Ok here they are. Yes, I did all 3 in less than 40 minutes... That means they aren't that great, but I'm not mad about how they've turned out. I've made 3 versions of how I would've liked to see One Of Us released in the UK. The original was absolutely terrible and then Epic proceeded to make a picture disc of it! Nonetheless, it's still easily recognisable. The first one isn't great at all... I think it's different and I like the picture and the blue background goes well with the grey and white. The second one may look a bit too modern for '81. I spent most of the 38 minutes cutting them out and made the background transparent so that I could overlay them over the ABBA logo. I still like it, though. The third one is my favourite. It has the same feel like the cover most releases had and the text has the exact same colour swatch as the text on the original/ugly Epic cover. What do you think of these? Which one is your favourite?

I must also agree! Epic takes the cake of worst picture sleeves (Italy's Epic sleeves for example, like their Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! looks stunning!) Alex, these are totally going on the blog haha! You did such a great job with these! I haven't forgotten about making my interpretation of a better-looking One Of Us Epic design. I'll get working on that. Also, Tony, thank you for the follow on my ABBA Covers blog! I'd love to see some more covers from you to upload there! Your "I Am The City" one is just simply magnificent!

A topic I love: Rare vinyl. I'd love to know what the rarest item in everyone's vinyl collection is. If you feel that you have more than one, please share more! I'll start it off: I'd say the rarest ABBA/related vinyl I own is the South African pressing(s) of People Need Love (7") and The Day Before You Came (12"). I'm so proud to own these.

Thank you all for the support! I will certainly put your creations up on the blog! Love these covers! Especially the more modern twist! I always tend to go for the original feel, but I really like the more minimalist and modern feel.

Hi! I am new to this website but have been a huge ABBA fan since childhood. Recently I discovered this incredible YouTube channel named "Peter Loner" who creates these amazing tracks of original ABBA songs (among other artists like Aretha Franklin, Karen Carpenter...) and turns them into high quality filtered instrumentals with backing vocals and masters them to sound like original soundtracks or instrumentals/demos. I highly recommend that you check Peter's channel out and give him some support! Tell him I sent you, haha!! Here is a list of ABBA Instrumentals & Backing Vocal Tracks he has filtered and created with the links to the videos (so far, Dec. 14 2016): Happy Hawaii My Mama Said Head Over Heels The Piper Ring Ring (Spanish) Why Did It Have to Be Me Hasta Manana Knowing Me, Knowing You Our Last Summer When All Is Said And Done Take A Chance On Me (Amazing Recording Session RARE!) Tiger Does Your Mother Know Felicidad (Happy New Year Spanish) Jag Ar Blott Man Fernando Sitting In The Palmtree S.O.S Voulez Vous (Recording Session)' Waterloo - Honky Tonk Filter Spanish Songs Medley Dancing Queen You will find many more songs on his channel from Agnetha and Frida as well!! Here is the link to his channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCf4H-p5lE-PVlwLagw1kSnw/feed
