I could not agree with you more Dads....

All the re-issue albums,greatest hits ect is getting absurd.And has
been for a long time. When ABBA GOLD came out years ago that was
it.It was a great album and a great time that sparked alot of
memories remembering how great they were.I think if they are going to
put out music for people to buy every year they should atleast play a
live show or two just to say thank you.I know Benny would do it.And I
think the girls might...God knows they still look good enough ;) But
Björn getting onstage for a gig....now that's a different story.I'm
not suggesting a show with the four will ever happen because it will
not.Ever. But enough with the same songs every year in a different
package.
