CAFFE` LATTE` 
TOP 1200 CHOICE TRACKS


#523 DREAM WORLD Abba
"Dream World" was recorded for inclusion on ABBA's 'Voulez Vous' album. When  the LP was unleashed to eager fans of the Swedish group, the track had been omitted. It middle eight was added to "Does Your Mother Know" which was included on that LP. 
Recorded in September -October 1978, "Dream World" remained hidden in the vaults until 1994. It was 1 of the previously unreleased delights unearthed for ABBA's 'Thank You for the Music' CD box set. The deluxe edition of 'Voulez Vous' featured the full length track, with its intro - previously missing- now restored. It's this version that makes this Top 1200 listing. As usual, the track was written and produced by Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson from the group.

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
2 new songs are added each day (every 12 hours)  with a mid-week bonus every Wednesday.
