ABBA - The Complete Recording Sessions (BOOK)

ABBA - The Complete Recording Sessions by Carl Magnus Palm. First Edition Hardcover. Extremely rare and out-of-print book Published in the UK by Century 22 Limited (1994). 128 pages. Based on extensive research and countless hours of original interviews with all four members of ABBA, their engineer Michael B Tretow and many of the musicians that played with the band, this book recounts the ABBA story in a way that has never been told before. Beginning with that very first mid-sixties recording session and tracing the formation of the group through their first tentative coloborations, Carl Magnus Palm take us on a fascinating journey through ABBA's sensational career. Continuing with the watershed March 1972 recording of the group's first single "People Need Love", he recounts the full story behind all their recordings. This definitive book "ought to be of interest not only to the avid ABBA fan, but also to anyone who wants to know more about the group that had a fair amount of impact during the seventies" as Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus have written with typical reserve in their foreword of the book. It details the numerous unreleased recordings that the group left behind and is fully illustrated with many rare photos, record sleeves, and original recording documents and lyric sheets that have never before been published. A true collectors's item, this book when available on the overseas market usually sells for R500 +. Book in excellent to mint condition
