It's on ABBA's first album, Ring Ring:
I happen to own the Boxed Set! Complete with singles.
Who could resist Agnetha Faltskog? TBH, My Mother would have thought Anni-Frid Lyngstad more sensible...
But that is how it goes.

I too liked her better. I saw a couple of videos in which Agnetha was trying to horn in on Frida's solo, and Frida had to actually physically push her back out of the way. I just read that she is a princess and a countess, after her marriage to Prince Heinrich Reuss in 1992.
Me, sincerely, as Abba music almost is the summit of banality in my eyes ( and not only in mine...).
Best regards!

Banal or not banal, they together with Stickan Andersson (songwriter) and Michael B Tretow (engineer/musician/...) were very skilled, did all job by hand, toured and recorded several albums and were massively popular. In a way they are sans pareil with many artists today who get ready-written, ready-recorded, ready-sung, ready-played music from a computer and just have to look sexy on the alb ... um cov er .... ?????? .... on the download server .... [CONFUSED].
I am no fan of ABBA, but I see their greatness.
