    it's difficult to understand how the results are so bad on this release and so good on the dvd Abba In Concert,
    since both are mixed by Bernard Löhr

    while the 5.1 mix on the dvd was supervised by Benny Andersson,
    his son produced this album, maybe he hasn't got his father's ear?

    maybe Björn Engelmann screwed up a good mix with a very bad master?

    anyway the difference definitely shows here

    so we'll have to wait with this bass-heavy thing until it's remixed from scratch

      One big disappointment.....
      What a pity, it would seem for the first time given the opportunity to attend a concert. Even if listening to the recording, being transported to the distant and irrevocable year 1979. Alas, alas, alas.

      I can judge and speak only about the double CD of 2014 edition. LP didn't listen.
      The voices of the soloists are somewhere far away, obviously not in the foreground, the cymbals of the drum kit are clearly highlighted, and thus do not sound natural - chirping. The impression is that the regulators on the equalizer are incorrectly set. And yes, the quality is as if they were writing from the audience to an amateur tape recorder. It's sad to see the name of Michael Tretow as a sound engineer. This is not his level of work. Although he said in an interview that he was not interested in the concert sound. Another thing is to work in the studio.
      It was not necessary to publish this record. No need !
      Discredit your favorite band.

      About the live sound: I highly recommend the James Last - Live !!! Recorded in 1974. I was lucky enough to buy a box of 25 James Last albums that included this 1974 recording. Edition 2019. 25 CDs.
      Alas, this concert of 1974 was not released separately on CD. Double LP only.
      The sound at the concert is so GREAT that it is not a recording, but the very presence of a concert !!! This is the BEST live recording I've heard so far !
      INCREDIBLE !!!!!!!

      P.S. Listening with Audio-Technica ATH-A990Z headphones, Audio-Technica AT-HA21 headphone amplifier, and Onkyo BD-SP809 Blu-ray disc player.

        I bought this vinyl last week. I could not believe I had spent so much money on a vinyl with such a bad sound. I think maybe the CD can have better sound. If anyone knows if the CD also has a horrible sound, please let me know, so I do not buy it then.
