Music In Review: ABBA 1973-1982
THE DEFINITIVE CRITICAL REVIEW
This is the ultimate critical review of the music of Abba on record, on
film and on stage.
Abba were hugely successful during the seventies and eighties, selling
over 400 million records worldwide, and their music is still incredibly
influential today, enjoying a massive popular renaissance through the
worldwide influence of the stage phenomenon “Mamma Mia”.
Drawing on rare archive footage much of it unavailable on DVD, a leading
team of music critics and working musicians revisit and review every Abba
album from the pre-Waterloo era through to The Visitors. Also featured are the musicians from the stage show and Bjorn Again, who

The 48-page book features a comprehensive track-by-track analysis of
every Abba album from 1973 to 1982, with many rare photographs of the band.
