This box set is quite rightly being praised for its sound quality, but a note of caution here. It's not flawless: on my copy, at least, there is some sibilance, most noticeable towards the end of Side B, Record 2 ("I'm A Marionette").

This box-set arrived today and...wow...that’s the best I’ve ever heard ABBA on vinyl. Fantastic deep bass and razor sharp treble. One of the best purchases I’ve made on Discogs so far!

This is an excellent-sounding box set as has been said before. It also contains the majority of Abba's released output. Abba, Arrival, The Album, Voulez-Vous and Super Trouper are here completely. Even some B-sides like Lovelight and Crazy World have been thrown in. The only album tracks missing here are:
- Disillusion (Ring Ring)
- I Am Just a Girl (Ring Ring)
- I Saw It In The Mirror (Ring Ring)
- King Kong Song (Waterloo)
- Love Isn't Easy (But It Sure Is Hard Enough) (Ring Ring)
- Me and Bobby and Bobby's Brother (Ring Ring)
- She's My Kind of Girl (Ring Ring)
- Sitting In the Palmtree (Waterloo)
- What About Livingstone (Waterloo)
Additionally, there are no tracks from The Visitors.
Some random track notes:
- Many tracks have reversed channels as compared to recent CD/iTunes deluxe editions
- "Man In The Middle" doesn't have the vocal effect at 2:26 unlike the album mix.
- "The Way Old Friends Do" begins with applause unlike any currently available digital version of this track - perhaps this version was taken from Super Trouper's album master tape.

Much to everyone’s surprise, if your looking for the best-sounding ABBA recordings, you’ll find them right here. ABBA on CD has been a disaster, as well as the horrid Back 2 Black series, and vinyl box sets. These recordings are from low generation masters, and if you want hear ABBA in all their glory, you will find them right here, in this 5LP box set.
