Description
A VERY RARE SECOND ISSUE DANISH PS 1975 ABBA SINGLE ON THE POLAR LABEL - POS 1220.
SIDE A : MAMMA MIA , SIDE B : INTERMEZZO No. 1. THE THICK PAPER SLEEVE IS THE WALLET TYPE, NOT THE FOLDED SHEET TYPE COMMON IN SCANDINAVIA IN THIS ERA, THE SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT AT THE CLOSED EDGES APART FROM A 4 CM FRAGILE NEAR SPLIT ON THE RIGHT EDGE, BUT HAS AGE CREASING AND OPEN EDGE WEAR WITH SIX SMALL VERTICAL TEARS - 1MM -6MM LONG - SEE THE PICTURES - IT IS 50 YEARS OLD !. THE SLEEVE AND LABELS ARE FREE OF WRITING. THE VINYL IS SHINY WITH NO SCRATCHES - BUT HAS A SHALLOW SURFACE MARKS ON BOTH SIDES. IT PLAYS WITHOUT SKIPS AND CLICKS ALMOST AS NEW . THE CENTRE HAS B EEN REMOVED. IT WAS RELEASED IN AUSTRALIA DUE TO DEMAND FOR A FOLLOW UP TO " I DO I DO ", AFTER THE SUCCESS OF THEIR TOUR THERE, & POLAR WERE INITIALLY RESISTENT, BUT EVENTUALLY AGREED AS IT BECAME SUCH A HUGE HIT. IT WAS THEN RUSH RELEASED WORLDWIDE & THERE WERE TWO DIFFERENT B SIDES !. THIS COPY WAS MADE IN DENMARK AND THE FRONT SLEEVE DESIGN IS UNIQUE TO THIS SECOND DANISH ISSUE WITH ABBA IN A PLAIN FONT IN WHITE WITH THE FIRST B MIRRORED . IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND AS DANISH ISSUES SOLD IN SMALLISH QUANTITIES ANYWAY. THERE WAS A FIRST DANISH ISSUE WITH A DIFFERENT FRONT SLEEVE DESIGN WHERE ABBA IS IN A STYLISED TYPEFACE IN RED OR ORANGE AND IS PRE THE SECOND B BEING MIRRORED TO BECOME THEIR NEW LOGO , PLUS THERE'S A SECOND REAR SLEEVE - SEE THE LAST TWO PICTURES (FOR REFERENCE ONLY).
ODDLY THIS SINGLE WAS NOT OFFICIALLY RELEASED IN SWEDEN !.
THE PRICE REFLECTS THE RARITY OF THIS SINGLE BUT ALSO THE FACT THAT THE CENTRE HAS BEEN REMOVED AND THE WEAR ON THE SLEEVE.
THIS SECOND ISSUE MAMMA MIA SINGLE WAS THE FIRST SINGLE IN DENMARK TO CARRY THE NEW ABBA LOGO WITH THE MIRRORED B.
(S19)
