The Swedish pop group Abba were the dominant chart act in the UK during the second half of the 1970s. This second compilation maintains the standard of the first. (US:46 UK:1)
“Usually I'm not a big fan of compilations, but Abba were essentially a singles band so I don't think their artistic vision is compromised too severely by listening to their songs outside of the context of the original album. The track selection on here is pretty solid.”
“If they had combined the best hit songs from this album with those from the first greatest hits album they would have had a superior release.” “As with all Abba albums; you will want to play this over and over again, and sing along, because we all seem to know the words without having to learn them.”
“This was the first LP I purchased as a teen in the '70s. I loved it then and love it now. A classic pop album, a collection of their early hits and best songs.”
“Each song took me back to my childhood, when I knew them all by heart. You don't realize how many memories you store until they come flooding back as if they were just made yesterday.”
“This compilation represents Abba at their pop best before they sacrificed their glitter pop/Eurosong edge for the twin evils of show tune-ism and ersatz disco, not to mention the final horror of adult sophistication.”
“Whilst there is very little one can say about any Abba album to add to what everybody knows already, namely sheer brilliance, it has to be said that they surprised many with this one by adding four non-hit tracks to this compilation. Although there had been several included on the first Greatest Hits album that had not been singles in the UK, but they had been hits elsewhere. However, here we have four, including a couple of 'B' sides.”
