Overview
While Gold: Greatest Hits had showcased 19 of the group's biggest and most recognisable hits, this left out a number of other sizeable international hits, such as "Summer Night City", "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" and "Angeleyes". These were included here as well as some of ABBA's lesser-known hits from the time when their popularity was declining, such as "Head over Heels" and "The Day Before You Came." Also included are several B-sides and album tracks, plus one previously unreleased track; "I Am the City", dating back to ABBA’s final recording sessions in 1982.
Release
Like Gold: Greatest Hits, a remaster of More ABBA Gold: More ABBA Hits was released in 1999.[4] A 4:27 edited version of "The Visitors" was replaced by the original 5:46 version, while a 3:18 alternate mix of "Lovelight" was replaced by the 3:46 version originally released in 1979.
In 2008 the album was re-released with a different disc and back cover to coincide with the release of the film Mamma Mia!.[5]
