CD & LP Box Set

A new complete ABBA albums box set will be issued in May with both CD and vinyl formats available. This 10 disc package has been updated to include their chart topping "Voyage" album and also features a bonus disc of non album singles and b sides.

There’s a 10 LP black vinyl edition and a 10 CD set. The 180g vinyl edition is said to mirror the spec of the previously released "The Studio Albums" vinyl box, although that was an 8 LP se, no bonus album or, of course, "Voyage", and was coloured vinyl rather than black, so it mirrors the spec apart from when it doesn’t.

There are no extra tracks on the albums themselves and the actual 10 track bonus disc is not a comprehensive round up, constricted no doubt by the running time of the vinyl record. The 2008 "The Albums" CD box set had a 17 track bonus disc, by comparison.

The CD box set comes with a 40 page booklet while the vinyl box doesn’t include any booklet, despite its heavy price tag. All the albums are also being issued on vinyl picture disc, although they are only available via Universal and ABBA channels.

Both CD and vinyl boxes are issued on May 27th, 2022, via Polydor Records and Universal Music.
