On the 26th March 1976 ABBA released their first Greatest Hits album in the UK. The album went on to become the biggest selling album of 1976 and the second biggest selling album of the 70s.
Just added another Russian album to my collection - this time it is the "ABBA" album. As with most Russian versions I have the album cover is different to that used in most other countries but the track listing is the same.
On the back of the album cover you can see the track names in English and Russian.
What with all the recent excitement over Agnetha's new single and album I thought it would be good to add another Agnetha item to my collection. This time it s a 12" version of the first Agnetha solo record I ever bought "The Heat Is On". This version was released on the Polydor label and included a longer version of the original single.
The Telegraph newspaper in the UK includes an article on Agnetha on their website - to read the piece follow the link below -

Agnetha's new album is currently in 4th position in the Amazon UK pre-sales chart.
I have added another version of "Arrival" to my collection this week - from Russia this time - as you can see from the image below the artwork is similar to the UK version (with the band standing outside the helicopter) with a slight colour filter.
The track listing is the same as the UK version with the song names shown in Russian and English.
On the 15th March 2010 Benny and Frida attended the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York. During the ceremony Benny played piano when Faith Hill sang "The Winner Takes It All".
