STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Jan. 25 (UPI) -- The Swedish pop group ABBA said on its Web site it plans to release a deluxe edition of its eighth and final album "The Visitors" in April.

Like the previous deluxe treatments of ABBA's albums, "The Visitors" will feature several bonus tracks, along with a DVD of rare and previously unreleased material from the band's archives.

Originally released in 1981, the album features hits such as "One of Us" and "Head Over Heels," as well as "When All Is Said and Done" and "Slipping Through My Fingers," which are featured in the "Mamma Mia!" movie musical.

"For ABBA fans, the most sensational inclusion in the package will be the previously unreleased track, 'From A Twinkling Star to a Passing Angel (demos).' This is the first time since the 'Thank You For the Music' box set in 1994 that ABBA have opened the doors to the tape vaults to release previously unheard music from the group's heyday," the band said on its Web site.

The album is set for release April 23.
