ABBA
LIVE AT WEMBLEY ARENA
UMC/POLYDOR
With ABBA’s critical rehabilitation long since complete, it’s hard to remember how entire musical movements once stood in opposition to them. This live collection, recorded during November 1979, may help undermine such clemency. Not that this isn’t a valuable document of a fine b and worthy of your investment: it’s actually exactly that, a high-octane hits collection performed to an excitably partisan audience at often breakneck speed by top-notch sessioneers.
