Abba - The Visitors deluxe edition. With unreleased material!

Trying to find a store that is selling it is going to be a BUGGER. You can find the stores who are participating on the Record Store Day website, but as it's limited to 5,000 copies, obviously they aren't all going to be stocking it. And you can't pre-order it.

I have a feeling independent record shops are never going to have as many forty-something homosexuals visiting and/or camping out front as on 21 April!

The bonus track premiered on radio 2 today



I think you'd have to be a fan to be interested, really. But I LOVE it.

[Diddy]

Oh, it was always coming out on April 23, I convinced myself it was on MDNA day but had been bumped

Jolly good!

Stick with the demo. It's not Bjorn ALL the way through. We even get a bit of Agnetha (although not a lead vocal) who never made the final version.

It's lovely to hear the growth of the song over the course of those 8 minutes. The almost acoustic version at the very end is even more haunting than the album version with that most basic of backing tracks.

Perhaps these demos should all be saved up and put on a Rarities album instead of adding to studio albums.

It's a nice idea, but it'll NEVER happen. Not until they have all been used individually to fleece the loons many times over, in any case.

Don't be RIDICULOUS!

It'll be APRIL 2074, to coincide with the CENTENARY of Waterloo winning Eurovision

[Johnkm]

Oh but of COURSE. How silly of me

Had a gander at the DVD the other night. I'd never watched the Late Late Breakfast Show footage on YouTube before. I love Noel Edmonds going in for a welcome kiss with both girls, but Frida only giving him a hand And who could blame her.

Another awkward moment is their lanky superfan Kevin joining them out of the blue for their live singsong of TYFTM at the end. Bet he's chuffed he's now immortalised on an official DVD!

Apart from the shortened intro, I didn't notice a THING of difference with that alternate video of WAISAD to the original. According to the booklet, there's apparently a subtle difference in the way Frida sings "There's no hurry anymore" I shall make a note of that next time!
