THE DEFINITIVE RECORDING HISTORY OF SWEDISH SUPERSTARS, ABBA, TOLD ALBUM-BY-ALBUM AND SONG-BY-SONG. Filled with fascinating photography (some rarely seen) and sensational behind-the-scenes details. Discover the untold stories behind ABBA's greatest hits , including the iconic ' Waterloo ', ' Mamma Mia ' and ' Dancing Queen ' in this loving and thorough dissection of every album and song released by the pop megastars. From their first single in 1972, all the way up to their Grammy-nominated studio album, Voyage, and their revolutionary virtual tour, this definitive tome uncovers the full story behind every track that ABBA released. In over 500 pages, no stone is left unturned. Drawing upon decades of research, expert author Benoît Clerc recounts the circumstances that led to the composition of every song - detailing the inspiration behind the lyrics, the recording process and the instruments that shaped ABBA's distinctive sound. Featuring hundreds of photographs, including rare publicity stills, images of the instruments used by the band, and shots of the musicians on-stage and in-studio, Abba: All the Songs is the perfect gift for any fan of pop. Review: Abba: All The Songs: The Story Behind Every Track - This is an absolutely fantastic book. for anyone who is an ABBA fan. It`s very heavy, and consists of 525 pages including the `Index` - but excluding `Acknowledgement and Picture Credits. It is very informative and contains the most beautiful pictures, including many I`ve never seen before. The book has got it`s own fully instrated `dust jacket` complete with a lovely photograph of all four members of ABBA - and the same photograph is also on the front of the book itself. I will certainly be looking for a see-through protective cover to protect this book. THANK YOU, thank you to the Producer / author of this book for such a wonderfully documented history of ABBA`s wonderful songs. Most of all a very special THANK YOU to Agnetha, Frida, Benny and Bjorn - who are, of course, the combined musical talents who will NEVER be forgotten. Review: Plenty of detail of every song. - In depth detail of Every track written, including B-sides and some that weren't released at the time. A big book that goes into plenty of detail, a must have for Abba fans.

Dance while the music still goes on
When you think of Sweden what do you think of? Cars? Furniture? Meatballs? Of course not!! You think of the supergroup and Eurovision winners ABBA!!! Love them or loathe them I bet you know every word to at least one or more songs of theirs. Their brilliant song writing skills combined with catchy tunes and the clever vocal style of overlayed vocals that sound like 6 people are singing make Abba the giant they are. This book covers the story behind every one of their songs and gives you a list of the personnel and wonderful facts and feats that make them the supergroup that they are. Read and enjoy!!!
