ABBA – digging deeper…
The huge excitement among both public and media at the news that ABBA’s celebrated concert at Wembley Arena in 1979 is coming to CD, digibook and vinyl has only underlined yet again the incredible, enduring power of the songwriting and performing skills of the Scandinavian pop legends. You can feast your eyes on both the digibook and triple vinyl editions, and other ABBA treats, and pre-order your copies here.
To get you in the mood, we’ve devised a very special 25-song uDiscover playlist of ABBA – digging deeper… Brilliant and timeless as their sequence of hit singles remains, the ABBA catalogue contains a vast array of other highlights, spread across their eight studio albums released in eight years, live recordings, and many other collectables such as non-album b-sides, original Swedish language versions and more.
Many of these tracks have been largely unheard over the years, and this is where we put that right. Included in our selection are songs from all eight studio albums between 1973’s ‘Ring Ring’ and 1981’s ‘The Visitors,’ the Swedish recordings of their early hits ‘Honey Honey’ and ‘Ring, Ring’ and tracks that were never originally on albums (although they have been added to subsequent deluxe reissues).
These include ‘Lovelight’ (the b-side of ‘Chiquitita’), ‘Cassandra’ (on the reverse of ‘The Day Before You Came’) and another late-period number, ‘You Owe Me One,’ which resided on the flipside of Abba’s last widely-released single, ‘Under Attack.’
Also included, as a real taster for the upcoming release, is the live version of ‘The Way Old Friends Do,’ recorded at that Wembley engagement and included as the final track on 1980’s ‘Super Trouper’ album.

O ABBA pra mim sempre foi meu grande e inesquecivel grupo musical. Ann-Frid (FRIDA) com seu jeito gracioso , forte e com sua linda voz , foi o grande marco para essa admiracao incondicional que tenho. Frida , inclusive é a mais charmosa, exuberante, linda e com uma presença impar, jintensa, forte e maravilhosa em todos os shows que o ABBA fez.

Theres no need to give up and move on.
A group in Australia is currently working on an ABBA tribute album, faithfully recreating the ABBA sound using sophisticated modern mastering techniques and an array of specially selected microphones to recreate the sound as perfectly as possible.
The album consists of songs from ABBA’s heyday that were never released as studio versions, songs that were taken off albums as they were too similar, songs that were given to other artist, and songs that were never recorded in english. Here is the list for this album.
01. I Am An A
02. Funky Feet
03. Rikky Rock ‘N’ Roller
04. To Live With You
05. Hesitating Hanna
06. Please Change Your Mind
07. I Am The Seeker
08. It’s Nice To Be Back (Again)
09. Better To Have Loved
10. If We Only Had The Time
11. I’m Still Alive
12. Arrival
in 2015 and 2016 there are another two albums and an EP along with more bonus tracks on the way.
The group needs funds to create this album, and are currently attempting to croudfund on Pozible.
Supporters of the croudfunding campaign also receive 4 bonus tracks written by ABBA and either never recorded or given to other artists, Just A Notion, Get On the Carousel, If I Can’t Have You, and Rockin And Reeling, in english for the first time ever.
The album and all 4 bonus tracks for a limited time only costs only $30AU
To support them here is a link to their croudfunding campaign

It means a lot to us that strangers around the world have been our best friends through the difficult process of bringing rare and unreleased ABBA tracks to life for a new album.
Please keep in contact with us through Facebook: the “Back Again” album is about to be released 😀

Until now I know every song of Abba, Benny, Agnetha, Bjorn and Frida.
Including every solo action from Frida and Agnetha, also the hotel Benny.
Chess and Gemini.
Maybe, just maybe, you have something i don`t have
I would be thrilled.
Thank you for your music
I was 14 when i admired you as a group now i am 54 and still waiting for something new.
Please let me hear something i don`t know
Sincerely, Albert

Still to this day I have never heard anything that comes close to the girls harmony, agnetha with her high range and Friday with soprano, how lucky were the boys to accidentally had these two sing together and perfection was born, nothing will ever come close to the abba sound, people and groups have tried for the last 30 years and failed, abba is timeless
