The complete Abba - Sheridan, Simon (Reynolds & Hearn, 2009)
From 1974 to 1982, ABBA rewrote the rules of European pop music. The domination of American and British acts was ended, as the Fab Four from Sweden sold 370 million records and topped the charts around the world. "The Complete ABBA" tells the whole story--the songs, the hits, the tours, and how they achieved their trademark Wall of Sound harmonies. It also tells the personal story of the band, and how global stardom and constant touring affected their lives. The book also covers the ABBA musical and movie, and the unfulfilled plans for an ABBA museum in Stockholm. For all ABBA fans, this is simply an essential purchase.
