Put together by Abba's own Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, Mamma Mia! manages to cram over 20 of the Swedish supergroup's songs into a threadbare plot. It goes a little like this: Young Sophie is getting married and she's trying to identify which of three men is her father. That's about it. Wisely, the musical doesn't mess around with the songs, save for the insertion of some dialogue or for having some of them performed by a man (it works amazingly well). Abba fans will jump on this import of the London production, but traditional fans of musical theater should consider it as well. After all, Andersson and Ulvaeus's songs have always felt as if they were more than isolated pop gems and actually belonged to a longer narrative. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Mamma Mia.......2007-03-22

I have not stopped playing this cd. It is just great! It makes any trip in my car most enjoyable Happy I bought it!

Mamma Mia Musical CD.......2007-03-21

This is a grand list of songs from the original musical when it was first introduced in England. The songs from ABBA are very recognizable even if you haven't seen the show. But, making a trip to NY to see the Broadway production is a plus. ENJOY!

JUST GREAT MUSIC.......2007-03-08

I RECENTLY SAW THE SHOW MAMMA MIA IN LAS VEGAS. ALWAYS LIKES THE MUSIC OF ABBA, AND THOUGH THE PLOT WAS THIN, THE MUSIC WAS WELL PERFORMED. IN THIS PARTICULAR ALBUM, THE ENGLISH ACCENTS WERE A BIT MUCH, BUT THE SONGS WERE GREAT. ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC, ABBA.

Mamma Mia.......2007-01-29

Every time I hear the music and songs it brings back memories of seeing the Broadway Show

Not good at all.......2007-01-09

This is not what we wanted. The British accents throw it was off. We just saw it in NY and this is not what we were looking for.

Excellent transaction. Would not hesitate to buy again from this seller. Product was delivered promptly and as described.

good memories for me and fun "new" songs for my children.......2007-06-27

We had ordered this for "The Dukes of Hazzard" theme song for our 4yr old and our whole family has fallen in love with the cd. It makes me want to share some of the old fun and simple shows with my children. I forgot about some of those shows. It brings back good memories for my husband and me and the songs are new and exciting for our children. It's a nice change from children's cd's, but our children still think it's fun. The sound quality is good and the songs included on the cd are a great mix. I would definately recommend this one.

Album Description

From their arrival in 1992 with the 8x-platinum "CORE," Stone Temple Pilots have consistently been among the forefront of modern rock `n' roll artists. With each album, the California-based quartet - Scott Weiland, Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo, and Eric Kretz - has pursued their own unique musical vision, an inspired sonic approach merging metallic riffs and baroque pop melodies with a punk-fuelled energy and a gift for psychedelic experimentation. As a result, Stone Temple Pilots have sold more than 20 million albums worldwide, and they rank among the top three most successful bands to emerge in the 1990s (along with Nirvana and Pearl Jam). Among their many accolades, Stone Temple Pilots received a "Best Hard Rock Performance with Vocal" Grammy Award for their #1 rock smash, "Plush." Other honors bestowed upon the band over the years include two American Music Awards, one Billboard Music Award, two Billboard Video Awards, and an MTV Video Music Award. In 2001, the band received a Grammy Award nomination in the "Best Hard Rock Performance" category for "Down" (from "No. 4").

Great Overview of STP, but Poor Version of Acoustic Plush.......2007-06-02

This disc has a good collection of STP's songs. If you've heard STP on the radio and never got around to buying one of their albums, this will give you pretty much all of the songs that you've heard before. Hardcore fans of STP will probably already own the individual albums these tracks are from. My only complaint with this disc is that the acoustic version of Plush sounds like it wasn't recorded directly from the sound boards live at their MTV unplugged session. It sounds like it was run through a TV first, with the requisite TV hum. It's a jarring change from the previous track. I suppose when they play that song on the radio, it's not nearly as noticeable as when you're blasting it from a CD.

casual.......2007-03-20

If your a casual fan of STP and know them by their hit songs this cd is perfect for you. But if you're serious you'd probably collect the cd's one by one. I love Sour Girl, anyway I don't know why these songs got airplay they're actually pretty good, the radio stations in my town only play crap.

