ABBA Reaction RARE Songs Medley (MY OH MY!) | Dereck Reacts

#abba #abbareaction #abbavoyage #justanotion #justlikethat
Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at three Abba rare songs from a special project titled "ABBA Undeleted." A PATREON sub said two of the three will be featured on their new "Voyage," album out this year. "Just A Notion," and "Just Like That," are the tracks that made the cut. See what I have to say about these awesome tracks, and why it just gets better and better!

Even their outtakes are better than most groups finished songs. Amazing.

[@DereckReacts]

Good point lol

[@roniron6203]

So true

[@itsabouttime8680]

Too right!!! The best ever is ABBA

[@gerhardvanderwesthuizen842]

"Just like that" would have been a massive hit in 1983 if they did release it.

[@nowvoyager8438]

I agree - it would be an absolute classic today. I think back then "Just like that" was Abba’s best song in a long time. I can't understand why Björn and Benny decided not to release it - or at least release it later on with "I am the city".

[@PerryCJamesUK]

@Marvin Morawski And they did use some of its melodic lines in Chess, which I think was probably already floating around in the ether and that's where the boys minds were at the time. But by goodness, what a song it is.

[@yasminedey8612]

Gemini sang it in 85

@@yasminedey8612 unfortunately the implementation with gemini is also the worst version, this mega song really didn't deserve that.

Just Like That would be a huge hit if released today.

[@danielroberto2209]

Omg... we all want "Just Like That" released!!!

[@genewebb2837]

artists should listen to their fans more but that may not make them change their minds. have always known about and liked just like that but am hoping it will be released perhaps on another new album after voyage. or a complete album of unreleased tracks and not demos. we can hope cant we???

[@randykoger4646]

Hell yes….it’s a great song!

[@SebaZero]

I don't know why they don't take advantage and release all these Undeleted jewels in the new or coming albums

[@PerryCJamesUK]

There are a few leaked versions and.... those verses... Beyond comparison. "Until that day, my life had been a river flowing, following its safe and uneventful course." It's like a page from the diary of the girl who sang "The Day Before You Came" but sung with even more melancholy... Please ABBA make this the B Side to Just A Notion

[@genewebb2837]

@@PerryCJamesUK wouldnt that be great if AbbA surprised us by putting just like that as a b-side. benny had said in an interview he and bjorn were not happy with the song. and shelved it but everyone who hears it loves the song so who knows if they really re-did it recently?? also there is an instrumental when the waves roll out to sea(which is unreleased) and musically it sounds like just like that check it our

[@itsabouttime8680]

Boy, those girls can sing - harmonies are simply sublime ABBA rocks absolutely.

Just Like That is the best ABBA song ever. The complete recording is gorgeous. The verses are great too and match perfectly with the chorus.

[@alintje11]

I agree :)

[@zinlucascamargo]

I don't know why people insist on saying the verses and the chorus don't match. Many do this just to match B&B's opinion. They're all wrong and that's final, hahahaha.

[@tgoblondie]

It's the best song by any artist ever recorded. Maybe it's an excuse not to release it because they know it's so good that the world doesn't deserve it.

[@shereekendall1003]

Just a notion is the best of them two songs....just like that is nice but does not have the same greatness as just a notion has and that's it really😊

Can you imagine their cast offs? Apparently there are a few from Voyage too.

[@iatinom22]

@@christine3043 Of course I can! I'm sure they have discarded wonderful songs for this album as well. They never released "Just like that" because they didn't like it, however they turned it into an instrumental song called "When the waves roll out to sea" (also unreleases LOL but so beautiful). ABBA is pure magic.

Just like that the na na version is amazing

[@darthsidious47]

Just a notion will actually be officially released on Friday as a new single for their new album. There is a snippet of it released and it sounds so good.

