ABBA The Official Photo Book Update

ABBA In Pictures - full steam ahead!


The work with the new documentary: ABBA IN PICTURES – The Photographers’ Stories, specially produced for the limited editions is moving ahead at full steam. In this film the surviving photographers of ABBA’s most famous pictures are telling the stories behind the pictures. The production team have recently met with Wolfgang ”Bubi” Heilemann who took the famous image of ABBA wrapped in tin foil, the designer Rune Söderqvist and Görel Hanser (Görel is talking about Bengt H. Malmqvist who is no longer alive).
ABBA IN PICTURES – The Photographers’ Stories is included in the limited editions only.
Stay tuned!

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.
