Riassunto

This is the first complete and authorized official visual history of ABBA, one of the greatest pop groups of the 20th century.

ABBA has sold a stunning 400 million records, and in some markets has even surpassed the Beatles. This first and only official book on ABBA was created with the full cooperation of the band members themselves and containing more than 600 rare and heretofore unseen images from throughout the band’s career. Publishing with the 40th anniversary of ABBA winning the Eurovision Song Contest, which is what put the band on the map, publication is being synchronized worldwide to great media attention. With a foreword and commentary throughout the book by the band’s four members, this is truly the complete story of one of the most popular bands of all time.

L'autore:

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.
