The definitive recording history of pop megastars ABBA told song-by-song and track-by-track.
Filled with fascinating photography (some rarely seen) and sensational behind-the-scenes
details. A loving and thorough dissection of every album and song released by Swedish
superstars ABBA. From their first single in 1972 when they weren't yet even called ABBA all
the way up to their Grammy-nominated studio album Voyage and their revolutionary virtual tour
expert author Benoît Clerc analyses everything there is to know about each song and session.
This one-of-a-kind book uncovers the stories behind all their greatest hits including
'Waterloo' 'Mamma Mia' 'Fernando' and 'Dancing Queen' as well as lesser-known gems. In over
500 pages no stone is left unturned. Drawing upon decades of research it recounts the
circumstances that led to the composition of every song - detailing the inspiration behind the
lyrics the recording process and the instruments used. Featuring hundreds of photographs
including rare black-and-white publicity stills images of instruments used by the band and
engaging shots of the musicians on-stage and in-studio Abba: All the Songs is the perfect gift
for any fan of pop.
