This one is from Denmark.
Printed on beautiful thick poster paper and around an A1 size - fabulous !
Unfortunately, this one also states that Agnetha is the voice of ABBA - however, since it is written in Danish, I can overlook that fact ! lol

New ABBA Collection Item - Agnetha Vinyl Banner
I designed this banner of Agnetha and I love it !
My favourite picture of her from the new photo shoots :)
The banner measures 90 x 50cm and is on a great quality vinyl - better than paper posters I think.
I will post a pic of the actual item as soon as I receive it :)

Agnetha Faltskog - Elvis Presley Still Does It For Me
The Comeback: ABBA's Agnetha Fältskog
5.20.2013
By Sami Pritchard
This summer, ABBA’s Agnetha Fältskog returns with A, her first album of original material since 1987. It's already debuted at No. 6 on the UK album charts. Although you should temper any expectations of the “Dancing Queen”–style belters with which she achieved fame and glory, the bittersweet ballad “When You Really Loved Someone” proves that her voice has lost none of its elegance. We caught up.
What’s the most personal song on A?
It would be the song that I wrote myself: “I Keep Them on the Floor Beside My Bed.” It was a great satisfaction to be able write music again.
Why do you think ABBA has attracted such a loyal gay following?
I think it partly comes from how ABBA was presented from the start -- with high heels, spectacular costumes, and music you wanted to dance to.
Why is Sweden everywhere, from Robyn to Ikea and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo?
We have been very open-minded about picking up influences from around the world, especially from England and the United States.
It’s your voice that dominates in the ABBA classic “The Winner Takes It All.” How did you feel watching Meryl Streep sing it in Mamma Mia?
It’s never an easy task to try to perform a song as well as the original, but she is a great actress and did her own interpretation that suits the
movie wonderfully.
As a child you were a big fan of Connie Francis. Who are your other music heroes?
One of my absolute favorites is Nina Simone. When she sings it hurts inside of me. Elvis Presley still does it for me. I wish I’d had the chance to sing a duet with him.
ABBA now has its own museum in Stockholm, including a life-sized hologram of the band. How does it feel to be a tourist attraction?
A bit weird because we are still alive! But it’s good to have a place where I can leave my ABBA clothes and accessories.

Agnetha Faltskog 'I Was A Flower' Download Available Now !
Agnetha's single 'I Was A Flower' from her upcoming album 'A' is now available for download from Amazon.UK - but only for those in that region:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/I-Was-A-Flower/dp/B00CBXIG6E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366588139&sr=8-1&keywords=agnetha+faltskog+I+was+a+flower
Agnetha Faltskog 'A' - Full Album Review
A fabulous review of Agnetha's new album by Gunnar Moe:
This is ”A”
The essence of the album – if you ask me; Why is love so hard to understand!
Things suddenly came flying my surprised way and I’ve had the wonderful privilege to listen to Agnetha Fältskogs totally faaaaabulous album “A”. I can tell that for all of us this will be the very pop-album of 2013 (and Agnethas best since ABBA if you ask me!)! Musically “A” has no surprises but presents our dear star back where she belongs; in pure pop-heaven for real songs – produced as we loved them in the seventies! And yes – it’s 2013 and this sounds so fresh and 2013 even if it sounds yesterday so to say!
“The One Who Loves You Now” – We do know this single! It’s absolutely brilliant!
“When You Really Loved Someone” – The first worldwide single – totally wonderfull!
Then… the rest of “A”….
“Perfume In The Breeze”: A mid-tempo pop-song theme love (of course) with a light breeze all over. Agnethas vocal is light and easy. When she starts singing you feel a split second that she is revisiting “I won’t be leaving you”. A song for sunny summerdays with cute whistling, harmonies and very recognisable Agnetha.
“I Was A Flower”: The first of the albums two fabulous drama-ballads! This one really grows on you. The mature Agnetha does this one just beautifully. “I was a flower – now look what you have done….” This will be a favourite to many fans I guess!
“I Should’ve Followed You Home” : There is a lot of expectations to this duet with Gary Barlow. Years ago the Agnetha-duet “Fly Like The Eagle” did maybe not create pop-history! There is – sorry to say – nothing outstanding with this Barlow-duet (if you ask me) - going from ballad to nicely radiofriendly midtempo in a way one has heard endlessly. It has a strong chorus and is produced very well. There are some nice echoing backing vocals here as well (by Agnetha I guess). Even if they were not recording together, their vocals blend very well together.
“Past forever” : Back to a wonderful and strong Agnetha ballad….
“Dance Your Pain Away” : The intro makes me think on german ESC; “Djengis Khan” or violins for Earth, Wind & Fire, Boney M or Baccara… hehe! Get ready for the disco!! Very seventies but I don’t get the ABBA-references mentioned to this one. Vocally the young Agnetha was maybe more powerfull for “As Good As New” or “Lay All Your Love On Me”. At the first listen through I felt this one lacked a bit more motivated vocals… that she should have given a bit more! Now I just adore it! In the chorus she sings lines such as; “Let there be rumours / Pay no attention…” With her vocal, Agnetha is the disco-queen of coolness! I imagine a dull coctailparty from 1977 that suddenly explodes into this track. At fifth time on repeat you just beg for another gin tonic before it all starts again. It’s for sure a real fun discoparty-thingy that grows on you for every listen and a perfect choice to be played at G-A-Y on May 4th.
“Bubble” : Another wonderful ballad in recognisable Agnetha-land! :)
“Back On Your Radio” : An irresistible suggarcute chorus in almost ABBA-sound (well it lacks Frida of course). It could have been even more up-tempo, but it is something very tempting about this one. I guess fans will either find it a bit sort of childish or love it. I LOVE it…hehe! Agnetha as a flirty teaser on the radio…couldn’t be better!
“I Keep Them On The Floor Beside My Bed” – with the line; “Why is love so hard to understand”. Agnetha's composition – a big ballad….. and what a fabulous composer she once again proves to be! I cried… at second listen! The torch song of the album… enough said… and yeah well – my favourite! The song sums up everything that is Agnetha Fältskog (as we know her)! Respect and thank you so much for this one Lady A!
I simply totally LOVE these songs!
