ABBA: The Singles (non-top 40s)

Thanks for the info. The search really does never end. I
just shot out an email to Carl Magnus Palm for his take
on the veracity of the youtube version. If (and when) he
gets back to me will have this mystery solved! I know
that several Abba tracks featured cold ends for TV
appearances and maybe the youtube version is just one of
those but not an official release.

I've just heard back from CMP who directed me to the
abbaomnibus (which is, apparently, the definitive
resource). When I hear back I'll post-thanks, Aaron, for
your analysis.

Bumping an old thread because I was finally able to
locate a video on youtube with the actual US 7" of Gimme,
Gimme, Gimme. (since the cold end one is obvs. NOT an
official edit) I tried and tried to make the edit, but
I'm not sure if it can be done-the first part is easy
enough, you just remove the first half of the
instrumental opening, it's the second half that seem more
tricky-you have to remove the first half of the
instrumental break starting at 2:52 of the album
version), but it doesn't seem to want to line up with the
videos on youtube (it doesn't help that both of them have
really muddy sound). Has anyone who has the vinyl with
the edit tried to make the edit from the album-can it be
done?
