ABBA – Människorna och musiken

published October 17, 2026

In the autumn of 1996, a Swedish, reworked version of my 1994 book ABBA - The Complete Recording Sessions was published by the publisher Tiden under the title ABBA – Människorna och musiken ("ABBA – The People And The Music").

Basically, the idea behind the book was to make it more like a regular book. So I simply jumbled the paragraphs around, removed the diary format of The Complete Recording Sessions and tried to make it a more straightforward read. Also added for this new book was a chronology and discography at the back of the book, which I felt would be an easy way to access certain important dates in ABBA's career.

A Russian version of this book (ABBA – Ljodi i mozika), with plenty of photos added, was published in 2001.
