It's easy - with the success of Mamma Mia! - to forget that before ABBA, the Swedish "Fab Four" were respected artistes in their own right. Perhaps none more so than Agnetha Faltskog, who was heading for a significant career as a singer-songwriter before she met Bjorn Ulvaeus. She wrote many of the songs on these discs and one can only wonder what she might have achieved had she lived in Britain or America.
These five albums - despite being in Swedish - have given me such pleasure. Even in her native tongue (ie without her disarming English pronunciation) the voice is curiously plaintive, vulnerable and appealing. It's at it's freshest too, and while the songs may be often typical romantic ballades of the late sixties, in the context of Swedish folk culture-meets-sixties pop, they are very listable to. Think Connie Francis, Doris Day, Lulu, Sandi Shaw, Dusty Springfield...and the link to her recent "My Colouring Book" album is very clear.
And with "11 Women In One House" (from 1975) we meet a more mature Agnetha, warmer voiced, and singing more confidently written songs (even though Cupol, her record label, insisted on including a Swedish version of ABBA's S.0.S.)
It's a real shame she only ever wrote one song for ABBA...(Disillusion) for she has a real gift for melody. As part of the group she was perhaps one of the most successful female singers the world has ever seen. But she never craved the success ABBA gave her and in a way that adulation destroyed what could have been. What a thoroughly nice person she must be to turn her back on the sequins and devote herself to her children. I really respect her for that.
Perhaps it's not too late for just one more self-penned album from her...
In any case, this is a great value set and anyone who loved ABBA will want to hear these albums. They show a more personal and intimate view of this exceptionally, gloriously, divinely talented woman...
Listen and fall in love all over again !

Agnetha Faltskog's five solo albums all together is an amazing collection of her work before and during her early years as one quarter of ABBA.
The original albums are a time piece of the late sixites and early seventies but sound fantastic today. Agnetha wrote a huge chunck of this material herself and is shown as a talented artist in her own right.
Each of the five albums have their original cover designs as well as a wealth of musiacl highlights from the first album titled "Agnetha Faltskog" with the first swedish hits "Jag Var Sa Kar" and "Utan Dej" through "Agnetha Faltskog Vol.2" which has "Fram For Svenska Sommaren" & "Det Handlar Om Karlek".
The third album "Som Jag Ar" has "Om Tarar Vore Guld" which is sheer class
the beautiful "Sov Gott Min Lilla Van",the bouncy "Spela Var Sang" and the lead track "Som Ett Eko".
The fourth album "Nar En Vacker Tanke Blir En Sang" has the folksy "Drom Ar Drom Och Saga Saga" and the country flavoured "Manga Ganger An" to its merits but the fith album is my absolute favourite. "Elva Kvinnor I Ett Hus" has to be the finest collection of songs and has some incredible tracks. "Tack For En Underbar Vanlig Dag","Ar Du Som Van","Och Han Vantar Pa Mej","Var Det Med Dej" and "Visa I Attonde Manaden"are litterely spell binding."Mina Ogon" is a swedish version of the only song she contributed to Abba some three years earlier and, this version is by far superior.
There's even her "solo" swedish version of "S.O.S" which, in my opinion,
is certainly not the only reason to get this album.
The only snag for all of you who don't by recordings in foreign languages is the fact that each and every track is sung in Agnetha's native tongue and all the better for it say I.Her pronunciation cannot be questioned by musical snobs and it's a joy to hear her voice mature over the five albums as well as being able to listen to what she could have contributed to Abba's amazing catalogue if she had been inclined to do so.

This 5 album box set from my favourite female singer is simply wonderful!(Or have I mentioned that already in the title?!)
It takes you on a journey from Agnetha's (the blonde one in ABBA) first LP for Cupol in 1968 to her last Swedish-only release in 1975. Although all the tracks are in her native Swedish this is irrelevant as the tunes and melodies and of course the vocals are(mostly)superb. Agnetha wrote a large number of the songs herself. You can hear the progress from the early days to that of the mid-70's but that's not to say the early ones are not up to scratch as they are! Also the packaging is good with each disc in a replica sleeve like that of the original vinyl sleeve and the discs themselves in red and black presumably like or similar to the 60's ones. The box itself is glossy and sturdy and lists all the tracks on each disc on the back. All in all an excellent buy and great value for money hence my 5-star rating.
