Swedish quartet
ABBA released their third, self-titled album in 1975. It was a record that led
the group to their international breakthrough and eventual domination of the
1970s pop music world. ABBA also provided a blueprint for everything that
defined the group, cementing once and for all the band's musicality and
approach. It presents a unique and timeless sound that still resonates fifty
years on, remaining as fresh as the day this remarkable recording was released.
This is
the story of the album, from its inception to its triumphant commercial
breakthrough and all in between, including ABBA's first live tour outside of
their native Sweden. It is written from a perspective of not only a fan, but
from that of a musician who has recorded with some of ABBA's inner circle, as
well as spending time in Stockholm. Along with in-depth analysis of the music,
it also includes new and exclusive interviews with many of the original musicians
who were there in the studio, recording the album's now classic tracks. These
include bassist Mike Watson, plus guitarists Janne Schaffer and Finn Sjoeberg,
and the book features a foreword by author Carl Magnus Palm. It's a story
retold like never before
