ONE OF ABBAS BEST - By: SARA, 12 Jan 2008 
I HAD THIS ON VINYL. NOW REMASTERED IT NOW INCLUDES FERNANDO AND THE LITTLE KNOWN HAPPY HAWAII. THE SONGS FLOW BEAUTIFULLY, OUTSTANDING TRACKS FOR ME ARE; THATS ME, KNOWING ME KNOWING YOU AND THE WONDERFUL MY LOVE MY LIFE SUNG TO PERFECTION BY AGNETHA. THIS IS CLASSIC ABBA AT ITS BEST .EVEN DUM DUM DIDDLE IS WORTH A LISTEN!
The Template - By: T. Edwards, 01 Oct 2007 ...for almost every pop record ever since...
Minus the bonus tracks, this is a mere 31 minutes long but utter perfection from the well-known singles to the lesser known tracks. The up moments are riotous confection (Dum Dum Diddle, the tender moments show new depths (My Love, My Life) & the closer, the instrumental Arrival,in some weird way hints at that slightly unfathomable Swedishness that the rest of the world could never get enough of. Whether for nostalgia, new discovery, or a lessonin how to write a pop song, this is quite simply the best a pop record can be.
ABBA - ARRIVAL - The title says it all!! - By: FAMOUS NAME, 17 Sep 2007 Only ABBA's third studio album, but what a masterpiece!!
Forever the anthem to the long & hot summer of 1976 - hits such as Dancing Queen & the album itself will be forever locked awayin history for us all to open the doors to whenever we get depressed of all the awful things that are going on nowadays, & we wish to escape to a much happier time!
This collection includes two number ones plus a Top 3 smash! All ABBA's albums now sound incredibly like greatest hits compilations due to the catchiness of all their album material. Each & every song has been so well thought over & not thrown together like so much album material we get from other groups, merely to fill the gaps between the hits.
This was ABBA's shortest album at barely thirty minutes long, & is just another testimony that some of the best & most successful works, are indeed the shortest of them all!
To this day, ABBA remain timelessin that one can play any of their albums any time, & they still sound as good & as fresh as the day they were recorded.
God bless them!
A forgotten classic - By: , 24 Feb 2006 
I remember listening to this album on vinyl & playing it so often that it got quite worn so I was glad to be able to buy it on CD. There are many great songs on this album which are truly honest, well... songs! (without the prefab hype you tend to get nowadays) Well put together, great harmony & vocals. The outstanding tracks for me are "My Love, My Life", "That's me", "Tiger" & a little known number, "Dancing Queen". Well you've got to love it haven't you? If you haven't got it already, what have you been doing?
A blast from the past. - By: Romari, 25 Sep 2005 First bought this albumin 1976 as a viny LP,which I still have. My turntable,like my vinyl collection liesin the loft! When I saw this cd yesterday I just had to buy it. Glad I did. It is as good today as it ever was. I have never bought any of the compilation cd's as the original albums are better by far.
If you only buy one album of Abba let it be this one.
Also have upgraded copies of Super Trouper, The Album, & Waterloo as well.Only Voulez Vous & The Visitors remain as vinyl......but not for long.
