Description
ABBA's blonde goddess Agnetha Faltskog's 1st EVER Swedish magazine interview at the tender age of 18 years old. Agnetha is describing to the interviewer in Swedish how she feels that her first single 'Jag Var Sa Kar' has just hit no. 1 in the Swedish charts!! Agnetha also mentions in the interview how she grew up in her native Swedish town of Jonkoping, her very first job as a telephonist (check out the picture of Agnetha holding two 1960's telephones!!) whilst trying to gain acclaim as a singer, describing how Little Gerhard first contacted her after listening to her demo tape. Agnetha also details how she came about working with Bernt Enghardtz & his orchestra & family life with her sister Mona & her parents Hennes & Ingvar Faltskog.
This interview dates back to 1968 making this clipping 41 years old and is in superb condition for its age, slight light browning @ top of clipping but due to its rarity I dont feel that this matters!! It has been lovingly & carefully stored in a plastic folder for all those years!! The main picture is taken from the sleeve of her 1st single 'Jag Var Sa Kar') with Agnetha wearing a long bell-sleeved mini dress with a large spot(s) at the end of the sleeves & at the bottom of the dress & suede knee length boots. I have also taken a photo of the back of this clipping to authenticate that it is definately from 1968 - check out the fashion pictures!!! I have also painstakingly typed this interview so that you can have a read of this 1-off interview before you decide to bid. This article is so mega, mega rare that I am confident that there is not many (if any!!) still in circulation. So good luck with bidding & feel free to check-out my other abba items!!
Heading reads: Kvickt Opp I Svensktoppen.
Main picture reads: Sjungande Agneta ar bade langbent och langharig.
Interview reads:
Sista sondagen i januari steg en 17-aring fram ur de okanda schlagersangerskornas led och sjong sig direkt upp till tredje platsen i Svensktoppen. Man kan nastan tala om att en my schlagerstjarna helt plotsligt tandes. Agneta Faltskog heter flickan, som helt overraskan-de trangde sig upp i hasorna pa Anna-Lena Lofgren och Anita Lindblom (de innehade da forsta respektive andra platsen pa rankinglistan). "Jag var sa kar" hette den romantiska melodistumpen, som hon slogigenom med. Agneta har sjalv satt bade text och musik till laten.
Sota, blonda Agneta hor hemma i Jonkoping, och dar har hon under det senaste aret jobbat some kontorsbitrade pa en biffirma. Med melodier har hon pysslat sen hon var bara sex ar. Och hon ar inteden enda i familjen Faltskog, som ar musikalisk. Hennes pappa, lagerchefen Ingvar Faltskog, upptradde i yngre ar flitigt pa de lokala revyscenerna i Jonkoping och dess omnejd. Han har ocksa fortattat visor och sjungit in grammofonskivor.
I TV har vi tidigare stiftat bekantskap med Agneta nar hon mederkat i "Studio 8". Hemma i Jonkoping och i grannstaden Huskvarna kanner man henne bast somvokalist i Bernst Enghardtz orkester. Skivan, som forde henne upp pa Svensktoppen, sjong Agnetha in for ett halvt ar sen. Det var Lille Gerhard som tipsade skivbolaget omden unga sangerskan och om hennes lat "Jag var sa kar".
Sen har Agneta ocksa skrivit en schlagermelodi, som hon har kallat "Utan dig". Den har hon skickat till Gunnar Wiklund for bedomning. Han har gillat den, och nu araven den insjungen pa platta. Agneta funderar pa att agna sighelt at sangen. Darfor har hon sagt upp sin plats pa bilfirman. Hon har redan haft anbud fran. Tyskland och svenda folkparker. Men fortfarande, nar detta skrivs, haller honstand. Hon pastar, att hon helst vill vanta ett tg med de langa turneerna. Hon ar ju bara 17 ar, sa det aringen bradska, tycker hon. I var och i sommar vill hon fortsatta att sjunga med sina "gamla" kompisar Bernt Enghardtz och grabbarna i hans orkester.
Slutligen vill vi namna, att Agnetas 13-arigasyster, Mona, ocksa ligger i sangstartgroparna. Pappa Faltskog ger godarad at bagge sina musikaliska dottrar. Gasp
