Notes

"I Have A Dream", the last single off "Voulez-Vous", was released in December 1979 – after the release of "Greatest Hits Vol. 2" (which didn't include "Dream") and the (then) new hit "Gimme Gimme Gimme" – and alongside "Little Things" is the only ABBA song to include vocalists other than the band ; the final chorus features a children's choir.

The main B-side was "Take A Chance On Me (Recorded Live at Wembley)", others being "As Good As New", "Does Your Mother Know", "Rock Me" and "Voulez-Vous". 1980 issues came with "Conociendome, Conociendote". Some versions feature "Estoy Soñando", Spanish version of "I Have A Dream". Panama released both "Estoy Soñando" and the original as singles, while the Venezuelan version couples the two on one release. "As Good As New" was the A-side (and made #1) in Mexico. Bolivia released both "Estoy Soñando / As Good As New" and "As Good As New / I Have A Dream".

For cover art, most releases used the 'live' design. The 'nudes' design was used on the Bolivian 7", Mexican "Estoy Soñando" 7" and on the back sleeve of the Uruguay 12". Mexican "As Good As New" 7" has exclusive cover art. Argentinian release reuses the "Does Your Mother Know" sleeve.

For releases that couple "I Have A Dream" with "Chiquitita", see "Chiquitita (Spanish Version)".
For releases that couple "I Have A Dream" with "Angeleyes", see "Ojos De Angel".

referencing I Have A Dream (7", 45 RPM, Single, Stereo) S EPC 8088

First label of this type for an ABBA release. Others were for Super Trouper and Head Over Heels, plus three albums.

referencing I Have A Dream (7", 45 RPM, Single) S EPC 8088

Duration of b-side doesn't appear to be shown on the label, but likely to be the same or similar as other Epic releases of this title. Last ABBA release on orange Epic label.
