I'm a BIG ABBA fan!!! In September this year I saw Benny and Bjorn in concert at Hyde Park, performing ABBA songs with Kylie, Lulu, Chaka Khan and Marti Pellow and it was the nearest thing I'll ever get to a experiencing a 'real' ABBA reunion, I think.... Perhaps it will happen one day... in the meantime music journalist Simon Sheridan has written this beautifully researched book about my favourite band, including a review of the Hyde Park gig I went to. It's packed with loads of information about all their original tours (with dates), plus fascinating stuff relating to their long-forgotten TV specials, plus all their single and album releases in year-by-year order. Also some lovley photos and reproductions of all their beautiful 7" single sleeves. A really special addition to my ABBA library!

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
I bought the author's last book on Kylie Minogue and have been waiting for his pop follow-up! I'm not disappointed! It's all the ABBA stuff I wanted to read about - not a load of gossip about the band's personal lives, but a full, comprehensive and up-to-date account of their long career. It's got absolutely everything - reviews of rare songs (People Need Love) to famous songs (Gimme Gimme Gimme), their Eurovision success, chart positions, world tours and everything in between. I never even knew ABBA made TV shows! I want to watch them! Some great fun pics too. Lay all your love on this book!!!

Just when I thought that nothing new could be said about ABBA, along comes 'The Complete ABBA'... a thoroughly entertaining and deeply informative book cataloging everything the 70s supergroup produced - all of their international singles and albums (including some obscurities), their little-seen TV shows and tours. There's also sections on 'ABBA - the Movie' and the 'Mamma Mia' stage show and recent film. I'm re-reading it already and it's worth buying for the fab photo inside of Agnetha wearing an incredibly revealing dress at Waterloo Station!! I had really been looking forward to 'The Complete ABBA' and it hasn't disappointed!

Nothing to write home about.
This is just another "list" type book, re gurgitating what is already known. Emphasis on their Tv appearences is good. Read more

Interesting enough- not for die-hard fans- more for new fans!
If you're a new ABBA fan..great!!! Old fans will find it a dissapointment..full of facts we already know.

Disappointed!!
The title says 'Complete ABBA'. In the first few pages it details what the book does not cover; call me cynical, but how is that complete? Read more
