Voulez-Vous is Abba's Eurodisco album, and if you decide to go there, be ready for some serious histrionics. Typical of the record's wall of sound is "Does Your Mother Know," in which the disco pulse leads into power guitar riffs laid out over a boogie piano. The sound is equally mammoth on the title track (which had been partially recorded in Miami with disco group Foxy), "Summer Night City," and "If It Wasn't for the Night." Released in 1979, the album showcases the band at its most jet-setting, top-of-the-world glamorous. This CD's bonus tracks include the infamously campy "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" and "Lovelight," the latter the B-side to the "Chiquitita" single. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

. . . And this item does not let me down. What can I say? I like ABBA's music and when one is so prejudiced for something, it's hard to find fault with their products.
If you like ABBA, you'll most likely enjoy this CD.

Voulez-Vous is generally regarded as ABBA's disoo album. But ABBA's music covered a lot of ground. Their songs often dealt with the theme of childhood. ABBA had a special relationship with children. Chiquitita demonstrates their capacity for sympathy, a shoulder to cry on. They gave the publishing on this song to UNICEF. When an article came out saying they might move to America, children all over Sweden reacted with tears. Chiquitita mean little girl. I bought this album in the summer of 1979 ... Read More

This album would be perfect, were it not for the two drippy ballads. No matter how I try, I cannot listen to 'I Have a Dream' or 'Chiquidita' (or however you spell it!). But everything else is dynamic and gleaming.
Agnetha and Anni-Frid sing their hearts out, displaying the fullest extent of their combined talents. Benny and Bjorn's songwriting and arranging make you want to sing and dance along. My husband thinks that there is something really wrong with me that I love ABBA and the Velvet ... Read More

I agree with John (from N.Y.), these 24-bit re-masters of the Abba catalogue were a big letdown. In a side by side comparison, the original discs sounded much better than these. The originals were brighter and plenty full; just like the original album sounded.
On the other hand, these 24-bit discs sound slightly muddy and the high end (which includes acoustic guitars and cymbals) are flat or dead sounding thanks to the no-noise solution. My advice, is to save your money and keep your old discs. ... Read More

Being primarily a lover/collector of heavy metal, hard and progressive rock music, how can I explain why I still have a soft spot for this Swedish music machine. First of all I can say that ABBA was a big part of the music I grew up on. I especially remember being fascinated by the constant presence of the song 'Chiquitita' (among others) pouring out of the radio as well as from stereo and music shop speakers in the late 70's/early 80's. As a 12-year old kid, I amassed most of their albums on cassette before ... Read More
