Synopsis

ABBA THE OFFICIAL PHOTO BOOK is the first authorised and official photo book about one of the greatest pop groups of the 20th century, covering their entire career. The group has sold almost 400 million records, in some markets topping The Beatles. The book has the full co-operation of Björn, Benny, Frida and Agnetha, who have contributed a foreword and personal commentary on the pictures. This extraordinary book contains more than 600 images, more than 100 of which have never previously been published. See images from the pre-ABBA years, the formation of the band, ABBA's incredible rise to success with their break-through at the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton and the rocket ride to global super-stardom that followed. Private photographs are included as well as unpublished pictures by famous press photographers, alternative shots from album cover shoots and behind-the-scenes pictures from the major tours. There are photographic insights into their subsequent careers as well as brand-new photographs of the four band members taken during the last few months. This is the definitive photo book on ABBA!

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Jan Gradvall is one of Sweden's most prominent music journalists. At age 16 he and some like-minded fans founded the punk fanzine Jörvars Gosskör, publishing seven editions between 1979 and 1984. In the three decades since then, Gradvall has become one of Sweden's best-known writers on popular music. As a long-time independent journalist, he has contributed articles and features to many Swedish newspapers and magazines. Gradvall has also contributed to several anthologies, and in 1995 his collection of articles, interviews and essays was published. He has received several awards, including the Swedish Journalist Club's Grand Prize in 2013. It cited the incisiveness and breadth of his work. Gradvall contributes regularly to Swedish newspapers and magazines. He has a weekly column in the business daily, Dagens Industri. In 2013 it published a major article on ABBA written by Gradvall the first for more than 30 years where all four group members agreed to be interviewed. The very first record album Gradvall owned was Waterloo, obtained when he was 10.
