    The reason you- some of you dislike it ( the artwork) is the reason for me to buy it. Hans Arnold who did the illustration have this ”soft horror” style as his trademark. Endless of children’s books and much more is known to every Swede over 50years. When he first come from Austria after the war he rented a room at my grandmothers apartment. I got one of his first paintings- in a completely different style. As a record collector and a Swede I buy the original press of all ABBA’s regular releases- but I don’t pay much and it must be in top condition. ( my main purchases was 808 state & 2 early Clash singels. ) For your information..Merry Christmas!

      The only good thing about this release is the groovy artwork. The actual pressing itself is absolutely horrendous. Everything is hidden behind a wall of mud - ill-defined bass and drums, zero midrange, and reversed channels on SOS. Just awful. ABBA clearly never got the ‘mastering’ memo. 😳

        I really hate the painting cover of this album - even though it was the first Abba album I ever heard in whole (North American, that is). Me, I love the slightly revised Japanese two-LP compilation.

          The release date for this reissue with white epic labels is 1986 not 1984

            I have one too... On backcover in upper left corner it says GDC 50-1
            The label is different from the 2 Swedish labels

              I have this one with a slightly different label on the LP and I wonder if that makes it a different version that should have it's own entry. Cat# and Matrix# seems to be the same on many Abba records even though the release is a slightly different version, re-print or from different country....?
