ABBA – Singles Collection 1972 – 1982 (27×7″, Single, RE + 7″, Single, Pic + Box, Comp) (Very Good Plus (VG+))

Media Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)

Sleeve Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)

PM – BOX #64

All records and pic sleeves in VG++ to NM condition, most seem to be unplayed.. Missing the Waterloo picture disc. Box is in relatively nice shape, info cover on back of box is slightly unglued on top right corner but can be easily repaired. Corners of box have some normal light wear on them.

Notes:

[Box front:] “Plus 1 Bonus Picture Disc WATERLOO (German Version) WATERLOO (French Version)”
[Box back:] 27 international singles of ABBA

27 reissue/replicas of all German (or ‘international’) 7″ releases by ABBA
Blue cloth surfaced cardboard box with a top opening attached lid
Two-sided single-sheet insert: list of the 7″ and tracks included, highest German chart position, original release dates

How to tell the original issues from the 1984 replicas?
– All of the 1984 replicas have Label Code (LC 0309) on both A/B labels. On the originals, it doesn’t appear on labels before “Take A Chance On Me” (1978) (some sleeves have it though).
– All of the 1984 replicas from “Dancing Queen” onwards have the actual ‘backwards B’ logo on labels. Some/most of the originals do have a ‘backwards B’ but no actual logo. Only the two original 7″ from 1982 use the actual logo.
– “The Day Before You Came” (1982) has durations on labels as 5’50/4’50, the replica lists them as 5:50/4:50.
– “Under Attack” (1982) appears to be identical to the box set version (or the original isn’t submitted yet).
– Images of all 1984 labels can be seen at www.abba4therecord.com/zsingle_collect.php

Additional notes:
– The original plates from the two 1982 7″ (with identical labels) were possibly used for this box set (or actual surplus stock from 1982 was used for this box).
