Hello again, dear friend so nice to see you in your/our classic ABBA Journey these is your 50th Congratulations for an excellent job Thanks for these reaction of another beautiful ABBA songs This is a very deep song in the cult album that is “The Album”, comprehensive masterpiece with nine works of art as diverse as they are magnificent "One man One woman" (1977) has deep lyrics, (I love the phrase: 'our love is a precious thing…' in the last verse) a great interpretation by Frida (heartfelt and strong) and a powerful entrance from Agnetha to add a verse before each chorus and make it magnificent, a solid backing music with a great final, and beautiful instrumental parts It is one of the best ballads of Frida in the leading voice (and is in my Top5 of all ABBA songs with Frida in lead voice) "ABBA The Album" (1977) is a golden pearl It is full of excellent numbers That is why this beautiful song is a little more relegated and with logic ; It is very difficult to beat the hit "Take a chance on me", the majestic "Eagle", and much more to comming soon (I don´t want to spoil about the next three songs but I guess that will suprise you each one) and if that weren't enough, there is the mini musical at last "The girl with the golden hair" that includes three powerful tracks that you must to react in a sequence (that I don´t want to spoil too hahaha) But not only the song is very good (8pts in my opinion) The official video is a beauty, how they play with the images of them, entering interspersed and leaving with their faces (it was filmed in the same time with another song, "Thank you for the music" in the same week of these, in 1978, 45 years ago!) I see you in the next ABBA video My best regards to You from Buenos Aires, Argentina South America

Besides Frida’s fantastic vocal it’s the harmonies that make this one of the stand out tracks from the album.

This is a underrated masterpiece👌 Girls make it look easy but it must be a really hard song to sing. Moments in which they lengthen the words and others in which they make an 'In Creccendo' (from less to more) Love this song! Take care, Matt & Lucca Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱😘👍

Such a wonderful song. Frida's lead is so touching. People talk about how Agnetha is the story teller of the band, well, I present this song (and another later on in the album) as evidence to the contrary. Can't wait for your reaction to the next incredible track.

There are some rumours that this song was performed live just for one and only time in their 1979 world tour and that was in one of their first dates in America.

"ABBA The Album" reach the Top 10 in 11 countries and number one in 5 of those. (#14 in the US) ✌ On the best-selling album of 1978 charts, it finished at #2 in Austria, #4 in the Netherlands, #5 in Germany, and #22 in the US (platinum). In the UK, "The Album" finished third losing to two soundtracks: Saturday Night Fever and Grease. Because of the Cold War, apparently... 🤔 in Poland - an unprecedented one million copies were sold, exhausting the country's entire allocation of foreign currency - ABBA gave a televised concert in Poland in 76. (ABBA in Poland) In Russia - only 200,000 copies were permitted to be pressed.

Gorgeous song lead by Frida, and her best ones (IMO) are still coming up. But why did they cut off that outro so fast? I could've listen to that orchestration for a couple more minutes... oh well. As for the hick-ups, I'm pretty sure that the person who sent you those files has recorded them off a vinyl. I've noticed a few artifacts on the recent songs, but luckily nothing major.

The ABBA/Polar Music Team: Stikkan 'Stig' Anderson Gorel Johnsen (Hanser,1980) Anni-Frid Lyngstad Benny Anderson Bjorn Ulverus Agnetha Falkskog Rutger Gunnarsson Michael B Tretow & ABBA's top tier studio and touring musicians. ____ If ABBA were an American or British group with a major record label that covered the world, the American music establishment would have been extraordinary kind to ABBA. Instead, America was always behind Europe, Middle East, Japan, Australia, Africa, Latin America. ABBA, the misfit self contained indie group with a tiny home label Polar Music that did not fit into the "pay to pay" system. So they went around the American-British monopolistic establishment to get heard. How? 1. Eurovision Song Contest (Waterloo) 2. Low budget music clips sent to TV station program directors around the world. ABBA TV before MTV. 3. TV show appearances around the world to introduce themselves and their music. Polar Music. The small record label founded by their manager Stikkan 'Stig' Anderson in 1963. ABBA/Polar Music was small so they licensed record labels in each region around the world to distribute their records. USA: Atlantic Records UK: EMI Australia: RCA And many many many others throughout the world. ABBA/Polar Music dictated the terms and kept contracts short. The woman that was in charge of all these was Gorel Johnsen. Gorel was hired by Stig Anderson in 1969 after at age 20. Gorel started as admin in Polar Music offices. Stig then promoted her to his secretary. Then soon to VP Operations of Polar Music. Gorel was also personal manager to the core four and also close friends. She still works with ABBA.

Wow, this bloke has sub human posters and now he is wearing Stay up forever T shirts , and at the same time loving his Abba. Way to go dude ! I know those 2 scenes and people from back in the day , in those days i never hid my love of Abba and the shit i got in the 80s and 90s for "admitting" i liked abba was substantial. I was so chuffed [happy] when i learnt Lemmy was a fan , and of course was in no way afraid of "admitting" it. I had never heard I am the city , so thanks a lot for that mate , Its amazing how many people have not heard Elaine [b side of winner takes it all]. Its a buzz for an oldster like me [ i am 59] to see a rockin [UK punk influenced ] dude who also knows/loves his acid teckno, being moved by and enjoying the Swedish masters of thier genre. PS The acid underground lives , recent rave in an abbandund railway tunnel , Shepton Mallet Somerset UK, ps32 SP23.

This one is famous for its outro.. among other things. Not to mention the singing skills, but they are obivous on every song any way.
Not a huge fan of this one. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's well crafted, the ladies sound amazing, but..but...it's a bit musical theatre, it's a bit soap opera, kitchen tables and keys in doors. Later they will write relationship songs worthy of Ingmar Bergman style cinema - this is still kitchen sink drama. Plus I don't like the guitar sound, it's a bit Big Country. It's not a miss but it's at the lower end of this album for me. As a kid I just thought I wondered if my Mum and Dad feel like this.
