Description:
ABBA's 19-song Gold collection was the first hits compilation prepared specifically for the CD format by the 1970s supergroup, and, appearing after a period of several years in which their music had been off the market, was a welcome addition to the catalog. It is still the simplest and most straightforward collection of the group's material that it is possible to buy.

Review:
Even if you weren't "around" in the mid-'70s, the music created during those few short years by ABBA will stand the test of time. The '40s had the Mills Brothers as the high-priests of harmony; in the '50s it was "The Platters" and the "Everly Brothers"; in the '60s it was "The Mamas and the Papas" ... but in the '70s ... harmony, within the music industry, was OWNED by: ABBA. Their "GOLD" album proves it. My oh my ... do yourself a favor and listen to the epitome of harmony from a musical age that can never be repeated.