Great CD, if you don't already have STP in your collection.......2006-08-28

I bought this CD for the acoustic version of Plush. Unfortunately, I did not pay attention to the other titles, only to find that this was a "best of" CD.

A nice piece of 90's rock nostalgia.......2006-06-29

While the 1990's had several grunge / alternative bands, STP is one of key bands of the decade. During that decade, they earned 17 platinum records. While they sadly broke up like other bands, this CD is a fitting tribute to their great work.

Songs such as "Plush", "Interstate Love Song", and "Trippin' on a hole..." are all here. While one could purchase Core or Purple, the #1 chart toppers from those CDs are all compiled neatly here. It even includes an acoustic recorded on MTV's Headbanger's Ball.

I admit I am not a diehard fan, but this CD deserved a good review. If you have fond memories of Stone Temple Pilots or 90's rock in general, this is worth buying.

Great, but not perfect.......2006-05-29

I just recently got into Stone Temple Pilots after hearing Big Empty on the radio. I immediately went out and got this. it's a great CD but not perfect. I love Vasoline, Big Empty, Plush, Big Bang Baby, Interste Love Song, All In The Suit You Wear, and Days of the Week. Down, Wicked Garden, Creep, and Suor Girl are also excellent songs. Lady Picture Show is passbale but Trippin On A Hole In A Paper Heart and Sex Type Thing are forgettable. Still pick it up if you're a casual fan or haven't heard All In The Suit You Wear and Plush (acoustic). Great CD.

First time collection on CD!

The classic Rodgers & Hart "Pal Joey" album also features a standout performance from a young Elaine Stritch singing her showstopper "Zip." Digitally Remastered.

Customer Reviews:

with a song in my heart/pal joey sound tracks.......2007-03-31

I actually was so pleased to see a CD available because I have been longing for the movie "with a song in my heart" to become available on VHS and then on DVD, and it never has, so now at least I can enjoy the songs from the movie. The cast track from Pal Joey was just an added bonus.

With A Song In My Heart CD.......2007-03-19

I saw the film, "With A Song In My Heart" when I was twelve or thirteen years old and have wanted the sound track for many years. As an impressionable teenager in the 1950s, I have collected over time many of the films from that time on VHS or DVD, to satisfy my memories of the period. I regret that this particular film is not available on VHS or DVD, but, this CD is the next best choice. It is really enjoyable to hear the richness and depth of the voice of Jane Froman, who was one of the best singers of the time. I can still recall many scenes from the film and this CD revives the memories so well.

A Jane Froman double feature........2006-09-16

This DRG CD pairs two recordings starring Jane Froman.

WITH A SONG IN MY HEART

Susan Hayward played Jane Froman in the film but Froman herself dubbed the vocals. This album of songs was originally issued as a 10" Lp. None of the tracks are taken from the film: They are all studio re-recordings. Later, Capitol re-released it as a 12" LP with two extra songs added. It is that expanded [program included here. Froman is in great voice, though the orchestrations are overly lush and string heavy. Still, the songs include such standards as "It's a Good Day", "Get Happy", and "Embraceable You" making for an enjoyable mini-concert.

PAL JOEY

Capitol's cast album of the 1952 revival has long been a collector's item. The original Lp was deleted in 1960 and did not resurface until Broadway Angel released it on CD (briefly) in 1993. As the stars of the revival Harold Lang and Vivienne Segal had already made a studio cast album for Columbia - an album that helped inspire the revival - they were unable to re-record their songs for Capitol, and the label turned to Jane Froman and Dick beavers to fill in. The revised orchestrations sound dated now, but here is a chance to hear Elaine Stritch singing "Zip" and to enjoy the lusty voice of Helen Gallagher early in her career.

