ABBA haven’t finished their 40th anniversary reissues yet (we are still waiting for The Visitors) but that hasn’t stopped them celebrating the 50th anniversary of their debut Ring Ring with a series of special vinyl editions.

A new 2LP vinyl edition has been half-speed mastered at Abbey Road by Miles Showell and is pressed on 180g black vinyl while all five singles are available as seven-inch picture discs in die-cut sleeves.

Finally, a seven-inch box set features five singles from the album pressed on different coloured vinyl (transparent red, transparent yellow, white, blue and red). These come in the usual lift-off lid box with sleeves incorporating “classic band imagery” from the era.

All these vinyl editions of Ring Ring will be released on 19 May 2023 via UMR/Polydor.
