The compilation "Greatest Hits" including Fernando - one of ABBA's greatest hits ever - was released all over the world in the spring 1976. The well-known "bench" photo session was used on most of the covers but even the painting of Hans Arnold featured on the Scandinavian releases was used on some issues mostly in Spanish language territories.

On March 26, 1976 the album "Greatest Hits" was released in the UK. The album was issued in two slightly different versions. Both included the current hit "Fernando" but the song had not been planned for release on this album from the very beginning as the single "Fernando" was released at the same time as the first pressings of the album cover were ready in the UK. That's why the title "Fernando" did not appear in the track listing on the cover of the first pressing of the album. A special sticker telling that the album included "extra track - the hit single Fernando" was taped on all covers.

It was ABBA's third UK album which contained 5 previously unreleased in Great Britain songs (from the LP "Ring Ring"). "Greatest Hits" entered the British chart on April 10th and stayed there for... 130 weeks (2,5 years). The highest position was #1 for the first time on May 8 for 9 weeks and the second time on October 16 for 2 more weeks. Great Britain belonged to ABBA....

Ma ker�lt a gy�jtem�nyembe a citroms�rga c�mk�s angol lemez.

�rdekess�ge, hogy ez volt az els� nyom�s Angli�ban �s a Fernando c. sz�m akkoriban jelent meg. A bor�t� m�r k�sz volt �gy a sz�mlist�n ez a dal nem szerepelt.

K�l�n matrica jelezte, hogy a legutols� �j sl�ger is az albumon tal�lhat�.

2.5 �vig volt az angol sl�gerlist�kon �s a Ring Ring albumr�l 5 ott meg nem jelent dalt is tartalmazott.

Mindk�t lemez bor�t�j�n k�v�l van a "parkos" k�p, bel�l pedig nem Hans Arnold grafik�ja tal�lhat�, hanem a fent l�that� �szi k�p.

Most mindk�t kiad�s a gy�jtem�nyem r�sze.
