Listen to the male vocal loop in OOPS at 0:36. Exactly as she sings 'let me try', instead of 'chance take a chance' you hear 'chan- chan- chance' with the middle syllable quieter.
At 0:43 I don't hear a voice on the LEFT side, but I do hear an odd note on the RIGHT side. I'm listening through Spotify. When I OOPS it, it sounds like a stray note on the guitar that comes in during that section.
That's because the 92 Gold mixes often have inverted stereo positions, Pog! This mix first saw light of day, as far as I know, on the UK vinyl pressing of Greatest Hits Volume 2. You may be using a different edition. I didn't know the stereo issue when I put this video out.
I think the edit at 0:29 in the song is suppose to be that way. Kinda like the small bit on Cassandra where the girls sing "Packing your bags, being slow and thorough", except the opposite.
Thanks for your comments Promagnum. I have to say though that I'm not all that familiar with Cassandra - I haven't checked anomalies yet. So you might have to explain yourself a bit more here. Also I'm talking OOPS at 0:29, just to clarify, there's no skip in phase.
Hey Mark. Yeah, I know the process you speak of, my reply was more to Schelinfrey's remark, that it was impossible to do because he/she couldn't do it. Kisses and respeck.
It is not just the fact that it is a bit of a tongue twister, Soapflake. Recording a loop with a reel-reel and modified tapeheads means that it's easy to sing the loop just once and have it record the loop over and over to get that lush chorus effect. This technique was first pioneered in the 60's with songs like The Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows.
Thanks for sharing. :-) I knew the intro was done through tape loop because I couldn't sing "take a chance" repeatedly myself. Hahaha. But the guitar is awesome.
Glad you enjoyed, Schelinfrey. Will post up Fernando in next coupla days! Thanks for subscribing! And thanks everyone else who has subscribed - I hope you enjoy all my content.

The stray note I'm hearing is dead on the snare beat immediately after "Meee..." circa 0:43.

I also thing what you're hearing at :43 is a small tape wow problem from the echo chamber.

It's sooo easy to sing the boys' intro. I mastered it as a teenager - along with the chorus of Blur's Girls and Boys. You just need a good tongue. ;)

I always knew it was a loop, now, PROOF!! lol
I love ABBA anyway, their original edits are magnificent, but like you said.. it's future modification.
If something's being released under the ABBA label, Benny & Bjorn should be the ones to do any modifications
