Their most well-known studio album after "ABBA" and "Voulez Vous". This album showcases Scandinavian pop in it's finest half hour with such tracks as "Dancing Queen" (their only US number one), "Money, Money, Money" and "Knowing Me, Knowing You" alongside the sleeper hit "That's Me". The original Australian and New Zealand pressings are highly regarded due to both editions containing the track "Fernando" - previously only released as a single off some editions of "Greatest Hits".
