They wrote: 'Another greatest hits .. seriously. Nothing new here just a money grab sadly as only OG fans will pay £95 for a 4 LP set of songs they already have.'

'I can't really see the point of another ABBA compilation. The majority of the tracks on The Singles - The First Fifty Years are on ABBA GOLD and MORE GOLD, and the "singles" from Voyage just don't stand up to comparison. No need to shell out for it.'

'What a absolute rip off £96 for tracks we've already got. And on 140 grm vinyl not the usual 180grm.' 

'£95? Holy crap!'; 'you're going to make me poor!'

The latest compilation album is an expansion of Abba's The Singles — The First Ten Years, which was originally released back in 1982. 

As well as all the popular tracks including Dancing Queen and Mamma Mia, it will also feature songs from the groups final studio album Voyage, which dropped in 2021, as well as additional songs not available on other compilations.

Fans splashing out on the soft cover bound book will also be treated to a 24-page illustrated booklet including liner notes and unseen images of the band. 

However, followers of the group not willing to part with £95.99 can also get their hands on the same compilation on a 2CD special, which will cost them £16.99.

It comes after Abba's Bjorn Ulvaeus revealed back in June that he thinks it is a 'stupid' name and said he and his bandmates – Agnetha Fältskog, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad – really wanted to call themselves 'the Northern Lights'.

Ulvaeus said the Swedish supergroup, who went on to sell more than 385 million records after winning the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest, didn't come up with the name but had it imposed on them.

The 79-year-old said to Rosebud podcast that he didn't like it at the time and his opinion of it hasn't changed.

Ulvaeus added: 'We didn't have a choice in the matter.

'I thought it was such a stupid name. And it is.

'I had thought we should have a cool name like the Rolling Stones, or something like that. The Northern Lights was one of our thoughts – and here we are with Abba.'
