This was the album that began their international stardom
"Waterloo" won ABBA the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest and became a global hit, launching the group internationally.
PLEASE NOTE: The condition of the vinyl is not the greatest but playable (and very enjoyable) ... please read my description below carefully
Abba - Waterloo
RCA Victor Records
Cat# VPL1-4003
Australian release
1974
Cover is in good (minus) condition, no writing, no tears and just light edge wear from handling EXCEPT there is a short seam split top edge near the opening. Someone has previously attempted to tape this but that tape has also disintegrated. I have not attempted further repair.
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in good (minus) condition, visually inspected and I can see numerous light scratches on each side - none appear to be heavy though. Just looking at the vinyl is not a good indication of the sound (especially the older pressings which tend to be much more hardy than modern soft plastics)
I then (with some trepidation!) played the ENTIRE album, every single track, and was pleasantly surprised. The surface noise is definitely above "normal" but there was no significant issues with excessive surface noise or clicks/pops, mainly noticeable in the "silent" period between tracks.
Absolutely NO mistracking!
Nice trip down memory lane with these songs and couple will surprise you, quite upbeat rock instead of pop that they are more well known for (look at the video attached)
Tracks: Waterloo, Sitting In The Palmtree, King Kong Song, Hasta Manana, My Mama Said, Dance (While The Music Still Goes On), Honey Honey, Watch Out, What About Livingstone, Gonna Sing You My Lovesong, Suzy Hang Around
