Most of the tracks are copied directly from the officially released box set Thank You For The Music.

The genuine rarities are commonly available unreleased tracks that are on almost every other bootleg CD out there.

I'm not surprised they've pulled this. It's mostly a copy of commercially available material.

I guess stuff like this is inevitable but I wonder if whoever placed it on ebay will face criminal proceedings?

Maybe they would change their mind then and release all the stuff officially.
Good idea, but I guess as far as ABBA is concerned they only think about Mamma Mia. :roll:

I got a copy a few years ago for a present. Nice to have but I wouldn't call it a rare release.

But still nice to have if you are a hard core fan.

Carbuncle,

Disc one tracks 1-10, 12-13, disc two tracks 1-5, 7-24 are available on the box set Thank You For The Music; disc one tracks 1-2 are bonus tracks on the 2006 remaster CD of Bjorn and Benny's Lycka album; disc one track 11 is on disc two of The Definitive Collection (these last three tracks in much better condition than on this pirate CD); disc one track 3 is on the Swedish CD 18 Hits; disc two track 6 is on More ABBA Gold. So all bar the 6 "bonus tracks" are legitimately available.

Now please understand that this message is not intended as a confession of any "sin", but I have an Opus 10 CD set. And even if it's a bootleg, I like it. (Will a blessing absolve me?)

Similar to other compilations, it gives me one more copy of songs I already have like Fernando, and I must have at least 10 discs containing Fernando - in several languages. But when the rarities are added it make good listening on two CDs.

For the last four years I was commuting monthly to China; where I could buy any CD or DVD ever released for $1 of $2; although I paid dearly for Opus 10. I quickly learned that the quality of the media on bootlegs can be poor, but Opus 10 is pretty good. If you come across one for a reasonable price, it's a suitable addition to a collection.

Bootleggers and their customers will surely suffer the consequences. Now....or later.

This CD might not be a direct copy of a commercial release, but most of its contents are copied from one (the Thank You For The Music box set).