In the end it's the WITH A SONG IN MY HEART selections (making their debut on CD here) that make this CD worthwhile. For PAL JOEY the studio recording (available from SONY) is preferable, however if one is so inclined you can assemble your own cast album of the '52 revival by combining tracks from both releases.

"Pal Joey's" Pal.......2006-07-30

While the legubrious and over-orchestrated songs from the film "With a Song in My Heart" are typical of their era (and Jane Froman's stilted renditions are what once stood for emoting) the "Pal Joey" cast recording is an absolute delight. The orchestrations are bouncy and jazzy in a way that has long been forgotten, and the performances (except for the aforementioned Ms. Froman, whose Vulgnarian renditions are at times quite disconcerting, and who hits the sonic notes like lazer beems but misses the emotional ones by a country mile) are exceptional. Helen Gallagher deserved her Tony from the evidence of this recording, with Elaine Stritch not far behind her. But the overall impact surpasses any recording of "Joey" including the historic one that lead to this revival. There's energy, intensity and a whole lot of fantastic song writing (leave it to to Rogers and Hart) to satisfy any musical theater fan. A must have for anyone who loves "Old Broadway."

another great twofer from DRG.......2004-01-21

Jane Froman was one of the top vocalists of her era. Froman's greatness is celebrated in this new 2-on-1 album, which comprises the film soundtrack of WITH A SONG IN MY HEART as well as the 1952 Broadway revival cast album of PAL JOEY.

WITH A SONG IN MY HEART was the life story of Jane Froman, with the lovely Susan Hayward in the lead role. Froman herself supplied the singing for the film. Numbers include "It's a Good Day", the bittersweet and humorous "They're Either Too Young or Too Old", "Blue Moon", "Get Happy", "Tea for Two" and "I'm Thru with Love".

The 1952 Broadway revival of PAL JOEY was the result of the huge success of a studio album released by Columbia the year before (which featured Vivienne Segal reprising her original role of Vera and Harold Lang as Joey). Segal and Lang headlined the new revival with Helen Gallagher (SWEET CHARITY, HAZEL FLAGG) as Gladys Bumps and Elaine Stritch (ON YOUR TOES, GOLDILOCKS) as reporter Melba Snyder.

Having already recorded their roles for the Columbia album, Segal and Lang saw little need in re-recording them for the revival album on the Capitol label. Instead, the roles of Vera and Joey were covered by Jane Froman and Dick Beavers.

The cast album suffers on many levels. First, the absence of Segal and Lang is quite distracting, and secondly the new Overture can't even compare with the scintillanting original.

The Columbia studio album is the version to buy in addition to this, though both albums have their strong and weak points. As per usual, Elaine Stritch brings her impressive and formidable comic timing to the fore in the show-stopping "Zip", and Helen Gallagher's silvery voice is perfect for "That Terrific Rainbow".

A fine addition to your collection. [DRG 19054]

The Skeleton Key - sounds of the old South.......2007-04-11

Dark, stormy listening to take you to the marshlands of New Orleans - at times, clearly a soundtrack, but with tracks from the likes of Robert Johnson and the hoodoo beats of Iko Iko, you'll suddenly feel an inkling for Gumbo like a true bayou-dwelling Creole.

contains every compositional piece from the movie.......2006-08-04

This CD contains what I thought was every compositional piece from the movie. I was hoping the CD in general would be a little more up-beat and personally I found it a little bit boring to listen to. Listen carefully to the music of the movie becuase that is exactly what you get.

good soundtrack.......2006-01-13

If you are fan of the blues, or you simply enjoy eerie instrumental tunes, this soundtrack is for you.
It is very rare for me to find a soundtrack that contains all the songs i liked from a movie.This is the case! It even has Papa Justify's conjuration of sacrifice, those drums really take you to New Orleans Hoodoo streets. A great complement for the fans of the movie .

