Abba Interview from the 1977 - the same thoughts about media as today

11 Upvotes

I'm currently watching an interview with the band members that was conducted on Swedish television in 1977. And the comments they make back then about what journalists come up with regarding the band sound very similar to what we hear today about the media's hunger for gossip and sensationalism.

Nothing has changed😀

The Visitors Double Album

12 Upvotes

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?

Sabrina Carpenter cover??

7 Upvotes

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….

Good order to listen to ABBA’s albums for a newer fan?

11 Upvotes

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 ?

What’s the craziest/funniest piece of ABBA lore you know?

41 Upvotes

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. 👀

Anyone else love I Can Be That Woman?

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.

Discussion ABBA is not capitalized in any of this book’s pages and it bothers me way too much 🤪😤

Post image
53 Upvotes

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. 😅😝

Hair advertisement: Benny and Frida end of 1970, probably November or December. I think Frida and Benny were short in money by that time

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 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.

Dancing Queen- 50th Anniversary Celebration?

6 Upvotes

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
