Just listening to this and during the intro to every single sodding track they have a pre-recorded voice-over saying "you are listening the the Ultimate ABBA chart on BBC Radio 2" or "the ultimate ABBA chat ..... number 'x'' ....... blah!

That REALLY gets on my mammaries! I mean, put it on every few tracks if you really must and in between the tracks, but not over the damned lead-in!

Yeah, I know, the BBC do like their branding in these days of increased competition, but come on - way to ruin a show eh?

Sorry, just ranting ............

Couldn't agree more! A strident female voice proving an unwelcome contrast with the lovely laid back tones of Tim Rice, and in some cases a very jarring placement of the announcements too, with several bars of the intro playing clean, just getting you into the mood of the song and then that woman booming in just before the singing starts. Grrrr!!

Even more proof, if it were needed, that Radio 2 really doesn't give a sh&t about the music these days, it's all about celeb presenters ........
