The new edition of Carl Magnus Palm’s award-winning definitive work is a must-have for anyone seeking the best, most up-to-date, and most accurate version of *ABBA – The Complete Recording Sessions*, as it contains a wealth of new information. Here are a few examples:
● If you have read his book *ABBA On Record* (2024), you know that the chapter on "The Michael B. Tretow Tapes" contains a vast amount of previously unknown information about ABBA’s recording sessions. While the full story remains exclusive to *ABBA On Record*, some of the information from these tapes has naturally been incorporated into *ABBA – The Complete Recording Sessions 1972–1982* to ensure even greater accuracy.
● Some of the musicians who played on ABBA’s recordings clearly recall performing on tracks for which they never received credit—details the author himself only learned of after the previous edition was published. This information is included in the book.
● New facts and stories regarding many of the individual songs: some details have come to light in recent years, while others were uncovered by Carl Magnus in old newspaper articles and radio or television interviews. One of his personal favorites—discovered in an old newspaper article—is the original working title for "Waterloo," used while Björn and Benny were writing the song.
● The book offers further details and insights into Björn and Benny’s songwriting process, covering both music and lyrics.
● There are also significant new insights into Agnetha and Frida’s methods and philosophies regarding vocal recording. ● A number of previously unknown recording session dates are now included.
● Since the previous edition in 2017, Carl Magnus has had the opportunity to listen to an alternative mix of one of ABBA’s 1982 recordings; the conclusions drawn from this mix are included in the book.
The points above are just a few examples of what the new edition has to offer. In short: the 2017 edition was really good, but this new edition is AWESOME!
