Welcome to ABBA Omnibus · Everything ABBA.

Here we are, in the final quarter of 2019, and there is still no sign of those elusive new ABBA recordings. The latest hints, and that's all they are, is that the new songs will be released sometime in 2020, while the "ABBAtar" tour may have been downgraded to a static attraction at a single location. But nothing is definite, and hoefully things will become clearer sooner rather than later.

This year the album Voulez-Vous celebrated its 40th anniversary with a set of stunning re-releases, and we also remember the North American & European Tour, the single 'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)', and the compilation album Greatest Hits Vol. 2, all of which made 1979 one of ABBA's busiest years.

Here at ABBA Omnibus we are collecting the numbers of limited edition releases in fans' collections, for a bit of fun to see how widespread the numbers are. Would you like to join the list? See the FANS section for details.

Disco was a trend, a formula. And it was good at that time to have a song that could fit into that trend - Benny, about 'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnght)', 2006
