Thank You for the Music (box set)

Untitled

Thank You For The Music is the title of a box set by Swedish pop group ABBA, released in 1994. It has 66 tracks (separated onto four discs), including songs from the early, pre-ABBA days, such as "People Need Love" and "He Is Your Brother", as well as their most popular and recognisable songs ("Dancing Queen" and "Mamma Mia" etc). The fourth CD includes a host of rarities, most notable being the "ABBA Undeleted" excerpt, which is a medley of various songs that never saw the light of day either as a single or as an album track. It also contains some of the group's songs in different languages.
