I agree with John (from N.Y.), these 24-bit re-masters of the Abba catalogue were a big letdown. In a side by side comparison, the original discs sounded much better than these. The originals were brighter and plenty full; just like the original album sounded.

On the other hand, these 24-bit discs sound slightly muddy and the high end (which includes acoustic guitars and cymbals) are flat or dead sounding thanks to the no-noise solution. My advice, is to save your money and keep your old discs.

3.30th Anniversary Original Album Box by: ABBA
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Search : 30th Anniversary Original Album Box
This a very impressive box set meant for hardcore Abba fans or hardcore collectors.

It was relased in Japan earlier than it was in the US. It sells for 21,000 yen in Japan (about $200) I assume the reason for the higher price in the US is bulk import costs. I am uncertain if there is any difference with the US release but the Japanese release has a lot of materials.

Each disc is in a polyethelyne dust jacket inside a slip case with the original album art and a booklet nearly identical to the ones in the 2001 US release. The bonus disc has no booklet but the set itself includes a large 80 page booklet with album info and lyrics. About 95% of the booklet is in Japanese. There are also facsimilies from the Japanese releases of LP singles of, Hasta Manana/Honey Honey, Fernando/Tropical ... Read More

4.The Complete Studio Recordings by: ABBA

Getting all ABBA's CDs in a box set for $100 sounded appealing to me. But, I'm more interested in fidelity of sound than in fancy packaging. The lyrics to all the songs are not included in this set. None of them are. Also, the remastering here is significantly inferior to European imports produced in the summer of 2001, in my opinion. I think the remastering on the "Waterloo" import from June 2001 is the best I've ever heard on an ABBA CD, even though the disc appears to be CD-R. With the above issues in mind, I am not impressed with the "paper sleeve" LP-style packaging on this box set, either. My recommendation would be to purchase ABBA's first five albums produced in Europe in June 2001, while they are still available. Although there are a few good songs on ABBA's last few albums, I feel I can live without ... Read More
