Books about ABBA and related subjects

The story of the creation of Från ABBA till Mamma Mia! is on the page for the English-language edition. However, the Swedish-language version was the first edition of this book project to be published, in November 1999. It is also the most comprehensive edition, containing 48 pages that were taken out of the English version.

There was quite a bit of discussion back and forth as to which pages should be removed when the English language edition was put together, and I have to confess that I don't have a 100 per cent grasp of the exact differences. But these are some of the things I do know that you will only find in the Swedish version:

*More pictures in the Introduction chapter

*More pictures and text in the 1979 tour chapter

*The entire chapter about ABBA's appearance on the television programme Show Express in November 1980

*The entire chapter about the recording of Bravo Tu As Gagné by Mireille Mathieu (with ABBA members involved)

*The entire chapter about Frida's video for Here We'll Stay

*More pictures and text about the Chess musical

*More pictures and text in the chapter about Benny's Klinga mina klockor album

*More pictures and text in the chapter about Björn and Benny's Kristina från Duvemåla musical
