Notes

"Lay All Your Love On Me" wasn't originally intended to be a single (off "Super Trouper"), but was released as one in 1981 but only on 12" and in limited territories, apparently prompted by the Disconet re-edit topping the US dance charts. In the UK, "Lay All Your Love On Me" was the highest charting 12" only release at the time, reaching #7. No video was shot for the track either (the official video reuses previously shot footage).

"On And On And On" was the B-side on all official 1981 releases. French 12" is a 'Double A-side'. "Super Trouper" appears as B-side on Japan promos.

See "On And On And On" for 1980 releases, some with "Lay All Your Love On Me" as B-side.

The pressing looks good, and sounds beautiful. I really appreciate that it is in my collection, but it was waaaaay toooo overpriced, when I bought it back in February.

This is not exclusive to the ABBA web store as it says in the notes. I bought mine at an indie shop close to me by pre-order. It’s also available on Universal’s site. I probably won’t play it. Keep that PVC sleeve stored separate from it, they are evil and destroy records.

This better be excellent quality to justify the prices asked. Looking at the pics here (esp. the label), I'm not hopeful.

Edit (05/25) I bought it. Way overpriced. The sleeve is basic pvc and isn't designed to hold the heart-shaped vinyl in an upright position - so if you intend to display it, the heart will simply be lying on its side. Not very exciting.

This bootleg was released in 1981. It was a big hit in the Dutch dance scene. The A-side was based on the DiscoNet remix version. The B-side was based on Bits and Pieces III (also known as Let's do it in the 80's), later covered by the dutch group Stars on 45 (Jaap Eggermond). Because the B-side of this record (Let's do it) side also contains typical dutch tracks you know it's roots.
