A little message from Carl:

"This person would like to thank everyone who's contributed, spread the word and wished him well over the past few months. Your enthusiasm and generosity of spirit have given him the opportunity to create a vastly improved version of the book he first published 21 years ago (at which time the attached video still was shot). So THANK YOU!"

Wasn't he cute ? And so young ! :D

ABBA The Complete Recording Sessions - Project Update

My book on ABBA's recording history, ABBA: The Complete Recording Sessions, will be published in a completely revised, updated and expanded edition. Originally published in 1994, this new edition will feature more details on exactly how ABBA wrote and recorded their music, including classic hits such as ‘Waterloo’, ‘Mamma Mia’, ‘Dancing Queen’, ‘Knowing Me, Knowing You’ and ‘The Winner Takes It All’.

I've been authorised by ABBA’s record company, Polar Music International/ Universal Music, and ABBA members Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson to listen to more unreleased music, alternate takes, and alternate mixes. The scope of the book has also been expanded to feature a lot more information about ABBA and their music: how it was packaged, received by the critics, and much more.

Please note: The book will only be published if it is successfully funded through this Indiegogo campaign.

You can pre-order the revised, updated and expanded edition of ABBA: The Complete Recording Sessions in two different formats:

1. Printed hardcover format shipped to your address anywhere in the world

2. ebook (electronic book) format supported by Sony Reader, Kindle, iBooks, Nook, and most other readers and devices.

When you pre-order, your contribution will be immediately withdrawn from your credit card or PayPal account. If the campaign does not reach its goal, you will automatically receive a refund.
You can contribute as many times as you like and choose as many perks as you like. If you’d like to contribute on behalf of a friend, or several friends, this option is also now available.

Bjorn Ulvaeus Takes Selfie With Museum Figure !

How cute is this ?
Bjorn takes selfie with his Museum figure - and even adds a little caption ! :D

New ABBA Life Size Figures At The Museum

Our NEW ATTRACTION in all of its glory!

Four life-size replicas of ABBA members Frida, Agnetha, Björn and Benny in silicon, dressed in their legendary stage clothes from the late ‘70s. Work on the figures has been ongoing for just over a year, headed by talented make-up artist and artist Göran Lundström at Effektstudion in Hammarby Sjöstad, Stockholm.

The members of ABBA themselves have been intricately involved in the production of their replicas, with detailed measurements... taken on all four, in order to come as close as possible to the way they looked back then.

The amazing figures is a must see in real life!

ABBA Live In Sydney 38 Years Ago Today !

On 3rd March 1977, my family and I were sitting outside the R.A.S Showground in Sydney, waiting for the roller doors to open so we could run like crazy for seats.

At 8.30pm, ABBA ran out on to the stage in Sydney for their first Australian Concert.

The most exciting time of my life !

And no, we were not bothered by the rain :)
