ABBA’s best less well known songs

As Good As New (1979)

A testament to the Andersson/Ulvaeus potency as songwriters: this was only released as a single in Mexico and Argentina, and overshadowed by other more famous songs in the same album, yet was STILL covered in Malaysia, Malay version no less:

Move On (1977)

With any other group, this is definitely single material – but with ABBA this was not even a B-Side:

Arrival (1976)

Incredibly beautiful instrumental, one of only 2 ABBA songs not to contain any lyrics:

Dum Dum Diddle (1976)

Has been my favourite ABBA number for the last 25 years. Released as a single only in Argentina:
