I wonder if these are mini-LPs?

I'm glad they're releasing this -- I know Jimbo's gotta be excited about buying the ABBA catalog again!

I finally got Ring Ring and completed my run. I am especially fond of that first one because of its naïvete and freshness.

Now I'm going to collect Agnetha and Frida's solo albums. But I don't think I'll bother with "Chess".

Well, I've already got the "Blue Box" that has all the albums as mini-lps, plus bonus discs of rarities and a DVD of videos. What's new about this one?

Bump: this box set is now going to be released domestically as an Amazon.com exclusive, and it will be available two weeks earlier than the UK general release date. See first post for updated details.

(Note: those of you who pre-ordered the import version from Amazon USA have been automatically converted to the domestic release, so there's no need to cancel and re-order, the price has already been adjusted downward. Check your accounts for confirmation.)

If I have all of the 2001 remasters with bonus tracks, is there any reason for me to get this? (The black box is nice, but....) It looks like the bonus CD is missing some of the bonus tracks from the previous remasters, so this set doesn't even function as a replacement.

The black box is nice.

You know, I hadn't thought of it that way.

Ven: The CDs in the blue box have all the same bonus tracks as the 2001 remasters, so it's possible (even probable) the ones in the black box will too.

Nice black box, too.

You might get a few more bonus tracks that way, but that is space taken up where you could have stored something else, money spent where you could have bought something else. I think if you've got the studio albums, that should take care of it. I've also read that the sound on the box is not as good as on the remasters that were released previously.
