4.0 out of 5 stars for hardcore Abba fans only .much material is in Japanese, March 20, 2005

This review is from: 30th Anniversary Original Album Box (Audio CD)

This a very impressive box set meant for hardcore Abba fans or hardcore collectors.

It was relased in Japan earlier than it was in the US. It sells for 21,000 yen in Japan (about $200) I assume the reason for the higher price in the US is bulk import costs. I am uncertain if there is any difference with the US release but the Japanese release has a lot of materials.

Each disc is in a polyethelyne dust jacket inside a slip case with the original album art and a booklet nearly identical to the ones in the 2001 US release. The bonus disc has no booklet but the set itself includes a large 80 page booklet with album info and lyrics. About 95% of the booklet is in Japanese. There are also facsimilies from the Japanese releases of LP singles of, Hasta Manana/Honey Honey, Fernando/Tropical Loveland, Dancing Queen/Tiger, SOS/I do I do I do..., and The Winner Takes it All/Elaine.

There are also the slips often seen on Japanese releases of albums originally released outside of Japan. The box itself is a weighted slipcase.

5.0 out of 5 stars ABBA The ultimate box set, March 19, 2005

By

This review is from: 30th Anniversary Original Album Box (Audio CD)

This has to be the ultimate for ant ABBA fan. This box set from Japan is all of Abba's 8 album's re-mastered and re-released again, just in time for their 30th anniversary.
The bonus cd is everything a true ABBA fan would want. This includes remixes and tracks never before released.
I recommend this as a keeper. This box set is a limited edition from Japan. You won't be disappointed.