Review from Equalmusic.com.......2005-10-28

If you are jonesing for the way New Orleans' used to be or are kicking yourself hard because you never made the pilgrimage down before the recent tragedy, then the soundtrack to The Skeleton Key is your best bet. Like the movie, the soundtrack transports the audience into the bayou culture with such ease that at times it's almost hard to believe that you're not in fact below the Mason-Dixon Line. Released on Varese Records, it is the perfect accompaniment to the film.

Composer Edward Shearmur and the Hollywood Studio Symphony bring the flick to life with their bone chilling orchestrations that can creep you out even in the light of day. Those who dig the horror aspect of the film will be pleased with the inclusion of "Conjure of Sacrifice," a spoken track key to the movie's plot. However, the real reason to buy this release is not for its freaky facets but for its spotlight on a few of the most influential blues artists of the twentieth century.

For anyone beginning to cultivate an interest in blues, this is a great foray into the genre and its heavy hitters. First off is Robert Johnson's "Come On In My Kitchen." Johnson, who many have dubbed the father of modern rock and roll, delivers his legendary take on Delta Blues with perfection. Mississippi Fred McDowell, master of the slide guitar, whether it be bottleneck or the apocryphal steak bone, lends his "61 Highway Blues" with a kind of raw integrity.

My vote however, goes to celebrated gospel musician, Blind Willie Johnson. His "God Moves On The Water" with its crackly sound quality, delivers a sucker punch to the soul. Johnny Farmer's "Death Letter" is easily the best track the recording has to offer. Farmer, the only bluesman on the disc still alive and kicking it, loans an infectious ditty that seeps into the skin and refuses to be washed away. Haunting and beat driven, the song is given a modern remix by southern rapper, Organized Noize. The marriage of Delta and hip-hop here is flawless.

Of course there are a few missteps and oddities. Blackbud's "Barefoot Dancing" is a jarring departure from the easy bayou theme. The song is ill suited to both movie and soundtrack, a definite skipper. As is Joe Washburn's "The Goldrush," which despite its melodic back music has a whiny quality that's hard to overlook. "Do Watcha Wanna" by Rebirth Brass Band is an interesting addition. It is a lively big band song that puts one in the mood for Mardi Gras. A rare gem is The Dixie Cups' version of the old Indian Mardi Gras chant "Iko Iko." Although given sinister connotations in the film, it is a fun and upbeat addition to the disc.

Seeped in New Orleans' jazz and Cajun music, the CD captures the music of The Big Easy and its surrounding parishes with forthright conviction. With the latest disaster still a fresh wound, the soundtrack as well as the film is jarring in ways that have nothing to do with the practice of voodoo. However, it is its ability to elegantly capture the culture and feel of the place that make both worth looking into. If only for a little while New Orleans's is returned to its former splendor through the music it has become known for. I suggest seeing the movie first then checking out this superb auxiliary.

Spooky good fun!.......2005-09-01

I bought this soundtrack mostly for the song that played during the opening and end credits, "Death Letter" by Johnny Farmer (with some fun added drum beats and enhancement by Organized Noize). The song (as well as the rest of the soundtrack) was mixed by Chris Fogel. The rest of the soundtrack is a mix of old bayou songs and Edward Shearmur's shamelessly delicious score. It's spooky with a taste of the old South. It's a lot of fun and one of the most entertaining soundtracks I have heard in a while.

Customer Reviews:

Buy it or I'll come to your home..........2006-11-12

I first discovered AG thru the Ronstadt records in the mid 70s, which were largely him on guitars and keys (You're No Good, Heat Wave, When Will I be Loved). His incredible gifts made these songs stand out.When he released his first couple of solo albums I was all ears and as a guitar player, strived to duplicate his sound. The songs were simple, musically very rich, and very listenable. After his 4th album, Whirlwind, I kinda lost track of him. I recently hooked up w/ him again, and listened to a lot of his 90s stuff, which is a bit more complex, but still great. After a couple of listens, songs like KING OF SHOWBIZ and CAN ANYBODY SEE YOU are right up there w/ LONELY BOY and HEARTACHES IN HEARTACHES. All are included here. The (at this point) happy postscript is I met the man, and am now playing in his band! He really is brilliant. Dont let the simple melodies fool you- the chords underneath are complex and many. BUY THIS CD!!

