More ABBA Gold: More ABBA Hits was another compilation album by Swedish pop group ABBA. Released in 1993, it was the follow-up to the highly successful ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits, released the previous year.

ABBA Gold showcased nineteen of the group's biggest and most recognisable hits, but this left out a number of other sizeable international hits, such as "Summer Night City" and "Angeleyes" to name but a few. Also included are some of ABBA's lesser-known hits from the time when their popularity was declining, such as "Head over Heels" and "The Day Before You Came." As well as this are several popular B-sides and album tracks, plus "I Am the City", recorded in 1982 but had never before been released.

[edit] 25th anniversary edition

Like ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits, a 25th anniversary edition of More ABBA Gold was released in 1999. A 4:30 edited version of "The Visitors" was replaced by the original 5:49 version, while an alternate mix of "Lovelight" was replaced by the version originally released in 1979. In Australia, the track list was changed. As "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" and "Ring Ring" had been added to the domestic version of ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits, these, along with "Lovelight" and "Cassandra", were removed. Instead, the three songs that had been removed from the domestic version of ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits - "Super Trouper", "I Have a Dream" and "Thank You For The Music" - were included. The disc is also coloured gold and there is a booklet with notes, photos and discography.