[@Ananta79]

Ah… Dereck. If you only knew. The story behind the making of Just Like That deserves a book lol. One of the most requested unreleased songs from Abba yet it has never been officially released. However 3 (or 4) versions have been recorded : the Na Na Na version (with Agnetha vocalizing at the beginning of the song), the Vitalized version or the slow version (just a bit more slower than the nanana version) without ad libs and the 3rd version being the sax version. Originally the song has verses and a chorus for its 3 variations. However, the sax version Dereck heard is a rearranged version made by Benny and Bjorn. In fact, they have never been satisfied with the rendition of the song so they tried their best to transform/ adapt it so many times within the group. A few years later, they gave a newly reworked version of the song with other verses to Gemini, same for Elaine Page (this time called “When the Waves Roll Out To Sea” which remained a demo version) and even a Swedish version sang by a man based on Elaine’s version (sorry forgot his name 😅). For decades fans have been begging Bjorn and Benny to officially release the Sax version but they’ve always refused. Such a shame since the song exists and the fans really love it. 😢😢😢. But as you mentioned, Just a Notion will be released on ABBA’s new album while Just Like That remains in limbo state…

[@mariaJ3105]

Personally prefer the na na version than sax version

[@sds6303]

The sax version is my favorite

[@123billydog]

Oh Dereck, if you're going to listen to ABBA, listen to the whole 23 minute Undeleted track. The complete track demonstrates ABBA working on Take A Chance On Me (Billy Boy), Summer Night City, and Rock Me (Baby). The first attempt to record 'Fernando' for Frida is also included. You also missed another few gems from the studio stuff. Bjorn and Benny weren't keen on Angeleyes back in 1978 but decided to cast Just A Notion aside and persists with the Angeleyes recording.

[@Tom_McMurtry]

Full video here and as found on ABBA's official channel It's 23 minutes and includes them playing around in the studio a heap, many beautiful instrumentals and also including them purposefully singing summer night city as badly as possible for a laugh whilst warming up: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIbJcq2ud7CpgqM

[@willsdoc]

Can never get my head around why they never tried to get it 100% right for them to be happy releasing it. Biggest hit they never had… Fantastic selection of Reacts today Dereck!⭐️

[@happyhawaii0711]

Björn & Benny will never release "Just like that", because they don´t like it. the saxophone part is played by Raphael Ravenscroft, who also played the saxophone part of "Baker street" (Gerry Rafferty). so we fans have to wait for eternity.......

[@genewebb2837]

never say never. we never thought ABBA would return. so we all can hope cant we??

[@happyhawaii0711]

@@genewebb2837 that´s true, yes.

[@starskreem8258]

@Marvin Morawski They have explained why the werent happy with Just like that. The chorus and verses do not mesh well. This is why in all 3 known versions they have really long bridges trying to tie the chorus to the verse and to be fair it just doesnt work. I am sure they could have fixed it but by this stage I think they were ready to move on. Also Benny and Bjorn dont hate Just like That. in fact they love the chorus. They just feel its 2 different songs

[@nilsfearon1]

Long story but the sax from Just Like That is by Raphael Ravenscroft who played the famous Baker Street solo. He played on Never Again by Agnetha and Tomas Ledin in 1982 and asked to be included on another ABBA track. So three demo versions of JLT actually were created but the cassette was stolen from Björn’s car in 1983. The cleaned up sax 🎷 mix was broadcast on a special show of rarities in 1986 with producer Micke Tretow.

[@mariaJ3105]

I prefer the na na version of Just Like That

Man, Derrick, I've said it before and I'll say it again: YOU HAVE GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC!!! I'm 62 which means I was 17 in 1976 when ABBA was at the top in worldwide charts, even in the US with 'Dancing Queen' -- thank you for bringing me back to my youth!

The full ABBA Undeleted is really a treasure trove of incomplete song fragments and there is so much there of what could have been if ABBA hadn't decided it wasn't working or had other ideas they went with instead. Apparently there are even NEW recordings like this that were discarded during the recording of Voyage. Anyway, there is actually another one from the ABBA Undeleted track that did get a release finally by Benny Andersson on his Klinga Mina Klockor album: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6iTZKyHrb2LaZI

Who tells, that "Just Like That" is on "Voyage"? That's not true! "Just A Notion" will be on the album, but surely in a completely 'nowadays' recording.

[@jamesbachmann7376]

Agreed. Just A Notion will probably be reworked, possibly with new lyrics, for all we know. Voyage's track listing has been released and Just Like That isn't on the album.

