Catalog is the name of the game

Universal/PolyGram will continue to mine the ABBA catalog in 1999. A limited edition of ABBA Gold- Greatest Hits, the disc that has already sold 13 million units worldwide and continues to sell over a million copies per year, was issued on March 29th, 1999.

Digitally remastered in 24-bit from the original multitracks, it features the signatures of the four members on the jewel case and new liner notes by ABBA historian Carl Magnus Palm. This edition will only be available through the end of 1999. A contemporary edition of a singles box issued in 1984 by Epic Records in the U.K. will be re-released by Polydor U.K. on April 5th, 1999. It’s a 29 CD-single package, featuring all of the original U.K. A and B sides, with a bonus disc of Waterloo in Swedish, according to Jackie Stansfield, senior international product manager of Universal/PolyGram International. Packaged in a tin box, the pressing is limited to 20,000 copies.
