DESCRIPTION TRACK LIST
STUNNING 1979 BROADCAST RECORDING
Formed in Stockholm in 1972 by Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, ABBA would go onto become not just Sweden’s premier popular pop group ever, but one of the most popular and successful musical groups of all time, and among the best-selling music acts in the history of popular music, topping the charts worldwide from 1974 to 1983, and in 2021.
On 13 September 1979, ABBA began ABBA: The Tour at Northlands Coliseum in Edmonton, Canada, with a full house of 14,000. During the next four weeks they played a total of 17 sold-out dates, 13 in the United States and four in Canada. On 19 October ‘79, the tour resumed in Western Europe where the band played 23 sold-out gigs, including six sold-out nights at London's Wembley Arena. Among the finest shows the group played during this leg of the tour however took place at Stadthalle, in Bremen, Germany, on 1st November ’79, a concert which was recorded for live FM Broadcast across Germany and which was also synched across much of North America too.
This astonishing recording is now available on vinyl for the first time on this new 2LP set, which will no doubt delight the band’s millions of fan still flying the flag for very possibly the best pop group of all time.
