It is not to be confused with ABBA: The Album, released in 1977.ABBA  is the third studio album by the Swedish pop group ABBA. It was originally released on 21 April 1975 through Polar Music and featured the hits “SOS”, “I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do” and “Mamma Mia”.[2]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsOverview[edit]Track listing[edit]Non-album tracks[edit]Personnel[edit]Weekly charts[edit]Monthly charts[edit]Year-end charts[edit]Sales and Certifications[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Overview[edit]Following the Eurovision success of “Waterloo”, ABBA saw the band gaining worldwide recognition. “I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do” topped the charts in Australia, as did “Mamma Mia” shortly after. “SOS” and “Mamma Mia” became hits in both the United States and the United Kingdom.[2] The album saw ABBA dabble with reggae on “Tropical Loveland” and includes a grand, pseudo-classical keyboard instrumental in the traditions of Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman with “Intermezzo No. 1” (early working title: “Mama”).[3]ABBA was first released on CD in Japan in 1986 by Polydor Records.[4] This release contains a slightly different mix of “Man in the Middle” not found on any subsequent CD pressing and thus is highly sought after by collectors.[5]ABBA was released on CD throughout Europe in 1987 also by Polydor, with five songs added from the Waterloo and Ring Ring albums, which were not available on CD until 1990. ABBA was released on CD in Sweden by Polar Music in 1988,[6] featuring the original 11 tracks only. The album has been reissued in digitally remastered form several times: in 1997 as part of “The ABBA Remasters” series with two bonus tracks,[7] in 2001 with an updated cover artwork,[8] in 2005 as part of The Complete Studio Recordings box set, and most recently in 2012 as a “Deluxe Edition”.[9] On the original UK cassette release of the album, “Bang-A-Boomerang” was split in two parts, being faded during the second verse at the end of side one and continued at the beginning of side two.[10]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Track listing[edit]Source:[11][12][13]2001 CD edition bonus tracksTitleWriter(s)12.“Crazy World”\u00a03:4813.“Pick a Bale of Cotton”\/”On Top of Old Smokey”\/”Midnight Special” (medley)TraditionalAndersson[a]Ulvaeus[a]4:21The Complete Studio Recordings \/ 2012 deluxe (The Breakthrough Album) edition bonus tracksTitleWriter(s)12.“Crazy World”\u00a03:4613.“Pick a Bale of Cotton”\/”On Top of Old Smokey”\/”Midnight Special” (medley)TraditionalAndersson[a]Ulvaeus[a]4:2114.“Mamma Mia” (Spanish version)AnderssonAndersonUlvaeusBuddy McCluskeyMary McCluskey3:342012 deluxe edition DVDTitle1.“ABBA in Australia” (television special)40:592.“Made in Sweden \u2013 For Export” (SVT)10:543.“SOS” (Seaside Special, BBC)3:214.“Mamma Mia” (Top of the Pops, BBC)3:215.“The Best of ABBA TV Commercial”0:586.“Greatest Hits TV Commercial”0:337.“International Sleeve Gallery”3:35NotesNon-album tracks[edit]Recorded 18 October 1974 at Glen Studio. The lyrics for the song were later re-written and became “Rock Me”. “Baby” was first released on CD on the box set Thank You for the Music as part of the ABBA Undeleted section.“Crazy World” was recorded on 16 October 1974 at Glen Studio during sessions for this album. The track was left unreleased until it surfaced again during the Arrival sessions, and was eventually released as the b-side to the “Money, Money, Money” single in November 1976. “Crazy World” was first released on CD on the box set Thank You for the Music, and then appeared as a bonus track on the CD re-issue of the album ABBA.[14]“Here Comes Ruby Jamie” was recorded on 16 September 1974 at Glen Studio, and is one of the rare occasions where Benny Andersson sings the lead vocals. The song was first released on CD on the box set “Thank You for the Music” as part of the ABBA Undeleted section.“Medley: Pick a Bale of Cotton\/On Top of Old Smokey\/Midnight Special”Recording began on 6 May 1975 at Glen Studio. It remains ABBA’s only studio recorded release of material not written by themselves, and was originally released on the 1975 German charity album “Stars Im Zeichen Eines Guten Sterns”. In 1978, it featured (with a slight audio tweak, for many years mistakenly referred to as a ‘remix’) as the B-side of the “Summer Night City” single. The song was first released on CD on the box set Thank You for the Music, then the 1978 version appeared as a bonus track on the CD re-issue of the album ABBA.[14]“Rikky Rock ‘N’ Roller” was recorded on 15 September 1974 at Glen Studio, and was first released on CD on the box set Thank You for the Music as part of the ABBA Undeleted section. Later released by Jerry Williams on the album Kick Down in 1976.Personnel[edit]ABBAAdditional musiciansRoger Palm\u00a0\u2013 drums, tambourine, timpaniOla Brunkert\u00a0\u2013 drums on “SOS”, “Man in the Middle” and “So Long”Rutger Gunnarsson\u00a0\u2013 bassMike Watson\u00a0\u2013 bass on “Mamma Mia”, “Tropical Loveland”, “SOS”, “Man in the Middle”, “I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do” and “So Long”Janne Schaffer\u00a0\u2013 guitar on Mamma Mia, “Hey, Hey Helen”, “SOS”, “Man in the Middle”, “Bang-A-Boomerang” and “So Long”Finn Sj\u00f6berg\u00a0\u2013 guitar on “Mamma Mia”, “Rock Me”, “Intermezzo No. 1” and “I’ve Been Waiting For You”Lasse Wellander\u00a0\u2013 guitar on “Tropical Loveland”, “I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do”, “Rock Me” and “Intermezzo No. 1”Ulf Andersson \u00a0\u2013 alto saxophone, tenor saxophoneBruno Glenmark\u00a0\u2013 trumpetBj\u00f6rn J:son Lindh; Sven-Olof Walldoff\u00a0\u2013 string arrangementsBj\u00f6rn J:son Lindh\u00a0\u2013 horn arrangementsProductionBenny Andersson; Bj\u00f6rn Ulvaeus\u00a0\u2013 producers, arrangersMichael B.
