The excellent pop/rock photo publisher Premium Publishing will publish a new ABBA book in January 2010. "ABBA in America - a pictorial travelouge" is the title.
This was going to be ABBA's last big tour, their last live performace as a group on the world stages. The US tour in fall of 1979 and the Japan tour during winter/spring 1980 became a triumphant tour for Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni.Frid.
Journalist Leif Schulman and royal photographer Charles Hammarsten covered this tour for the weekly magazine "Hänt i Veckan". The intention was to make a book about the US tour. It became an unbeatable adventure for ABBA, but also for Leif and Charles who closely got the privilege to closely observe how our country's biggest music export finally conquered America.
Today the book meets a new audience. The original book has been completely rewritten and lots of colour photos have been added - all presented in a fresh, modern design. A book that focuses on the American adventure but also takes the reader on a special experience with ABBA in Japan. It was in Japan ABBA were on stage together for the last time...
The book will be available in both Swedish and English.
