Comment Discogs https://www.discogs.com/release/7871392-ABBA-The-Visitors says it was mastered at Cutting Room, which suggests it's Swedish mastering. Yet on all tracks dB levels are audibly lower, and on some DR ranges slightly differ, to European 800 011-2. This issue's channels are also reversed and it seems to sound a touch darker. In general it's apples and oranges if we prefer this or European version.
