BB Gabor is a 1980 album by the Hungarian Canadian artist B. B. Gabor.[3] It featured two Canadian hit singles: "Nyet Nyet Soviet (Soviet Jewellery)" and "Metropolitan Life."[4][5][6] The album focused on themes such as city life, Soviet oppression, love, and consumerism.[7]

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.[8]