[@jamesbachmann7376]

@Jeremy B. R. James Actually, we don't know if Bumblebee will be what was on the Deleted CD, Free As A Bumblebee or a whole new song. Given that FAAB was just a demo, IF it is used, it would probably be totally reworked. But we'll just have to wait and see.

Before we had the promise of Voyage, the various demos and half completed songs were all we had left. I know "Just a notion" is on the track listing for Voyage but not "Just like that". If "Just ike that" had been completed and released at the time, I suspect it would probably have been made fun of because it is also the catchphrase of a comedy magician at the time called Tommy Cooper. Concidently (or not) ABBA appeared on the Tommy Cooper TV show back in the day, so who knows if that planted the seed for the idear of the song?

[@robertdinmore1971]

Oh my gosh, I hadn't heard _Just Like That_ in so long! I just know I dug it out of some random discography collection on the net. I had forgotten it, but I really love it so much! I remember I used to have it on my second iPod, but my mother's cat broke it in half... Cat knocked over a book case speaker... iPod Nano got "decapitated". Eventually, I upgraded my original iPod Mini with a flash upgrade... I never got all my old music restored to my upgraded original iPod. This was one of my missing tunes!

[@DarkAngel459]

It's a shame you didn't listen to 'Hamlet Part III,' which begins 'When the Autumn leaves are falling to the ground...' because it's beautiful. I like a version of 'Just Like That' with the verses which is hard to find, but Benny and Bjorn just don't like it.

Just Like That is so divine, especially the "sax" version!!! I have the full version on the bootleg LP "Take A Chance On Us" but the sound quality is poor. And I am so excited for the full version of "Just A Notion" on Voyage, I wonder if they will re-work into a ballad or something?

[@aperinich]

[@markbaker2826]

Just like that one of my favourite unreleased songs ever !!

[@avataryangchen19]

"Just Like That" is considered to be the "holy grail" of all of ABBA's unreleased music. It was a track designed for what would've been their album immediately after "The Visitors." Benny has said multiple times in the past that they didn't release it because it sounded "wrong," something about the chorus and the verses not molding well together. This "saxophone" version is one of three in existence, and is probably the one closest to "perfect" for release. It's very clear they don't want to release this song. Lots of other people posting clips of ABBA's songs with no issue, but posting this one song on KZbin gets struck down every single time. A duo supported by the boys called Gemini released a different version of "Just Like That," the one they consider as the "best" version of the song, but every ABBA fan I know (including myself) feel this is very inferior to the original, even if Bjorn and Benny think otherwise: Gemini version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3m4eX6EgMeJp6c

[@flugsven]

Really liked Just Like That. The sax is so great!

[@SpaceCattttt]

I like all the versions of "Just Like That" but the sax version is probably my least favourite. I mean, the sax-playing is great and kind of suits the song, but there's just too much of it! Instead of giving the sax a solo in the middle and perhaps during the outro, the damn thing keeps blasting away almost nonstop! It's as if they hadn't written enough verses yet and instead allowed the sax to fill in the gaps.

[@flugsven]

@@SpaceCattttt Listen to "Baker Street"! Same Guy. It was right back then. I actually went back in time when I heard it ☺️ The Gemini version totally lacked the lightness in the tune.

[@markbaker2826]

Hey Derek, loving your reactions, have subscribed and enjoying your ABBA journey. May I please request you listen to "Get On The Carousel" it is the 4th and final song of their 1977 tour, mini musical, The Girl with the golden Hair. The 2 girls play the one character and this culminates in this fantastic song. Carousel was NEVER recorded in the studio so the only version we have is taken from ABBA The Movie ! You will go nuts over this song, just fantastic and I'm happy to say I was at the infamous 1st, RAINY concert played in Sydney Australia, sitting in the 3rd row !

Thanks for the ABBA. I don't think 'Just Like That' is on the new album but fans have wanted them to finnish it for years. They even have I think Benny said six songs on the new album they didn't think was good enough for release. I think it would be great if ABBA would do 'I Know Him So Well' and 'Story Of A Heart' too. Frida and Agnetha are Benny/Bjorn's true rightful voice. The guy's should come out and just admit that. Then just go for it.

They are releasing a Just a notion but not Just like that. Saw a recent interview with Benny saying they were never happy with Just like that. Shame because I thought it was great.

[@SpaceCattttt]

They also said they'd never reform ABBA. I think that an online fan campaign might just be what eventually convinces them that a lot of people actually like the song. If they can release "King Kong Song", surely it shouldn't be a problem to release their finest unreleased song?

I adore the saxophone in 'Just Like That', but feel the rest of the song, although it has a lot of potential, is just a bit unpolished and without direction. 'Just A Notion' also has potential, and has a touch of Status Quo in this recording which also reminds me of 'Wombling Merry Christmas'! I have heard rumours that the new recording of it will be released as a single just before the launch of the 'Voyage' album. It will be interesting to hear what the band have done with it!!

[@shereekendall1003]

Hey there Dereck....yep they have released Just a Notion onto their new album.💖 in its entirety😊it's a keeper huh! Just like that would have bin great....but it won't ever be released as the guys didn't like it.....but you know....I've got a notion that they may surprise us....could be a hidden gem on the new album😊...but who knows huh? Let's wait and see.😊

The saxophone is unusual in Just Like That because the original song had a longer verse and did not included that instrument. In that version is where you'll find the "under attack" part.

[@123billydog]

The first attempt was recorded May, along with You Owe Me One and I Am The City. The saxophone was added to a sped up version in June when the track was mixed and completed. In August the final 1982 ABBA session saw the recording of Under Attack, Cassandra and The Day Before You Came. It was around that time plans for the new album were disguarded and I Am The City and Just Like That were deemed not for release. It took til 1993 before I Am The City was finally released and the boys insist Just Like That will never be released in its ABBA format.

[@SebaZero]

Good info. I thoght the saxophone version removed the original verse after using the melody in "When the Waves Roll Out to Sea". But based on what you say, that version was recorded in June 1982, well before Chess musical

[@123billydog]

@Sebastian, the original saxophone version has exactly the same verses as the first version. The main differenance is the 'Under Attack' guitar riff ( Dont know how to take it dont know, where to go), is buried deeper in the mix and the sax descends into the verses.

[@SebaZero]

But I remember hearing a very cleaned version with the saxophone, and without the main verse in it. Maybe I'm crazy or my memory is failing.

[@123billydog]

@@SebaZero maybe it was the version released as part of 'ABBA Undeleted' in 1994 on the 4 X CD box set, where the verses were removed?

[@teddouglas3496]

Wow 😮

[@jrom6841]

You need to listen to the complete ABBA UNDELETED...There are several songs in there...including a country ditty(Burning My Bridges) and Hamlett parts II and III (I think) it shows 2 different treatments to the same music....its amazing stuff!!!@

[@robertwill23]

Hi, Dereck. They gonna release "Just a notion" because it's completed song. But not "Just like that" which is another great unreleased gem by ABBA. I'm pretty sure they wont release it. There are 3 versions of that song. You heard sax version (weaker one as sax doesnt quite fit main melody at all). And it was short excerpt with just chorus on that medley. There are 2 other better versions - without sax and "Just like that" (na-na-na version) which is best one, imho. They recently blocked all videos that fans made with those versions. I am sure they will re-appear again. It were complete songs with verses and chorus (not like in medley you heard). They are not of great quality but still you can form better impression of the song (as it is full demo song). Origin of those versions are quite mysterious. They sound as if they were taken from audio cassette. "Just like that" is favorite unreleased ABBA song among many ABBA fans. There can be many reasons why ABBA not gonna release it - original tapes are lost, and maybe it's impossible to clean demo version in order to release it as it is or Benny or Bjorn not liking it as much. Agnetha though said that she enjoyed working on that song during recording session. There is beautiful melancholy in that song.

And under my sun !!!

[@williamgranero8239]

I'm a hard core Abba fan but I agree with you Dereck, something is missing on these songs, but I trust that they will improve it for their new album

[@sluzardo5879]

The album name is VOYAGE...Voyage with the French accent was a group in the late 70's that had a hit song Souvenirs that might be worth a review as something different....

[@tonyd3345]

The sax is played by the same guy that did the sax on Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty, Raphael Ravenscroft.

[@ronnowak7049]

Do Bang-a-boomerang it's fun & amazing !

[@JoseSilva-hc5xr]

Dereck, The ABBA 3rd single is going to be reliased next Friday 22 anda the song is.... Just a Notion. I'm waiting two things: The single and your reaction. May I counto n you on this one? Regards!

[@tootsie5052]

ABBA with a sax?? Of course, "I do,I do,I do, I do,I do". Very early song.

[@danielroberto2209]

This is from the box set!

[@RideHanna]

Just a notion certainly the stronger of the two songs. Just like that is a sweet song with a very linear melodic arc but it doesn’t compare to Just a Notions rocking forward motion and melodic and complex vocal scape . Really looking forward to hearing the song in its new iteration 22nd October!

[@rayjennings3637]

It's about time we had an ABBA equivalent of the Beatles 'Anthology' albums!

[@arielalonso6886]

Hamlet is the best unrealesed song. Is pure Abba.

[@genewebb2837]

i have seen the track listing of voyage and just like that is not one of the 10 new songs. not sure where you got that information. as stated in other comments benny didnt like how the song came out and shelved it. of ALL the unreleased songs this is my favorite one. so it would be awesome if they re-released it. i think it would be a great single..ABBA has used sax a few times in their songs not often, i do i do i do is an example.also ABBA was working on their 9th studio album titled opus 10. which is an instrumental llke the song arrival. there is enough tracks to make an album with that title and maybe if ABBA decides to record another new album it may be called opus 10. i also heard they had recorded more songs than the 10 on voyage so here's hoping they can do one more please???

[@keithposs3655]

I've ready that the sax player on Just Like That is the same guy as the one on Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street -

[@123billydog]

the late Raphael Ravenscroft.

[@mickeefreeman2898]

+ you have to listen 🎶 too the " king kong song "🎵. +" what about livingstone "...fare album 👣🛤🔀tracks .

[@sluzardo5879]

Just like that is one of the best song ever unreleased...Everyone wants it.....WIki refers to this......If you wants walls of sound out of nowhere review Kisses of Fire...

[@andreassn5050]

This is a different version of "Just Like That" than the one I know. Also, the Gemini cover version is absolutely awful.

[@zinlucascamargo]

ABSOLUTE AWFUL Sorry, I had to make it capital.

[@thetthtiss]

very good

[@ginalashley1265]

There were more songs on the Abba deleted.

[@RealBlast3]

Just A Notion is my favorite of the two however I think Just like That actually had more potential to be even better! I think if they had emphasized more that melody that Benny was playing on keys when agnetha I think it is sings high and soft I think that's the bridge? We only hear briefly a few times but to me that's actually the most magical part of the song and hints what might have been if they had developed that more in my opinion. I enjoy the sax, It's awesome but it probably goes on too long and it's as if it's there in place of actual song content, sometimes less is more. It's almost like there are three parts to this song and they're all kind of disconnected and somewhat disjointed But each of them really good on their own however I'm not sure they all work perfectly together. But again as I said the best part of the song is unfortunately the least used but I think if they had developed that more it could have been a great song. And since it was mentioned, I do hear how under attack the baseline was used from this, unfortunately while I like under attack, I think this was a case of diminishing returns, as under attack is definitely nowhere near as good as just like that is even in its infancy and unfinished form. Great reaction video, Dereck!

[@vincentmb238]

I did a mistale (that's why i deleted my comment). It is not " Undeleted (medley of outtakes)" that was on the "Rarities" album... But i'm sur some of, is here. Well, that "undeleted" track, is about 23 min an a half long... so ...

[@jorgbauer7351]

Just like That, was für ein Hammer Song !!!!

[@TRguy64]

ABBA knew when to leave something alone or do major tweaking! Yes, would have been nice for a polished version of 'Just Like That", though Bjorn Again did a bang up job of the song and so probably best to leave as be, especially if the boys hadn't been very keen on the song to begin with! Yes, soooo looking forward to ABBA's new album!

[@rosepey3549]

"Just Like That" one of the best and unique ABBA song.
