BB Gabor is a 1980 album by the Hungarian Canadian artist B. B. Gabor. It featured two Canadian hit singles: "Nyet Nyet Soviet (Soviet Jewellery)" and "Metropolitan Life." The album focused on themes such as city life, Soviet oppression, love, and consumerism.
In 2007, 17 years after Gabor's death, the Canadian label Pacemaker Entertainment combined his two albums, BB Gabor and Girls of the Future, onto a single CD.
