Singles released exclusively

[edit]

The pre-ABBA songs "Hej Gamle Man", "Tänk Om Jorden Vore Ung", "She's My Kind of Girl", "Det Kan Ingen Doktor Hjälpa", "En karusell/En Carousel" and "Love Has Its Ways" were released in Sweden and/or Japan as singles (1970–1972). These songs were released officially as singles by Björn & Benny, but some featured vocal contributions from both Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. The German version of "Hej Gamle Man" ("Hey Musikant") was released as a single in Germany (1971), while France saw a release of "Inga Theme" as a single in 1971.

"En Sång Och En Saga" was released as an Agnetha Fältskog solo single in Sweden (1970). It features the remaining ABBA-members as vocalists.

"En hälsning till våra parkarrangörer" was released as a promo single (1972) in order promote ABBA's then-upcoming tour of the Swedish "Folk Parks". This track was in fact a series of snippets of then well-known ABBA-songs and solo-songs with a spoken overdub featuring all of the ABBA-members. It was officially released as part of the Deluxe Edition of the album "Ring Ring" released in 2013.

"I Am Just a Girl" was released in Japan in 1973. The song was a B-side "Love Isn't Easy (But It Sure Is Hard Enough)" everywhere else.

The Spanish version of "Chiquitita" was widely released—throughout South America as well as in Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, South Africa, Spain, and USA. The Spanish versions of "Andante, Andante", "Thank You for the Music" ("Gracias Por La Música"), "I Have a Dream" ("Estoy Soñando"), "Happy New Year" ("Felicidad"), "When All Is Said and Done" ("No Hay a Quien Culpar"), "Slipping Through My Fingers" ("Se Me Está Escapando"), "Fernando", "Hasta Mañana", and "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" ("Dame! Dame! Dame!") were released as singles in various Spanish-speaking countries—primarily in Spain and South America—as well as some in Japan and USA (1979–1981).

Music videos

[edit]

“Film clips” showing groups performing their songs had been used to great effect by major artists like The Beatles since the mid-Sixties as a convenience for those who were reluctant or unable to tour or make appearances abroad. In the summer of 1974, when there was a demand for the group's presence in the United States, they hired the director Lasse Hallström to direct the group's first film clips, for "Waterloo" and "Ring Ring". Hallström had been making pop film clips for television since the late Sixties, and had recently directed a sequence of successful short comedy skits for Swedish television. The videos were successful, and the following year the group rehired him to make four promo clips of the songs they felt had the strongest hit potential on the new album ("I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do", "Mamma Mia", "SOS" and "Bang-A-Boomerang"). Hallström would go on to make most of their in-house promotional clips, often on a very small budget (the four 1975 films were completed in two days, at a total cost of less than 50,000 kronor (£5,500), and Hallström did the editing work himself from his apartment). The relationship ended in 1982, prompted by changing tastes and demands and complaints from ABBA's distributors that Hallström's low-budget approach made it difficult to market the band. Director Kjell Sundvall and cinematographer Kjell-Åke Andersson, an up-and-coming filmmaker team, were hired to replace them for the final two promotional videos, "The Day Before You Came" and "Under Attack".[79]
