About this title

Synopsis

Abba were one of the biggest global pop phenomena of the 1970s. Their 1974 Eurovision win led to a string of hits around the world, and in recent years their music has enjoyed a huge revival. But despite their global fame and the continuing fascination with all things ABBA, the group have never before given their blessing to an official book - until now. This book features more than 500 colour photographs taken by Anders Hanser, a close friend of the band who has had unprecedented access over more than twenty years. The authoritative text is by Carl Magnus Palm, recognized as one of the world's foremost ABBA historians, who paints a vivid portrait of the world within ABBA's inner circle of friends and colleagues.

Review

'Having undergone a renaissance in the last 10 years or so, Swedish pop megastars ABBA are putting their side of the story in print in a new book. From ABBA To Mamma Mia: The Official Book is an authorised account of the life and times of the 70's supergroup, written by experts Anders Hanser and occasional RC contributor, Carl Magnus Palm. Opening with a foreword from Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni-Frid, the volume has been written with unprecedented access to the group and their faithful entourage. With over 500 photographs included - many of which are previously -unpublished the group's tale is told, from the solo years in the 60's, through the smash hit days of Eurovision and chart domination in the 70's, before coming right up to date with the behind-the-scenes story of the hit West End Musical, Mamma Mia!' -- Record Collector
