It says Portugal on the label, so that's probably what it is. Discogs is not infallible.

As far as I know, there is no other ABBA single where the two songs are from different albums. There are a few: Australia -- So Long / Hasta Manana Kenya -- Nina Pretty Ballerina / Dance (While the Music Still Goes On) Philippines -- Nina Pretty Ballerina / So Long Brazil -- SOS / Dance (While the Music Still Goes On) Brazil -- Dancing Queen / Honey Honey Argentina -- The Winner Takes It All / Hasta Manana Chile -- Move On / Mamma Mia
There may be more ...

Hasta Manana. The three phrases just before the verse starts. Sorry I don't know the correct music terminology.

What a great comparison. Those women have great voices and do make lovely harmony. Topaz is a brilliant example, as you say. One of my favorites, lesser known, is Dirty Back Road.
By the way, the B-52s were originally a quintet. Ricky Wilson, Cindy's brother, was a founding member who died. They then continued on as a foursome.

You mean like if people thought that Hey Hey Helen was a sequel to KMKY?

I would have said "Nina" and "Merry-Go-Round" too, but the one I picked up was "So Long," the sort of ascending whirl (three bars?) to the chorus right before they belt "So Long!"
Edit: Oops, I lost the quote, but this is referring to the Luv song "Ooh Yes."
Edit again: After a second listen, I don't hear the "So Long" bit quite as much. I don't know what I was thinking. Catchy tune, dum dum dum darling.

Amazon came through for me and I finally have the boxed set of colored singles. I don't know what Universal's problem continues to be. Hooray for a small victory though!

Haha! No, I don't think I'll sue. Apparently Universal USA uses a third-party to run its sales department, and they emailed me that they haven't received any shipments of the product from the label (presumably Universal, right?). So basically they said, "Sorry, not our fault." I have no idea why they would set a new date all the way into February though. I may just give up.

She is there. If you listen to the OOPS-version of that Undeleted snippet, you'll hear her. The mixing is similar to One Of Us, you can hardly hear Frida but she is in the mix with more harmonies than you would expect. They are just buried in the mix. Does anyone have a link to this OOPS version? I haven't been able to find it myself.

Universal has done it to me again! Universal UK canceled my order of the Arrival items AFTER they had already sold out, so there was no way for me to re-order them. Okay, so I turned to Universal USA instead, which was also offering the same items (and lower shipping for me!). Expecting to receive my order in early November, I checked their website and the ABBA items have been delayed AGAIN -- this time to 24 February 2017 -- with no notice or explanation whatsoever. While all you wonderful people in Europe and elsewhere have your goodies, I'm now afraid I'll never get mine at all. Or maybe they are manufacturing more and I'll get some second-rate duplicate or something. Sorry, but I had to vent somewhere. I've sent an email inquiry to Universal but I don't expect them to tell me much.
Edit: I don't want to jinx myself, but I forgot I ordered a few of these items from Amazon as a backup and it sounds like that order may still be fulfilled. I hope!

And over here in the USA we wait and wait. Even though I ordered the lot in two batches, I haven't received anything yet other than an email telling me it will be ready by 11 November, over a month late. Why can't they send the order that doesn't include the backordered items? I'm happy for you all, but I'm getting antsy...
Edit: The US branch of uDiscover had pushed all items back to 4 November (not 11) for some reason. But I ordered other items from UK uDiscover and that order is still labeled as pending. Maybe they ship international orders last for some reason.
2nd edit: I also agree with @onlyabba4me that it's getting tiresome with all these reissues, though for now I'm still buying most of them. I don't know how long that will last.

The videos worked on my phone. Thanks for the links! I haven't heard any of these for a long time, so it was nice to become reacquainted. Alan, you should try again.
By the way, I've never been able to hear Frida at all on any version of "Just Like That." Can anyone else distinguish her vocal or her voice anywhere?
