A recent PBS special made me dig this one out of the recesses of my music collection and, man, was I glad to rediscover the music. I had forgotten how popular the group was, how intricate were the compositions sung, and how sexy Agnetha and Frida were, even wearing their over-the-top fashions.

It's a shame that the album is not in stock for it features thirteen of the group's best and most memorable pop creations. Culled from the chartmaking years of 1975 - 1978, the 14 tracks are:

1. "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)"
2. "Knowing Me, Knowing YOu"
3. "Take a Chance on Me"
4. "Money, Money, Money"
5. "Rock Me"
6. "Eagle"
7. "Angeleyes"
8. "Dancing Queen" - The group's signature song
9. "Does Your Mother Know" - A really FUN tune
10. "Chiquita"
11. "Summer Night City"
12. "I Wonder (Departure)"

and these two personals favorites,

13. "The Name of the Game"
14. "Thank You for the Music"

The aforementioned special indicated that the group sold over 380,000,000 recordings in its tenure.

Now, that's a lotta plastic!!!