Two good reasons.......2005-10-11

for singles fans to buy this CD: 1) The long version of Lonely Boy. The radio station issued 45 sounds like a bad edit at the end and cuts a great guitar lick from Gold. 2) Never Let Her Slip Away. One of those singles that got lost in the glut of releases in the late 70's. Gold's a real talent, and the liner notes reveal many facts you'll be surprised to learn. There's more to his story than Thank You For Being A Friend.

good but..........2003-10-29

this is a very good greatest hits compilation but i really wish his album "what's wrong with this picture" would be released.

Buy it!!!!!.......2000-12-20

Andrew Gold is a class songwriter in the same league as Billy Joel or Christopher Cross. His music is moving, real and genuine. If you love popular music in its highest, most original form buy this album and sit back and enjoy - life isn't so bad after all!!

One of the best CDs I've ever heard.......1999-04-16

In my opionion Andrew Gold is one of the greatest underrated singers, musicians, songwriters, producers, engineers, ... of our time. This album contains all of his big hits from the 70s, 80s and 90s. If you are fond of pop music this is the ultimate album. If your looking for light rock music with a dash of country, this is it. Do you like heartbreaking love ballads then this album is a must for you. This CD is simply THE BEST!

Based on Christopher Buckley's eponymous novel, Thank You for Smoking cynically and gleefully sends up the more PC aspects of our times. The first nine tracks are all golden oldies culled from a time--mostly the 1940s and 1950s--when smoke getting in your eyes was considered romantic, not second-hand poisoning, such as the Platters' version of Jerome Kern's "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes"). Those familiar with kd lang's version of "Smoke Rings" will love the Mills Brothers' earlier version from 1932. The track is actual typical of the album, which not only offers those-were-the-days takes on smoking, but almost as many lessons on vocal styling. Group harmonies by the aforementioned Mills Brothers and the Swingle Singers' take on Bach's "Little Organ Fugue," for instance, are dazzling, while Patsy Cline ("Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray") and Otis Redding ("Cigarettes and Coffee") shine solo. In a completely different register, Jerry Reed's 1972 ode to addiction, "Another Puff," is punctuated by unappetizing coughs; Reed rasping lines "Give it to me! Give it to me! I love it! I love it! I love it!" and "You quit smoking, that'll leave more for me!" are followed by a maniacal laugh. The last four instrumental tracks consist of Rolfe Kent's original score; they maintain an appropriate lounge-lizardy mood but pale in comparison to the nuggets that precede them. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Absolutely one of Don Moen's very best!!!.......2007-01-12

Each of the selections in Don Moen's Thank You Lord create a wonderful worship experience. Don's integrity and love for the Lord show in his warm and tender voice. This CD is one that will continue to provide blessings for the listener over and over again!

Great Live Album.......2006-10-04

Super album with some outstanding music. Several songs just caught me the first time I heard them, such as 'Arise', 'Creator King' and 'Throne of Praise.' I don't normally get so caught up in an album like this one - I've heard a lot - but this guy just keeps coming up with new and outstanding music. God bless you Don! May He continue to keep those creative juices flowing!

By the way, does anyone know who that female vocal is that sings on this album - specifically on 'Creator King'? WOW! Can she sing! Would like to hear whoever it is do her own album.

Wonderful, Amazing songs of Praise to the LORD of LORD's.......2006-04-27

It was only recently I got to know about Don Moen, but ever since then, I have really enjoyed all of Don's songs, and trust me they have really inspired me, and today I'm one of Don's biggest fans.

As a Christian and a believer of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, it's an amazing experience to watch Don's concerts, as it really touches the heart of the listener, and that experience is far beyond words, so amazing.., thank you LORD.

