    What a great sound. Warm, wide, detailed, dynamic. It’s just so cool, that nowadays these Japanese releases of ABBA are so cheap in Mint condition. They worth much more.
    Traditionally for Japanese vinyl - dead quiet surface.
    I’ll leave the same review for these Discomate releases, because they are equal in of sound and quality.

      This is the definitive pressing of this album. Don’t waste your time or money on any other pressing.
