Abba - The Complete Guide To Their Music
The concept of this book sounds better than it actually is, which is a shame as it would be great to gain a little more insight into the driving force behind each song, instead it's more of a running commentary on when it was recorded and who sang lead vocals, with some subjective opinions thrown in here and there. Still, it sheds some light on some rare tracks but also misses out a few as well - where is 'Under My Sun'? Hopefully, Benny and Bjorn will one day grace us with more in-depth anecdotes about each track.
Interesting for hard core fans: Other less so
Very detailed and interesting book for die hard fans. It's always useful to get up-to-date Abba stuff, and this book satisfies the need in keen fans for this.
It doesn't really tell the reader much about the group, other than details of the recordings. There is though much to fascinate - though as I've said, only really for keen to very keen Abba fans.
