ABBA Their Story
John Tobler
Abba can confidently claim to be one of the most successful pop groups ever to have hit the music scene. Between 1974 and 1981 they had nineteen Top Ten hits in Britain, all but four of which reached the top three. This is their story, from their beginnings in Sweden to their unquestioned domination of record charts all over the world.
John Tobler, the well-known BBC Radio One personality, author and music journalist, gives us an intriguing insight into the world of Abba - their personalities, music and business interests. This lively account reveals the behind-the-scenes activity underlying the all-important 1974 Eurovision Song Contest, the international concert tours, the albums, singles and TV specials. It describes their eventful career to date, its set-backs, difficulties and spectacular successes.
The 64 page book is lavishly illustrated both in colour and black and white.
The cassette contains fourteen of their most famous tracks, including no less than six Number 1 Hits.
