Publisher's Synopsis
Once known for successful pop records and a wardrobe of polyester jump suits, this is a reassessment of a band now enjoying a revival. Abba were once reviled by most critics, but now bands like Bjorn Again and Erasure keep the phenomenon thriving. This is their background story.;The biography features the early years when as engaged couples as they then styled themselves, they failed to make it as Sweden's entrant for Eurovision with a song called "Waterloo". It caused a national outcry. It is a history of worldwide hit records, infighting, partner swapping, and financial disaster - they do not get one kroner in royalties for many of their songs, and bitterness. But it is also a story of triumph. A book that is written with the co-operation of the members of the band.