Thank you Don for obeying the word of the Almighty GOD.., Thank you for sharing the love of our LORD JESUS through your songs and praise of worship.

May GOD bless you

** If you are a Christian or a gospel song lover, this is a MUST.

thank you lord.......2005-03-31

i highly recommend this cd is very good

Another melodic winner.......2004-10-11

Moen seems to have been around forever as a Christian song writer and worship leader. Perhaps that's why he doesn't seem to get a lot of respect...his name doesn't come to mind immediately when one thinks of today's top worship songwriters.

But he doesn't do his thing for respect, of course. And he's amazingly consistent.

Thank You Lord is the follow-up to I Will Sing, a brilliant live-in-concert worship recording that isn't easy to follow up. But Moen manages to pull it off with his usual smooth vocals and very strong pop arrangements. True, the guy goes to the well too often with dramatic change-of-key climaxes to his songs...that tends to dilute their power a bit...but the songs are so well crafted you can't help but come to a worshipful place.

For me, the standouts are the title track (it's brought me near tears a few times) and This Is Your House. Both should find a place in any church willing to look beyond the Matt Redmans and Chris Tomlins of this world.

Declan Growing Up.......2007-07-10

Declan has grown up and is now a young teenage singer with the same wonderful voice that captivated millions when he was first discovered.

Declan can still sing with the best and does a fantastic rendition of "Angel" this boy singer will always be a favorite of mine and I am in his debt for his ability to make me think of "being Home Once again" .

Declan u deserve all the plaudits and awards that are coming to you. I will always remember you singing "Why" as a young kid with such passion and feeling , many an adult would do as well to think even just a little about why , and maybe we would all be a better person.

Another Heintje perhaps.......2007-04-24

I first heard of Declan through a Bee Gees site where it was noted he recorded two of their songs for this Album - Saved By The Bell (Robin Gibb) & Only One Woman (Written by the Bee Gees for their cousin Graham Bonnet & Trevor Gorden [The Marbles]). Heard both tracks from an online site and loved them so much, decided to buy the whole album.

I collect all Gibb related songs and have many versions of these two but I must say, Declan has done them better than most. I agree with some other comments here that some of the production / lyrical content etc may not be to the highest standards but this will improve as Declan ages and gains more control of his career.

I refer to the Dutch singer Heintje (though many believe he is German)in my title because that's who he reminds me of. A young man with an excellent pure voice; hughly popular in Germany and throughout most of Europe, just as his predecessor was around 40 years ago (man am I showing my age. If history repeasts itself, Declan is in for a long and hughly sucessful career. Go for it and enjoy the ride.

Declan's BACK!!!!!.......2007-03-11

NOW it's available thru the American Amazon!!! When I first heard about this album, I discovered it would be available thru Amazon.de, the German equivalent of this site. I ordered it on the day it was released in Germany, but it did not get here until near the end of February. So much for improved international shipping.

Why I seem to like younger singers is something that I have never figured out. I found out about Declan quite by accident, shortly after his first album was released, when I was using KaZaA, (which is so inundated with spyware now, don't use it!)and looking for Billy Gilman songs which weren't on One Voice, and it gave me one of his songs by accident, and I LOVED IT! I soon found his first album for sale on eBay, though I had a little trouble with the inter-country currency transaction (it came from UK), which demonstrates why this planet should have a single currency. I've been enjoying his first album, as well as his Tell Me Why single, which contains a version of Auld Lang Syne, which cannot be found on his first album, ever since then. Then a few months back, I found out about this album!
It has been three years since then 9-year-old Declan Galbraith released his debut album (rather long slump there.) but the wait has not been in vain! His voice has matured somewhat, giving indications he is entering adolescence, ie: the Bane of a great young voice. Look at what happened to Billy Gilman!
But his selection of songs is a wonderfully eclectic collection, including two favorites of mine; "Starry Starry Night", which I first heard performed by Josh Groban, and "Bright Eyes", originally presented to me by the beautifully voiced Joseph McManners. Hearing these songs made me fall in love all over again! :)

Other songs on this great album include "Angel", "Love of My Life", "Tears in Heaven", and several other great hits, which will provide you with much enjoyment. You can check the German Amazon for audio samples, if you want to hear them.

