This German variant has the same issues as other international copies. Pressing quality is decent, but there is at least one song to much on each side. This extends running time per side - automatically degrades sound quality or sound must be recorded at lower level, or bass has to be cut off earlier - plus that is the reason why there are cuts made to some single versions. To my taste the versions miss a littlebit of "beat" here and there. Fixable with a little EQ boost.
But the collection is great and a very good listen overall - you'll get nearly 99% of the ABBA stuff that is outstanding and catchy.
Find this in good condition for cheap and treat yourself with nearly everything that defines the ABBA vibe.
