ABBA The Official Photo Book Update - Bjorn

Bjorn has now had a look through the layout for The Official Photo Book - and what does he think ?

18:00 20 November, 2013

“The time with ABBA was so intense that it’s hard to remember everything. These pictures have brought back a lot of memories; the book is a wonderful mixture of classic photographs as well as images I’m really seeing for the first time. This is the closest I will ever get to having a photo album!” says Björn after going through the layout of ABBA The Official Photo Book.

ABBA Backstage Stories Book - Sneak Peek

Here is the new cover for the English language version of the book 'ABBA: Backstage Stories' by Ingmarie Halling with Carl Magnus Palm.

I don't like this new cover and the name 'ABBA The Treasures' is totally wrong for the content of the book. Goodness knows what the publishers are thinking with this change.

Be sure to scroll down for a sneak peek inside the book :)

Available in March 2014.

Agnetha Receives Gold Records From Australia & UK !

On Tuesday night stood Agnetha for the first time in 25 years on stage and sang before a cheering audience gala in London. The day after the celebrated singer with gold records from both the UK and Australia.

The place was for Agnetha to the last secret comeback was the Hammersmith Apollo in London, where she worked with Take That member Gary Barlow performed the duet I Should've Followed You Home on the BBC's big charity event Children in Need .
The English crowd's jubilation knew no bounds when Agnetha - who since ABBA's breakthrough with Waterloo in the Eurovision Song Contest nearly 40 years ago, is something of an icon in Britain - invited gala on her first stage appearance at the age of 25.
- Agnetha's performance was a secret until she walked out on stage at eleven o'clock on Tuesday night , says Peter Nordahl , who along with his co-producer Jorgen Elofsson on the album A [ Triple- A / Universal Music ] flew to London with the singer as early as Saturday.
- It was fantastic to see Agnetha enter the stage before a packed Apollo, who had no idea she would be there. Quite naturally , she goes in and own the room. Invites you to dance with Gary Barlow both of which perform at the absolute top level. A somewhat unexpected and historic moment . Jörgen and I never cease to be amazed by this wonderful and talented woman. She was absolutely amazing!
Last night the whole party dinner together and celebrated the distribution of gold records from both the UK and Australia.
BBC Children In Need gala broadcast Thursday, November 14 on BBC One. Other artists who participated in the gala was , among other things The Wanted , Tom Jones, Barry Manilow , Robbie Williams, The Little Mix, Kings of Leon and Jeff Lynne . Although it was Agnetha Fätskog by far the most high-profile star at the gala.
I Should've Followed You Home is the second single taken from Agnetha Fältskog's album A which was released in May this year.

New ABBA Collection Item - 1977 Crew T-Shirt

I received this t-shirt today from the ABBA The Museum Web Shop.

It is a replica of the t-shirts worn by the crew during ABBA's 1977 Tour.

Unfortunately, they only come in men's sizes so this 'small' t-shirt would fit my husband ! lol

Still a nice keepsake from the 77 Tour :)

This particular t-shirt was on display at ABBAWORLD in the 'dressing room' scene.
