The new ABBA box set "The Essential Collection" is being released on September 3. It includes two CD's with the group's biggest hits and best known album tracks, a DVD with all videos, plus an illustrated book.The only thing new to me is two Spanish videos, something I'm not that interested in, so I'm not getting the collection. I wish they would release the full version of "Just Like That" instead, but I doubt that will never happen.
"The Essential Collection" is great for beginners and for fans who don't already have all the previous CD's and DVD's. You can pre-order it now from Amazon. The CD box and the DVD will also be sold separately.
