Dang!
My ex-wife (and so many others) are "ABBA freaks" and this release knocked her socks off!
Actually not just my ex, all the female staff would get up (stop working) and move around the "office dance floor" when the sound guys put this one on at work (we liked to chill sometimes)
Take the very old skool Abba hits and rework them tastefully and this album is the result, very very good contemporary versions of the old hits
Who were Abbacadabra?
They formed 1991 in UK, have had various vocalists (who do sound VERY authentic, unlike some "sound-alike" ABBA groups that are simply trash, I heard one recently from Sweden - God awful!)
Who reworked these songs (remember this was WAY BACK in 1996)?
Martyn Norris & Richard Cottle
These songs were (and still are) club favs, gets the "oldies" dancing!
You would swear the original group is performing and the strong dance beat is very good, fast Hi NRG but not too fast (remember the oldie's are OLD)
This is official product, not some dodgy "backyard brutus DJ", released here in Australia through Festival Records and I notice that it seems to be pretty difficult to find this version - someone on discogs is asking A$70 for this release!
