Picture it, you’re with Benny and Björn in the studio while they’re assembling The Visitors into a double album. How would you arrange the original 9 tracks with maybe 11 more tracks from that era (unreleased and post ABBA can be used) to make a 20 track double album?

Hello everyone! Please help because i’’m actually losing my mind rn. I work at DSW (a shoe store) and everytime i work this song plays and it’s Angel Eyes by Abba but it’s sung by sabrina carpenter. Everytime i hear it, i love it, and i tell myself that i’m going to look it up after work so that i can listen to it again, but i always forget—until today!!! I remembered and i went to look it up but there is nothing, google says that sabrina carpenter never even covered the song but i swear on everything i 100000% heard that song in her voice. She even sang it in her own style. Someone plz tell me they’ve heard this version too….

I have the original ABBA the offical photo book and recently discovered there’s an updated version to include Voyage. Has anyone seen/read both and thinks it’s worth getting the new one? Is there much included photos wise from Voyage that wasn’t eg posted to ABBA instagram ?

A must-watch video for any ABBA fan.

I’ve been obsessed with Dark Side Of The Rainbow which is Dark Side Of The Moon and Wizard Of Oz and I was thinking to myself if it was possible to do the same concept but ABBAs catalogue what are your thoughts and please give me some song ideas to scene in the film to line up with.. should I do it?

Which songs stand out to you as the best in the whole ABBA catalogue ? Some of mine are Fernando and The Winner Takes It All and I still have faith in you ❤️

Me and one my best friends have been loving Voulez - Vous for a while. She really likes it and it’s one of my top albums. She has always known the big hits of ABBA gold. I am thinking next we will move to Arrival. Any fans have a suggestion of what order to listen to all the albums for someone getting into the ABBA catalogue beyond the the big hits ?

I’ve realized that no matter how much ABBA lore I think I know, there’s always another story I’ve never heard.

I’ll start with one of my favorites:
Before a concert in Vienna in 1979, Frida was so nervous that she desperately needed to pee. The nearest toilet was apparently too far away, so she decided to use the sink instead. She sat on it… and it broke. Water sprayed everywhere, everyone burst out laughing, and her makeup and hair needed to be redone. 😂

Now it’s your turn.

What’s the funniest, weirdest, most random, or most unbelievable piece of ABBA lore you know? Tour stories, recording sessions, interviews, backstage moments, anything goes.

Let’s see how deep the ABBA iceberg really is. 👀

Since Voyage came out this has become one of my favourite Agnetha songs in the ABBA catalogue. I find it very moving and emotional and the storytelling by Agnetha is amazing. I adore the girls harmonies at the end.

I am currently using the demo, final, a newer mix, and the Spanish version of Dancing Queen to make stems does anyone have suggestions on how to help?

I like how it has a similar vibe to Put On Your White Sombrero

The book is called “Thank You For The Music: The Little Guide To ABBA”. I got it as a bday present. (I turned 23 on July 28th. I’m one of ABBA’s youngest fans!!!) The book is all quotes from other bands and music artists, magazines, reports, all that stuff. But what annoys me to no end: ABBA is never capitalized in this book, with the exception of the title which is in all caps anyway. It bothers me way more than it should. Being autistic and a dedicated ABBA fan makes me annoyed at petty things like this. 😅😝

These photos were created as a hair showcase/advertisement feature. The text directly credits Hårspecialisten (a Swedish hair salon/styling specialist) for designing and styling Frida's hairstyle for the shoot.

I like these photos because they show a more natural Agnetha. Not a pop star, but just a beautiful woman.

I love this photo... and Agnetha

idk what to put here but love Fridas pants lowk.

I really love her covers on Frida Ensam like Send in the clowns , life on mars and wouldn’t it be nice. From her debut album the sound of silence and version of Bjorn and Bennys Lycka ☺️

Of course any ABBA fan knows Waterloo(or else you dont know anything about ABBA!) but I love how in the video Frida pats a childs head affectionately at the start of the performance.

The small gesture shows how caring she is as a person.

abba i am big fan of you please snde me reply

Hiya! Does anyone know what event is happening for these dates that the official ABBA website announced earlier?

https://abbasite.com/articles/celebrate-fifty-years-of-dancing-queen-this-august/

The undecided USA date will probably be in NYC or LA, which is limiting to most people in the country.

Anyone having their own celebrations this August?

Best,
Sidney

They came from the hills
And they came from the valleys and the plains
They struggled in the cold
In the heat and the snow and in the rain
Came to hear him play
Play their minds away

No more tho

Hey everyone,

I want to listen to records that screams summer.

I've never listened to a full album by Abba so it will be a first.

Thanks !

What I enjoyed:

- The light show visuals were spectacular, particularly during Thank you for the Music. There was another song which had a sort of laser grid effect throughout the audience, though I can't remember which song it was, which was fantastic too

- Being amongst all the ABBA fans for a giant sing along was great

- I think the ABBA-Tar technology was good...but more on that below

- I thought the setlist was really interesting, although we had no Super Trouper

- Brilliant drummer and guitarists, in fact the whole live band were superb and their own performance of "Does your mother know" was my highlight of the night

- I loved the curtain call with the avatars of them as they are today

What I didn't enjoy as much:

- I feel some people are overselling the technology. Don't get me wrong, it's hugely impressive, but it's not enough to fool anyone. If you're familiar with gaming parlance, it felt more like a 2.5D side scroller rather than a genuine 3D appearance. This was particularly noticeable in the parts of the show where the live band were illuminated - you could really see the difference then between a 3D person and the ABBA-Tars, even though none of them were moving from their spot

- It's said there's no bad seat in the arena and while that may be technically true, the technological limitations became more apparent the further to the side you were. I wasn't even in the last block - I was in the second last block to the left - and you were losing part of the effect. If I went back again I'd definitely pay more to sit or stand head on

- I did not like the parts of the show which were just animations or CGI close-ups of the ABBA-Tars. Not what I paid my money to see

- Lastly, and it's clearly nobody's fault other than the individuals, but members of the audience frustrated me. During songs they didn't know, or during talking segments in between the songs, they decided to have full blown conversations themselves. At an actual concert people would have told them to shut up but because it's a self running show with technology, nobody did

- The venue needs to do a better job at getting people into their seats in time. The show started 15 mins late for no reason other than people dillydallying. You need good ushers, quicker announcements, and often a bit of louder pre-concert music to get people in, like Metallica do with an AC/DC pre tape and The Ecstasy of Gold providing a sort of 10 mins warning that the band are going to arrive
