ABBA
Bjõrn Benny & Agnetha Frida "RING RING"
POLAR RECORDS Cat# POLS 242
1973 ORIGINAL SWEDEN Pressing
**********************************************************
This is a rare release, as the foursome had only NOT yet assumed the initial name 'ABBA' - still issuing their records as 'Björn & Benny Agnetha & Frida'!
A year later, they became Eurovision Song Contest winners in Brighton UK with 'WATERLOO' - their fame became meteoric, even comparing with The Beatles!
A nice sleeve featuring perhaps their most modest pre-glam stage outfits.... plus, Agnetha is wearing maternity clothing to accommodate her pregnant figure.
They had quite decent careers individually in Sweden previously, but within the next 4 years they became the Worldwide supergroup, and everyone knew their separate names by then.
This album is titled after their FIRST Eurovision attempt, a great worthy tune - but it didn't quite get them a win. The next year was a very different story!!
Note they have famously re-formed, and following the success of 'Mama Mia' they have found a renewed energy together. Such original rarities are proving to be a 'sound investment'.
A nice rare and unique collectable!
Condition;
The VINYL is NEAR MINT.
FULL shine, a beautiful copy.
The LABLES are NEAR MINT.
The FULLY LAMINATED CARD COVER is EXCELLENT, a small sticker from the Swedish shop at bottom left, removable from the laminate (but I left it on as it is original to the lp).
See photos.
