ABBA - Gimme Gimme Gimme. HQ Vinyl Rip. (Linn Sondek LP12/Ittok/Karma)

This is an interesting one. I’m pretty sure this pressing of this compilation is sourced from an early ‘80s digital master . Barcoded record probably from around 1983. It sounds lighter and brighter than the remixed digital version but there is a lot of clarity and bite which I’ve always liked. The synths and vocals sound nicely detailed.

I used the Linn Karma cartridge for this rip. The Kandid would probably have sounded too bright.

Equipment:
Linn Sondek LP12 turntable/precirkus
Valhalla PSU
Linn Ittok LVII Tonearm
Linn Karma MC Cartridge
CA 640p phono stage (MC, 100 ohms)

Actually sounds like a 1979-1980 era recording. Reminds me of Olivia Newton-John's Xanadu album.
