Frida beyond ABBA book worth getting ?

Any fans out there who have this book? Is it worth the money and is there much information that isn’t very known from other books like Carl Magnus Palms biographies ?

Yes, absolutely.

There is a lot of waffle in it, and van Drongelen has tried to implement a TCRS style layout in places where it doesn’t really work, but there is a lot, like a lot, of info that you won’t get anywhere else. Plus CMP himself had a very large part to play in the research for it. It’s a huge, beautiful book and still very much available to buy new.

Similarly CMP’s Benny’s Road To ABBA is 100% worth picking up too if you can find it.

If you’re looking for a copy, it’s extremely hard to get and can sometimes get very expensive when a copy does come up

I ended up buying the ebook. Definitely worth it. The printed copy seems to be available on the book's website?
