the second-highest selling album of all time in the United Kingdom, [3] after Queen's Greatest Hits.Released in 1993, it was the follow-up to the highly successful ABBA Gold, released the previous year, and went on to sell 3 million copies. The UK saw a 30th Anniversary Edition released in 2004 with a gold-coloured sleeve cover with black writing, rather than the normal black sleeve with gold writing. I know Abba made some happy, joyful music (Dancing Queen, Waterloo etc) but also I think some of it is actually very sad like the divorced themed Knowing Me Knowing You, The Winner Takes It All, Our Last Summer, Slipping Through My Fingers, etc. imho 'dancing queen' 'fernando' 'chiquitita' and a few othrs boardered on ultra-cheese , although they, like all abba compositions were fantastic pop music.

The 1993 audio releases include a single edit of "Eagle", a promo edit of "The Visitors" and an alternate mix of "Lovelight". The standard line around ABBA (as I understand it) is that, while their discography has its fair share of hidden gems, all the ABBA you really need is on ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits, and that while they got artsier and more sophisticated around the time of The Visitors, that's still ultimately an anomalous footnote to a career defined mainly by kitschy pop songcraft.Thus, you may be tempted to see this "best of the rest" compilation as superfluous and pass it over. Whilst both of these songs were single B-sides, they were just as good and equally as popular as the A-sides, hence their inclusion on a 'hits' compilation. The 2008 version has an over emphasised 'base beat', probably to try and appeal to younger post-Mamma Mia fans who expect a lot of base.
