I  believe the ABBA album in question is "The Visitors," which was  recorded
digitally in 1981 (and released on vinyl and tape at that time),  and then 
later released on CD in 1983.  I have the original 1983 version  of that CD
and it has breathtaking dynamic range and percussive impact, but  the
complete lack of "sweetening" leaves it sounding a bit "thin" and  "cold."


Bayer takes credit for working with Phillips to develop Makrolon,  the 
material used to manufacture CDs, which led to the DVD and other digital  storage.  
And yes, "The Visitors" was the first CD released in 1982.
 
Watch the wrap, and read the news release:
