ABBA’s back catalogue is set to be reissued on coloured vinyl for the first time ever as part of a new box set titled ABBA: The Studio Albums.
All eight of their studio albums will be pressed on a kaleidoscope of vivid records reflecting the album artwork. Ring Ring will be pressed on red vinyl, Waterloo on orange vinyl, ABBA on silver vinyl, Arrival on white vinyl , ABBA – The Album on green vinyl, Voulez-Vous on blue vinyl, Super Trouper on gold vinyl and The Visitors on yellow vinyl. ABBA tragics have, of course, sold out the pre-sale, but you can sign up for the waiting list here.
Back in 2018, the Swedish icons announced their reunion, ending a 37-year ABBA drought. Benny Andersson revealed that the group are hoping to release new music this year.
“They’re coming,” he shared. “They’re coming this year. I’m guessing after the summer. But I can only guess, because I’m not really sure. But I would think so.
In early 2018 it was revealed that Ulvaeus, Andersson and singers Agnetha Fältskog and Frida Lyngstad had recorded two new songs. The songs even had titles: “I Still Have Faith in You’ and ‘Don’t Shut Me Down’. Unfortunately, our ears are yet to be blessed with the songs.
This world truly needs ABBA to return. We need their ebullient, glimmering, extremely European pop ditties to supplement our escapism from the scary reality we’re all living through. All I want in this life is to don a lurex catsuit and dance around my room as if it’s the only place in the world that exists and to achieve this, I desperately need ABBA’s assistance.
