Has to be this one .

I am not old enough to remember the ABBA years, but this was a big favourite of my parents who would spend their Sunday afternoons spinning records at 33 and a third RPM.

I'm glad they liked them, but where do you get spinning Abba records at 33 RPM, it would have been 45 RPM , most definitely in the 70's.

Wasn’t 33&1/3 the album speed?

Before my time as I was a TDK C90 kind of guy.

God, I don't know to be honest.

Funny though, for me I would say singles in the 70's were 100% 45 RPM, but when you chuck albums into the fray, Oh gosh I am stumped, hmm I will say maybe.

That’s it, 45 for singles and 33&1/3 for LP’s.

Yes, I think without googling it, that is sounding correct mate.

I checked and Google confirms.

Oh good, I am glad you are satisfied, chuffed to bits for you.

If I asked my kids about this they wouldn’t have a clue what I was on about.

Yeah, what kids would know the the wonders of records back in the 70s, 80s, 90.s.

 

[Longlostjack]

Seems appropriate.
This’ll take some beating.

Remember singing something similar on the North Bank back in the day!

I used to quite like them but most of their songs were so overplayed and still are, they ended up driving me nuts, just like all the songs we're on the brink of being subjected to for the next 6 weeks which will make me reluctant to go within 200 yards of any supermarket

This is the kind of bah humbug attitude I can get behind. Having worked in retail during my teen years and being subjected to the same 20 or so Christmas songs on loop for weeks, I am most definitely not a fan.

To stay on topic, I admire ABBA as they clearly wrote and sang very good pop songs, but nothing of theirs ever really clicked with me.