Still, I hope Declan doesn't take too long for his next album! The same goes for my other top favorite boy singer from the UK, Joseph McManners!
Keep 'em coming, guys, before time ruins those wonderful, clean, pure, young voices!

Fantastic album.......2007-03-04

If you were to take a 9 year old boy and have him sing in St.Paul's cathedral to the Queen of England on the occasion of her Jubalee, support Elton John on stage in front of 25,000 people, break a Gueness record for a supporting chorus of 9,000 children singing "Tell me why", you will have Declan Galbraith. Enough said.

An understandably imperfect album .......2007-03-04

Yes, thank you indeed, Declan, particularly to all the solicitors and agents whose restrictions made it impossible for one of the most amazing young talents to record for the last four years.

Declan doesn't yet have full content control, but this situation should improve in the future. It is pretty clear that he was not the one who decided the "House of the Rising Sun" lyrics were age-inappropriate, or that alternate lyrics about a man who failed to become a king because of sloshing down a few too many drams of stout are somehow preferable. It's been the ruin of many a poor song, and Lord, I know this is one... Maybe after this album, a shortage of fresh material will no longer be a problem?

Production goes a little astray in a few places. The most grating are the incessant triangle pinging and the disembodied German voice in "David's Song." If you really need a recitation of some kind, please use Declan's voice, and give him something worth saying!

The hugely over-covered "Sailing," "Tears in Heaven" and "Bright Eyes" -- well dope slap me. These are as good as anything I've ever heard, including the originals. The lyrics of "An Angel" remain unchanged and sappy as ever, so why can't I get this tune out of my head? While Declan is good, very good, at the ballads such as "Love of My Life" and "Vincent," he has the kind of control and range to excel with the grand and pretentious "Nights in White Satin" as well. He clearly hasn't found his groove yet. A few experimental tunes at the end, such as "Last Unicorn" and "Where Did Our Love Go" didn't really fit this album, but so what? They are well done, even if an odd way to finish.

A word of warning, Declan already has a distinctive style, with accurate enunciation and a slightly nasal tone that would work well (shudder and choke!) for country music. It is not excessive, but some will love it and others -- not. Perhaps it is an acquired taste. Well, I for one have acquired it. This album is not quite there with "Dark Side of the Moon", "Kind of Blue" and "Sergeant Pepper's" in terms of perfection, but the elements are waiting to happen. I can't wait for the next album.

Great collection of songs.......2007-04-22

I can recall this band when i was a child having alot of hits.Some of the songs i remember from those days were S.O.S. and Waterloo.My mum bought some of their albums and i just loved a heap of their songs.By the late 70's i started ignoring them as they got so much attention by the media.But i still liked alot of their tunes.Radio stations seemed to ignore this band alot in the 80's here.But i heard some of their songs and after so many years of not hearing them they sounded damn good,so i went and got a few albums.This was 1989 and i got right into them again.I always hoped this band would get back together,but the news is that they will not.Thats a shame,but there is so much music to reflect on.Every now and then i play their songs,Some of my favorites are the 2 i mentioned and Honey Honey,I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do ,Mamma Mia ,Fernando ,Ring Ring ,The Winner Takes It All ,Under Attack , Hasta Manana and Thank You For The Music.There is also a stack of other songs i like.This is a good collection of their songs.

Sweden rules! .......2007-01-10

This is a magnificent box set. It's one of the best box sets out there. Every ABBA hit is here, and then some. ABBA may be the greatest pop group ever. Every album they did is represented, and it even has rare singles and B-sides that are as good as the songs that ABBA is well known for. ABBA got a lot of flak (and still does occasionally) from "serious" music circles, because their music was so popular around the world (not so much here, though. Contrary to popular belief, ABBA had only 3 top ten hits in America, the rest of the world adored them, even to this day). It's not easy to put together great pop music like this, and to do it so consistently and better with each successive album. All ABBA's albums (including their really early ones) are represented here. It's definitely worth the money.

