Released on 23 November 1993 as “The Sign” in North America, Japan, and some Latin American countries by Arista Records, the original American version of the album contains the songs from band’s Scandinavian debut release, “Happy Nation” (1992), plus three new songs ("Don't Turn Around", "The Sign" and "Living in Danger"), as well as revised versions of "Voulez-Vous Danser" and "Waiting for Magic". The songs "Münchhausen (Just Chaos)" and "Dimension of Depth" from the original album, “Happy Nation”, were removed altogether.
To coincide with the release of “The Sign”, “Happy Nation” was re-released outside the USA and Canada as “Happy Nation - U.S. Version”, and featured the new tracks and revised versions included on "The Sign", as well the new track "Hear Me Calling" and a remix of "Happy Nation" (CD version. Also appeared on Spanish release of vinyl only, 1994).
“Happy Nation” / “The Sign” was ranked top three on the Billboard 200 chart for 26 consecutive weeks. The album and the single (of the same name) are the only single or album by a Swedish act to rank number one on Billboard's annual overall Year-End lists.
“Happy Nation” / “The Sign” is listed among the Top 100 Best-selling Albums of All Time by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), with sales in excess of 21 million copies. The album itself earned Arista Records 42 million USD, and was nominated for Best Pop Album at the 1995 Grammy Awards.
The new version of the album was released in the UK on 14 March 1994, and climbed to number 1 on the UK Albums Chart on 26 June, beating the number 21 peak of the original release.
First re-edition on 140 gram Clear Vinyl.

3CD Set includes tracks from “Greatest Hits” compilation (2008), and repackaged with “Hidden Gems” compilation (2015) instead of the DVD released with “Greatest Hits”.
The only Ace Of Base compilation you’ll ever need!
Ace Of Base are one of the most successful Pop bands, which ruled the charts in the 1990s, producing inescapable Pop singles, including 10 UK top 40 singles. With a string of worldwide hits, they dominated a space not seen since ABBA in the 70s. This 3CD setting contains all of their massive hits, plus rare remixes and B-Sides. The collection includes 46 tracks, including UK #1 singles "All That She Wants", "The Sign", "Don't Turn Around", "Life Is a Flower", "Cruel Summer" and "Beautiful Life".
The project was initially conceived as Ace of Base's next studio album, to consist of seven new songs and seven re-recordings of hit songs. The remakes were created to give the songs a more modern feel. According to Ulf Ekberg, the compilation was a contract obligation and halted plans for the band's then-upcoming album. Though Linn's image appears on the cover of the compilation, she is not featured on any of the new material.
The re-release charted 59 for one week in the UK, and thus was Ace of Base's return to the charts since their 2010 album "The Golden Ratio" worldwide and since the 1999 compilation "Singles Of The 90s" in the UK.
The 3CD collection is a definitive career spanning set, including recordings "Remixes" and "Hidden Gems".

"Da Capo" saw the band return to their original sound that brought them their international acclaim, classic Pop aesthetics married to a Reggae style rhythm but played with synths. The album is named for the musical term da capo, meaning "back to the beginning".
The album was initially slated for a summer 2000 release, but problems with Ace of Base's record labels caused it to be delayed for another year. The band's record label demanded that many of the album's songs be reworked with additional producers. Ultimately, "Da Capo" came out at the end of September 2002, and resulted in very low album sales in many European territories. The album was planned to be released in the United States in 2003, but no release surfaced. In an interview, Ulf said that the group would release the album in the United States, with the songs being more acoustic. However, it never came out in America or Australia, although it has recently become available on iTunes. Polydor Records gave it a "soft release" in the UK on 21 October 2002 with no promotion nor any radio singles, as Polydor believed that the band were no longer relevant to the British music scene.
The title track was later featured on Dance Dance Revolution Supernova in 2006. As of 2008, Da Capo has sold over 600,000 copies, far fewer than Ace of Base's earlier releases.
This album finally gets the global release that all the fans have been waiting for. It was the last album to be made with the original line up. If you were to imagine what an Ace Of Base album sounds like without ever hearing one – this would be it!
