Oro: Grandes Éxitos
ABBA Oro: Grandes Éxitos is a greatest hits compilation album by ABBA, first released by Polydor in the United States in 1992, in which the songs are sung in Spanish. This album is the Spanish equivalent of their Gold: Greatest Hits album. The included songs were originally released on Gracias Por La Música in early 1980. It was certified Gold in Argentina.
Oro was followed by ABBA Mas Oro: Mas ABBA Exitos in 1993 which included five English-language versions plus further tracks in Spanish; the four songs that appeared on the South American versions of Super Trouper and The Visitors, and it also saw the debut of the previously unreleased Spanish version of "Ring Ring", recorded in 1973 but left in the Polar archives for twenty years.
In 1999, all 15 tracks were finally collected in Spanish on one CD in the international re-issue of Oro. At that time the recordings were also digitally remastered in 24 bit.
In 2002 this version of Oro was re-released, featuring updated artwork and new liner notes.
