A bootleg (originally called Sweet Dreams Are Made of This) containing performances from a gig at Wembley in London in late 1979 apparently, plus material from a TV special. My initial research suggested it was 1981 - but that was definitely wrong; they're 1979. I couldn't find out much more, however!
What I CAN tell you is that some EQ and remastering brought out the quality nicely and this has proved to be one of the most popular broadcasts I did.
*2018 update*
While
preparing this old show as separate files for a donator to the site, I
found I could now improve the sound quality further, over what I’d
originally done to the recording several years ago. You can now download
this new version (as of 2018) HERE as 1 new 320kbps MP3 file.
If you would like to have separate tagged MP3s, or even lossless files in FLAC format of the new version, head on over to the Donations tab to see how you can obtain these for a very small donation towards the site costs.

The "Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This" bootleg CD is most likely to be a recording of a radio special made in 1981, which contains tracks from the 1979 Wembley concert and the 1981 "Dick Cavett Meets ABBA" TV special.

ReplyDeleteThanks for this. I have another curious live recording of Abba I wanted to restore, which can't possibly be the date it says it is, maybe this page can help me with that too. Cheers!
DeleteHi, got your message, thanks (assuming it was you who sent it!). Those are very interesting - and a lovely remaster was done on them too; they sound great. I'll go through the notes enclosed and compare them with the files I have. Email is flip dot martian at google mail dot com btw. I didn't realise there was no email link on the site - thought there was. I'll fix that. Very grateful!
DeleteIs "Slipping Through Your Soul" a mashup between "Slipping Through My Fingers" and "Hole In Your Soul"??? 🤔
ReplyDeleteSetlist is what was with the original files. Give it a listen and let me know. ;-)
