Put On Your White Sombrero

“ Put On Your White Sombrero ” is a song prepared by ABBA for recording on the 1980 Super Trouper album. This song, recorded by Polar Studios by September of that year, was not included on the album’s final tracklist: after the group recorded the tenth and last song for the album, the title track , which became one of the most successful in the entire history of the group, decided to put "Put On Your White Sombrero" on the shelf.

The song is a medium tempo ballad in the style of "Latino", with words of Spanish origin such as "bandana", "senorita" and "caballero"; the authors are Andersson and Ulvaeus, the lead vocals are Anni-Frid Lingstad and the mixed backing vocals Lingstad and Agneta Feltskog. The song remained in the archives of Polar Music until 1994, when it debuted in the compilation Thank You For The Music , and was subsequently released as a bonus track on the extended releases of the Super Trouper album and in the 2005 meeting The Complete Studio Recordings . The song also came out as a single on the 1996 compilation ABBA Gold , thus becoming the band's last single.

The instrumental insert at the end of “Put On Your White Sombrero” “survived”, being used in other ABBA songs, while recording tracks for compilation of The Singles: The First Ten Years in the fall of 1982. The new text and arrangements were embodied in the song “ Cassandra ”, one of the most recent tracks recorded by the group before the collapse. “Cassandra” was released as the second side for the single “ The Day Before You Came ”.

In 1996, the German label ABBA released a CD EP that included the following tracks:

1. "Put On Your White Sombrero"
2. "Dream World"
3. “ ¡Dame! ¡Dame! ¡Dame! "
