The updated version of "Abba In America" was published in 2010 and included great pictures of the group from both their 1979 tour of North America and the 1980 dates in Japan.

Collection - Agnetha's "As I Am" Book
Today i am posting some images from another book from my collection - this time it's Agnetha's biography "As I Am : Abba Before & Beyond" which was first published in 1997. The book, which was co-written with Brita Ahman, had been published in Sweden in 1996 titled "Som Jag Ar".
I have to say that I read a lot of biographies from musicians and people in the entertainment business and I was pretty disappointed with this book - I think Agnetha has had an amazing life and has a great story to tell but this wasn't it.
So with any luck we may yet get the definitive story of Agnetha's life ; however on the plus side the book included some great pictures - more of which later...

Rare Four Track Abba “Greatest Original Hits” Four Track EP
Here is an image of a 4 track 7" Abba EP from my collection titled "Greatest Original Hits" which was released in the UK by Epic in 1982. The following tracks were included on the EP -
- Super Trouper
- Lay All Your Love On Me
- The Winner Takes It All
- One Of Us
Apparently Epic also released this as a cassette single, containing the all four tracks on both sides, however I have yet to add that to my collection.
