Abba: All The Songs

The definitive recording history of pop megastars, ABBA, told song-by-song and track-by-track. Filled with fascinating photography (some rarely seen), and sensational behind-the-scenes details. A loving and thorough dissection of every album and song released by Swedish superstars, ABBA. From their first single in 1972, when they weren''t yet even called ABBA, all the way up to their Grammy-nominated studio album, Voyage, and their revolutionary virtual tour, expert author Benoit Clerc analyses everything there is to know about each song and session. This one-of-a-kind book uncovers the stories behind all their greatest hits, including ''Waterloo'', ''Mamma Mia'', ''Fernando'' and ''Dancing Queen'', as well as lesser-known gems. In over 500 pages, no stone is left unturned. Drawing upon decades of research, it recounts the circumstances that led to the composition of every song - detailing the inspiration behind the lyrics, the recording process and the instruments used. Featuring hundreds of photographs, including rare black-and-white publicity stills, images of instruments used by the band, and engaging shots of the musicians on-stage and in-studio, Abba: All the Songs is the perfect gift for any fan of pop.
