Another ABBA album on the virtual decks tonight, to be revealed just before 7.
Really interested to hear what people think of this perhaps less discussed album from their back cat, so I hope you'll join me later!

It’s ABBA!
The self-titled 3rd album is something of a transitional album for ABBA, because although it features a few ropey efforts you would expect a Eurovision-winning group in the 70s to follow up with, and traces of their early desire to be more of a glam rock group, it does also feature early examples of the sparkling, glossy pop that would define the rest of their 70s career and the first songs that saw them properly taken seriously by critics.
They weren’t quite in world domination territory yet, but there are clear signs that they’re heading in that direction, and with B&B finally realising that the vocal duties are much better handled by A&A, the pieces of the ABBA we know and love were falling into place by this point.
The original 11-track album is on the decks tonight along with two other tracks recorded during this period that have since been added to the deluxe edition.
Some all-time ABBA classics are in here along with some genuine career low points – I hope you’ll join me for the ride!
Playlist below, which we're doing on YouTube tonight, but if you'd rather be down with the kids and listen on Spotify, just look for the Bonus Track version (not the deluxe one with all the foreign language cuts on it).
Hit play at 7!
