Abba audiophile non-remastered

All polydor/polygram cd's from the 80's, in general the best sounding Abba cd's. From Arrival-Visitors go for the Polydor/Polygram. For the "Abba" go with the Polar 1988. For the first two albums, either CSR 2005 or Polar 1988, Swedish pressing, but are very hard to find. Anyone? Compilation: Abba Greatest hits vol. 2 One of the best sounding Abba cd's. Audiophile by Abba standards. Contains the best sounding version of for example: Dancing Queen, Knowing me Knowing you etc. Atlantic cd 16009. Canadian pressing. Abba Polcd-262: Abba "Abba" 1975. POLCD-262 (1988). Audiophile. Best sounding: 1988 Polar [one of the best Abba CD's ever made] Very hard to get-cd. If you're an audiophile Abba listener you know which cd this is.

Hi HVOM,
Wow, thanks for the ABBA. I have theses cd's
myself, and they sound the best - NOT all loud
and compressed and dripping with noise reduction.

Nice that you like it. "The Album" (Polydor) isn't that good due to a bad source which is causing some distortion. The alternative is to go for the 2001 remaster which is based on good tapes but with less dynamics.

Does anyone have Waterloo 1988 Polar (POLCD 252)?

This looks interesting, many thanks! Weird that "remasters" are usually the worst sounding releases, isn't it? Thankfully, there is TPB. :)
