Album Notes ABBA: Bjorn Ulvaeus (vocals, guitar); Benny Andersson (vocals, piano, Clavinet, synthesizer); Anni Frid Lyngstad, Agnetha Faltskog (vocals).Additional personnel: Janne Schaffer, Finn Sjoberg, Lassw Wellander (guitar); Ulf Andersson (alto & tenor saxophones); Bruno Glenmark (trumpet); Rutger Gunnarsson, Mike Watson (bass); Ola Brunkert, Roger Palm (drums).Recorded at Glen, Metronome & Ljudkopia Studios, Stockholm, Sweden in 1974 & 1975. Includes reissue liner notes by Carl Magnus Palm.Digitally remastered using 24-bit technology by Jon Astley.ABBA's third album, released in 1975, finds the group at the end of the first phase of their career. Having scored massive worldwide success with the bubblegum classics "Ring Ring" and "Waterloo" in the previous two years, the Swedish foursome continued that streak with the sweet "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do," the silly "Tropical Loveland" and "Bang-A-Boomerang." However, "Mamma Mia" and the grandly-titled "Intermezzo No. 1" showcased a new compositional maturity somewhat reminiscent of Brian Wilson's 1964 productions. Several songs, including the brilliant, enormous hit "S.O.S." and the excellent "Hey Hey Helen" (covered by Lush 15 years later), contained the first inklings of the melancholy that would become such a fundamental part of their later albums. ABBA's self-titled album is the first key turning point of their long and exceptional career. Editorial Reviews Q (09/01/2001) | |||||||||||||
Reviews  The First of many great albumsReview created: 20/08/08 by:  This was Abba's 3rd studio album and the really the first to make waves into the British album charts.It contains some of the familiar singles that we all know and love, but it is the less well known tracks that I really like and admie.The first of these is the second track on the album "Hey Hey Helen".It has a "Glam rock" feel to it and slightly heavier feel to it than the later Abba sound.This album also has the beautiful track " I've Been Waiting For You" fantastically sung by Agnetha.If you dont shed a tear to this one you carn't be alive- why wasn't this an A sided single?Also I really enjoy " Pick A Bale Of Cotton/On Top Of Old Smokey/Midnight Special".The group really rocks to this one which was a true reflection of the way they were at this stage in their career.I really urge everyone to check this album out as you can pick it up very cheaply on most sites.Below is my marks out of ten for all tracks on this cd.
