ABBA: The Album is the fifth studio album by the Swedish pop group ABBA. It was released in Scandinavia on 12 December 1977 through Polar Music, but due to the massive amount of pre-orders, the UK pressing plants were not able to press sufficient copies before Christmas 1977 and so it was not released in the UK until January 1978.