WONDERFUL!.......2006-07-02

This box set is awesome- 66 songs! ABBA Undeleted is one of my favorite tracks because it's the only way to hear ABBA's unfinished/unreleased songs. So they are songs you've never heard. How fun! In all, (including ABBA Undeleted songs) there are 80 songs. Also, there is a 66-page booklet!
Best songs: Dream World, Elaine, Burning My Bridges (Burning My Bridges is a country song), and You Owe Me One.
I would also reccommend listening to the previews of the songs to be sure you like the box set. ENJOY PLEASE!!!

Musical Genius.......2006-03-30

ABBA has composed without a doubt many many flawless, perfectly crafted pop songs. I don't think there is one bad track on this entire box set. Buy this. You will not be disappointed.

Understated & Underrated - Pop of the Highest Order and Precision.......2005-11-21

Having been exposed to Abba during my youth in the 70's, I realized how profound their influence has been on my sense of music scope and appreciation. Before the unoffical 'ressurection' and revival of everything Abba in pop circles during the early to mid 90's, I stumbled upon a cassette of their greatest hits and gave it a cursory listen. It was at that point I realized that they had a LOT more dimension than what I initially gleaned from radio and previous exposure.

I was unable to find anything on cd at my record store at the time (this was summer of 1992) excepting an import of 'Abba -The Singles' which served nicely. Then of course came the second coming of Abba of sorts with 'Abba Gold' and such and then finally this box set "Thank You For The Music".

Most would say that a box set would likely be a bit superfluous and only for a hardcore fan. That assesment may be correctly stated but anyone who is an afficianado of popular music in general would likely benefit from the exposure this collection has to offer. I won't go on and say every song is superb - there are some 'throwaways' on the last disc. But it warrants the 5 (*****) star review on the merits of the sheer expansiveness and breadth of the output of one of pop music's finest.

Everything is captured here - the swirling elegance of 'Dancing Queen' (which transcends the oft affixed 'disco' label to it with a nicely understated piano track in the background while the vocals and violins swirl around it), to the rollicking rush of 'Waterloo', the plaintive melodies of 'S.O.S.', the earnest balladry of 'Fernando'(if you consider it cheesy then you haven't listened to it fully), to the mystique of 'Knowing Me, Knowing You', the great pop harmonies of 'Take A Chance On Me', and onward. To add, some of the musical arrangements and production is of the highest order of magnitude. A pop guilty pleasure to be sure - if one were to consider appreciating music of this caliber something of a secret.

Half the pleasure of listening to this box set is (especially for the unitiated) listening to the material that garnered little or no media exposure. There's many a tune on here that I have found on an equal if not at times superior standing to some of the singles that cracked the charts. To elaborate on them would take up too much space here but that alone makes it worth the 'price of admission'.

To close, it baffles me at times of the seemingly commonly quoted statement of how Abba never made headway in North America. They may have not had the penetration of say, The Beatles or even The Bee Gees and Olivia Newton-John. But they DID get a foothold into American music. Chart statistics will show that they had 14 top 40 hits including 4 top 10s and a #1 (Dancing Queen) here in the US - none too shabby at all. When I started listening to their catalogue, what astonished me was the songs that I had heard from them before of which according to the charts, failed to make impact.

I would venture a guess and state that during their heyday Abba may have been overshadowed somewhat by other musical entities in North America but by no means were they compromised. This stuff is enduring the test of time and has put them in an echelon occupied by very few peers and contemporaries. Don't be surprised if Abba continues to be observed in a new light, perhaps kindling a reappreciation for their efforts as well as converting new legions of fans.

To close 2 words - Great Stuff.
