The US Remix from the Waterloo deluxe CD does sound grungy and has NR. I agree with AaronsAmazing that it sounds more like a cassette than vinyl.]]> Thu, 01 May 2025 17:44:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10105&PID=66542&title=ot-abba-ring-ring#66542 <![CDATA[OT: ABBA - Ring Ring : I don&#039;t know but if you&#039;re...]]> https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10105&PID=66540&title=ot-abba-ring-ring#66540 Author: EdisonLite

I don't know but if you're correct (and you very likely are), then I must be remembering another early ABBA song that was taken from vinyl for the US release on CD. Maybe it was "Honey Honey". I do remember that whatever song it was, the US mix had more horns (prominent sax overdubs) in the chorus. The fact that you mentioned prominent saxophone overdubs in "Ring Ring" might have been what threw me off. :)

I believe I read in the liner notes of one of the ABBA CDs (or box sets) that the US single mix of "Ring Ring" was taken from vinyl - because the master tape couldn't be found in the vaults.

Then how come the 2014 deluxe edition still has NR artefacts audible during the fade-out?

It is the same version that is on the 45 that eight year old me purchased in a
supermarket in Maaseik, Belgium, in the summer of 1973. They weren’t even
called ABBA yet. The record is credited to ‘Bjorn & Benny, Anna & Frieda’.]]> Thu, 27 Mar 2025 12:59:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10105&PID=66256&title=ot-abba-ring-ring#66256 <![CDATA[OT: ABBA - Ring Ring : Santi Paradoa wrote:Which version...]]> https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10105&PID=66249&title=ot-abba-ring-ring#66249 Author: AaronsAmazing
