More ABBA Gold - ABBA

This is a second-best Abba greatest hits, really. Nowhere near as good as Abba Gold. There are undeniably some hits on this collection, but they are mainly either from the beginning of their career (Ring Ring and I do, I do, I do, I do, I do) or the end (Summernight City, Angel Eyes, Under attack) - the lesser hits, we can safely say.
