    Incredible album and pressing! The dynamic range is out of this world! Excellent mastering and beautiful bass! Probably the most bass I've heard on an ABBA album. It also helps that I love this album so much! The best pressing of this record for sure!

      One of the best pressings of this release. Superior dynamics and superb mastering by George Piros at Atlantic Studios; the man is a legend. Vinyl though, is very noisy.
