ABBA news

On Oct. 30th, Polar Music/UMe will mark the 40th anniversary of Super Trouper, the first of only two albums that ABBA made in the 1980s.

It was their sixth consecutive No.1 in Sweden, a chart-topper around Europe and a US Top 20 album. With the singles, including the title track, "The Winner Takes It All" and "Lay All Your Love On Me," Super Trouper became the best-selling album in the UK in 1980.

Taking its name from a large follow spotlight used on stage, some of the music was rediscovered via the hit musical and film Mamma Mia!

Super Trouper is now presented in an expansive half-speed master, carried out at Abbey Road by Miles Showell, and in keeping with recent releases there is a 7" collector's box and a collectible picture disc set.
