Arrival is the fourth album by Swedish pop group ABBA, first released in Sweden on October 11, 1976 (see 1976 in music). Recording sessions began in August 1975 and continued until September 1976. The album was recorded at Metronome and Glen studios in Stockholm, Sweden. "Arrival" was first released on CD in 1984. The album has been reissued in digitally remastered form a total of four times; first in 1997, then in 2001, 2005 as part of the The Complete Studio Recordings box set, and again in 2006 (as a special Deluxe Edition). Upon its original 1976 release, "Fernando", released as a single earlier the same year, did not appear on Arrival, but it was included on the Australian and New Zealand versions. "Fernando" remained unreleased on Arrival until the first remastered issue in 1997. The album also contains three of the group's biggest hits, "Dancing Queen", "Money, Money, Money" & "Knowing Me, Knowing You". The helicopter used for the album art is a Bell 47. Arrival was the UK's best selling album of 1977. In April 1977 the album was certified Gold in the USA.
Arrival was reissued again in 2006 (October 16) as a 30th Anniversary of the original release, called the Deluxe' Edition. This features the same track listing as the 2005 release, with one additional track "Fernando" sung in Swedish by Frida (solo version, not with ABBA), and also came with a bonus DVD with the following clips:
