Well, we were really dying for this release weren’t we? I was hoping that, at some stage, they might do the coloured vinyl box and picture discs for the Voyage singles but the lack of b-sides (and in most cases decent artwork) means it’s no where near as desirable as those for the historic eight albums.
They could have put these onto one disc couldn’t they? The Little Things artwork on the back of the sleeve.

Each to their own of course..... ( from Bobbys Brother latest post )..
How about splashing out 78 Euros/ £65 on some Christmas baubles.... I've ordered two sets........ not
Honestly are we mugs... sorry if that offends but come on.........
50h anniversary rip off..... again....
I actually don't blame Abba.. it's Universal and marketing... but if you want to spend your hard earned cash.. who am I to say otherwise.. I'm sure they will look fantastic on your Christmas tree... or will they forever stay in the box in some cupboard.... emmmm sarcasm ...

I'm more favourable on this compared to The Singles 50 and most other vinyl singles re-releases, because this is a well-designed goodie and it's not all generic. Mainly I like it because it greets from a better time ABBA-wise. Which makes it bittersweet again.
(Won't be getting it just as any vinyl re-release though, for I don't need them and they're too expensive at that.)

They could have had a sizeable chart hit with Little Things this Christmas, and all they would have had to do is shove any version of Just Like That on the B-side, and we would be ordering in our hundreds/thousands. Add a limited edition picture disc/gatefold sleeve with the extended video version of LT and it would sell even more, making a silk purse out of a sow's ear of a track in a lot of ABBA fans' eyes it seems.They could even appease Benny's quality control by adding 'previously unreleased demo' after the JLT title. The same goes for any of the full-length versions of unreleased songs, it doesn't necessarily have to be JLT.

I agree bjorenny, the JLT B-Side or the LT video version was discussed with the original 2021 single release, which was far below its potential. It's the same now. I however don't see it as a proper release but rather as a marketing goodie, so I only rated the packaging. But I agree, it would have been a perfect way way to present us with an unreleased track (be it JLT, be it Hit By A Train).
