I've listened carefully to Under Attack on my version of MAG, and the percussion at 2:49 actually pops up on the right. I've listened both to the CD and the ripped file on my iPod.
@theodorgh The stereo positions of the ABBA songs are a bit of a mystery. There are some inversions, especially on the compilation albums in the group's lifetime, eg The Singles, GH Vol1 and 2. Tretow used these for his Gold compilations, but later remasters used stereo positions from the parent albums. It is weird! Google Just Like That Articles by Mark Pearce for an article I wrote about just this very topic!
@MarkPMus Oh yeah, I know that article, it's really great and understandable even by someone not into Hi-Fi and all the terms. I've actually read all of the Audiophile Corner, to get an idea on Tretow vs. Astley vs. Jonsson. It seems like Astley messed around with the stereo positions for the 1999 More ABBA Gold. Maybe someone who bought The Definitive Collection can leave some feedback regarding the positions.

Very good. I love the percussion and base slides in the second half of Under Attack aswell!! I always wondered what is that galloping percussion sound. It's great!
At 0:45 in phase you can hear that edit poit very well. The whole sound dulls in right channel for a split second and then comes back. Sounds like a punch or somthing.
At 1:01/1:02 There is an edit point. Both OOPS and in phase. The sound skips for a split second in the right channel.
At 2:05 you're not imagine things. There is a click sound in right channel just after "under attack" before "I'm taking cover"
I must say I've never noticed the "Uh - this is getting crazy...". How interesting! I was listening wondering if maybe Aggie was saying "Now this is getting..." but I'm not sure. Also, regarding the anomaly at 3:43, it is also on the 2001 "30th Anniversay" master of The Visitors. Thanks for a great video, Mark!

@Skywatcher17 That's 3:43 in the song, not the video. Silly YoutTube!

And it is not the infamous "Ticket to Ride" at the end of the album - I will make a video about this one.

I think there is an anomaly in the compact disc release regarding The Dark Side of the Moon.
