Notes

From the liner notes of ABBA - The Complete Studio Recordings:
"Alternate mix, briefly available on initial pressings of Polar single POS 1187, Sweden 1974."
This version is most notably different from regular single and album version for the loud oh yeah's during the verses and also lacking saxophones in the first chorus.
Matrix number of side A "POS-1187-A."
The first pressing with the regular version also uses the matrix number "POS-1187-A".

    Beware. Not all copies with matrix number POS-1187-A have the alternate mix. At least not my copy, which sounds identical to the matrix number POS-1187-A2. No oh yeah´s there.
