1982 was ABBA’s final year together as a group. They had originally intended to record a new studio album, like they had done almost every year since they first came together. But as the four members felt the energy run out of the group, they shelved these plans and instead decided to put out a double album collection of their singles from 1973 to 1982. Two brand new single A-sides were included on the album – ’The Day Before You Came’ and ’Under Attack’ – along with several of ABBA’s biggest hits.
