The Singles: The First Ten Years (reissue)

~ Release by ABBA (see all versions of this release, 14 available)

Annotation

Not released before 1986 considering manufacturer.

Booklet includes text describing "The Compact Disc Digital Audio system" in German, English, French and Italian.

It is worth noting that this release included 2 thin sponge foam sheets originally meant to protect the discs. Those sheets would later pose a problem as over the years they would disintegrate (crumble) ruining one or both of the discs' label sides.
