Note: though the box set Thank You For The Music contains parts of the Swedish and French versions of ‘Waterloo’ and the Swedish, German and Spanish versions of ‘Ring Ring’ the full versions have not been released in Australia. The mix of ‘Take A Chance On Me (Live Version)’ released in some territories was shorter than the Australian single, with less audience applause and on-stage comments, and is different to the mix on ABBA Live.
Many different edited and extended versions of ABBA songs have been released on compilation albums, promotional records and ‘bootleg’ remixes for the dance market. These have not been included in this list, and indeed it would undoubtedly be an endless task to attempt to catalogue them all.
