Abba The Disc

[lolly]

I'm going to yousendit all the album, as a number of people asked for a copy, and a few others are bound to be interested.

Firstly, just a dull introduction (http://s3.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=A322E4C76539B9867022880E2479D96A) from the UNICEF concert in 1979.

[lolly]

Love Has Its Ways (http://s3.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=CCD541F613204BB8A0533DBA94EEABEA)

From August 1972, this features no vocals from Agnetha or Frida, but was from the same recordings as the 'Ring Ring' album. Released as a single in Japan, and reached #22.

[lolly]

Rock n' Roll Band (http://s3.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=F912EEE131A34BC9C6C832ADC5DD661E)


The original version, which contains no vocals again from the girls(don't worry, these tracks DO get better later). Released under just Benny and Bjorn in Sweden.

[lolly]

Inga's Theme (http://s7.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=CF8F46A06B92737D6D33B45C22A51052)


Recorded for the Swedish soft porn movie 'The Seduction Of Inga'. Again, just a B&B recording, and the B-Side of their Top 10 Japanese single 'She's My Kind Of Girl'.

[lolly]

California Here I Come (http://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=44736852DD44E52E4E6A340CD13E013D)

A brief clip from a Swedish TV show in 1970, when they were still known as 'Festfolket', and although working together, were not a group as such.

[lolly]

Waterloo (http://s7.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2E2932B97A2E52BD92B74E12AF1921C7)

National Advertisement (http://s7.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=6E3EEA6F812FB936FE4BAFC61A35C13C)


With one-off lyrics to the tune of 'Fernando', this was for an Australian TV ad for the electronics manufacturer National.

[lolly]

It's also worth hunting down the video of the TV ad on winmx Sheena, if you can get hold of it.

You'll EXPLODE when you see Frida's hair.

[Sheena]

Ooooh Frida's HAIR

*reminisces*

[lolly]

Monsieur, Monsieur (http://s7.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1A86B01B0A31BD19594C9C2D3A7BD7AA)

An early version of 'My Love, My Life', previously only aired in a 1976 Swedish radio documentary.

[Toyah]

Thank ye.

[Sheena]

Is that IT ?

More SOON

[lolly]

I Am An A (http://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=C84E8AEBEF7EC1E6231CC9E26BBDCD25)

Written for the 1977 tour, and used as an introduction of the members. The chorus was later used in 'I Know Him So Well'.

[lolly]

Get On The Carousel (http://s5.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=9C80E88B2805FD958564C807ABB6C80A)

The fourth song from the 'Girl With The Golden Hair' mini-musical, but not eventually used on 'The Album'. This is recorded directly from 'Abba - The Movie'

Lovely! *gets downloading*

[lolly]

Under My Sun (http://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=6119F24B597AFDFBBD8555E24FAB5840)

This track first started life in 1979 as 'Rubber Ball Man'. Never released, parts of it were used later in 'Just Like That' and 'Under Attack'.

[lolly]

That's it for now, because quite frankly I'm bored. Fourteen more to follow, including three versions of 'Just Like That'.

[The Politics Of Dancing]

Yay lolly, this is a GOLDMINE.

[lolly]

Well I'll POSSIBLY do more after I've unloaded the dishwasher.

[Sheena]

Oh GO ON keep em COMING

[lolly]

Taken from the 'Playback' TV show, performed when this was still planned to be released as a single.

[lolly]

On And On And On (video version) (http://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=C12CCDB388CEE73E283CBACDEE34DF5D)

The version that has the extra verse which was cut for inclusion on the 'Super Trouper' album.

[lolly]

Don't Fence Me In (http://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=9F1494230A23FAEE5505251F50C4F8EC)

A capella version of the Cole Porter 1944 song, performed for the US 'Dick Cavett Meets Abba' show in 1981.

[Sheena]

Just what is the point of a having a live track when they are miming to the record ? I mean, the backing isnt even live

You Abba fanatics are WEIRD ;)

[lolly]

Two For The Price Of One (Demo - alternate lyric) (http://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=E6A957EF3011F30D3F61E8FF7FB587A5)

Lyrics were changed to be 'more suitable for mass consumption'.

[lolly]

You Abba fanatics are WEIRD ;)

I don't really understand the inclusion of it at all, either. I mean, you could put on a 'live' version of half their output if you accept this.

[lolly]

Muchas gracias!


Speaking of which, Abba have a NEW Spanish CD/DVD compilation 'Todo Abba' out later this year!

[lolly]

If anyone is sad enough to want to burn these off and make their own cover, this is the artwork on my bootleg. Better than ANY of their real covers...
