I don't understand the only other review here or why this set doesn't have more reviews; but this is a nice way to repackage material.

Here is ABBA Gold (disc 1) and More ABBA Gold (disc 2) and every (??) ABBA video ever made. If it's not every video it has to be very close to it. Plus there are some Extras on the DVD giving the history of ABBA.

The packaging is very nice and all my friends like it enough to buy their own.

While the "Thank You For The Music" 4 disc set is great; it has filler and non-hits that may annoy the casual fan wanting only the big hits they know from radio.

This set is the HITS and you can play the DVD at parties and watch the Justice League of Disco in their funky clothes fight bad melodies with superb pop music.

Only the original 1992 CD version has been sold in the United States. Its edited versions of "Voulez-Vous" and "The Name of the Game" were replaced by the full original-length versions on the 1999 and subsequent re-releases. Instead of its 3 other songs, local ABBA hits appeared on the 1992 Australasian issue. "Chiquitita" and "Fernando" were sung in Spanish on the 1992 Spanish version.
The 1999 re-mastered CD Signature Issue had different track listings, the autographs, and new sleeve notes. The 10th Anniversary Edition re-release of 2002 included the ABBA logo written with the official font, a redesigned back cover, and the European track list. In 2003, 2xCD Special Edition with Bonus CD was released. In 2004, a CD/DVD Anniversary Edition (also available without DVD) was released in UK. It had a sleeve cover in gold rather than black. Its DVD included 18 of the 19 songs from the CD (except "The Name Of The Game") as video clips with excellent sound, but their picture was so dated, for ABBA's stiffness and lame showmanship in addition to a low quality of the image, that the clip use may not be much more than just for listening. The 2008 CD re-release was similar to the 2002 one.
The 2003 DVD included the same 19 songs as the CD, but in said visually impaired video clips, a 25 min. historical documentary, and the 1992 video "Dancing Queen".

I just loved it. It's fantastic, I do recommend to you all. It's worth every cent spent with. I love ABBA.

ABBA Gold-Sound+Vision contains the ABBA Gold and More ABBA Gold compilations. Both compilations Combined, they give a great overveiw of ABBA's career. Both discs contain the bulk of their hits. More discerning fans may find a few songs missing. But you can't augue with what's here. Not many of their rarities are here (You might wanna get ABBA's The Definitive Collection for some of their rarities).

The the DVD is limited with the videos that are included. There are videos only for the songs on ABBA Gold. Videos for songs on More ABBA Gold are absent on this collection. That would have made for a better hits and video collection.
