My sister is almost 10 years older than me. So when I was about 6 years old, ABBA, and other late 70s and early 80s music, was always emanating from her bedroom. I think that's why I respond to and know more about music from that era than other people my age.
Anyway, I always loved looking at those ABBA albums. There are two that I remember clearly...

The "Super Trouper" album cover sort of scared me. All those weird circus-y/sideshow people are weird... but in a cool way. My favorite is "ABBA The Album". All those colors and groovy illustration still looks fresh today. I wouldn't be surprised if current illustrators are using this as inspiration. Does anyone know of any examples?
