Notes

* The first chorus differs from the original release: there are less instruments in the background at around 1.08-1.14 minutes; also the vocals seem to sound a bit different
** Different version of "Should I Laugh Or Cry": at the beginning you can hear Benny counting "1,2,3" in Swedish before the song begins
*** "This nine-minute medley takes us from the very first demo, with vocals by Björn, to a run-through with Benny on electric piano and Frida on lead vocals, similar to the final version. In between are a demo recording by Frida and Benny (on grand piano) with alternate lyrics entitled 'Another Morning Without You'; a completely different "disco" attempt, played by a full band and with the final lyrics in place; and a ballad interpretation, also with a full band backing, featuring Frida on lead vocals."  Information about this medley is taken from the official abbasite
