How to tell the original issues from the 1984 replicas?
- All of the 1984 replicas have Label Code (LC 0309) on both A/B labels. On the originals, it doesn't appear on labels before "Take A Chance On Me" (1978) (some sleeves have it though).
- All of the 1984 replicas from "Dancing Queen" onwards have the actual 'backwards B' logo on labels. Some/most of the originals do have a 'backwards B' but no actual logo. Only the two original 7" from 1982 use the actual logo.
- "The Day Before You Came" (1982) has durations on labels as 5'50/4'50, the replica lists them as 5:50/4:50.
- "Under Attack" (1982) appears to be identical to the box set version (or the original isn't submitted yet).
- Images of all 1984 labels can be seen at www.abba4therecord.com/zsingle_collect.php
Additional notes:
- The original plates from the two 1982 7" (with identical labels) were possibly used for this box set (or actual surplus stock from 1982 was used for this box).
