AGNETHA FÄLTSKOG

Welcome to my rather new page about Agnetha. The opening of this page is of course prompted by the current stream of releases by her. Unfortunately news has been rare through out the 90's.

Agnetha to make a comback?
It seems as Agnetha has decided to leave her Garbo like living. She is currently going through songs for solo album. It is not known if it will be in English or Swedish. If she does not feel the songs or her performance is not up to the standard she wants nothing will be released. It will be at least half a year before anything will hit the shops. That may mean we will get a very special gift for the first Christmas of the new Millenium...

Görel Hanser confirms that Agnetha is chosing songs, but say it is far from certain that anything will come out. If it eventually does, it is not likely that Agnetha will be very active in promotional work. Further more Benny dies not rule out writing songs for Agnetha. He says that all the ABBA members has a very good relationship nowdays.

"Garbo" joins the party.
Agnetha briefly left her Garbo like hiding when she was on concert organizer/promotor Thomas Johansson (head of EMA Telstar) celebrated his 50th birthday. The event was on on the 17th at Cirkus in Stockholm (currently the venue for Kristina Från Duvemåla. Other guests included Frida, Eva & Efva, Per Gessle, Marie Fredriksson, Magnus Uggla, Tomas Ledin... Thomas Johansson worked with ABBA's tours.

That's Me compilation released. 
So finally it was out, a long overdue Hits collection with Agnetha. Released on Polar I expected it to be, shall we say not compiled in the best of ways. [It seems to me that Polar has over and over again made strange compilations of ABBA material, and not putting full effort in those, or the re-issues.] Well the result, all though nice to hear and with a few rare songs on it, is a misch mash of "Best of" and "Rare and unreleased". Three ABBA songs, a few singles previously unreleased on CD, some singles (NOT in their special single edit versions) and some single B-sides. See for your self in the track listing. And of course the unreleased Queen Of Hearts, a great song which is also chosen as the single, see below. On the plus side is, all songs are remasterd, a nice piece (in English) in the booklet by Carl-Magnus Palm.

If you like the two duets with Ola Håkansson, I can recommend you to visit the Secret Service page. The Way You Are appears in a edit of the "Extended Version" on the Secret Service album Aux Deux Magots. Even if they are titled as a duet with Ola, they are in fact 'Secret Service & Agnetha Fältskog'.

New song released. 
The first single from the forth coming album That's Me - The Greatest Hits was released here on the 15th. A two track CD is expected, but for now only a four track CD is available. The Queen Of Hearts is the only new song of the four. It is not really new, being produced by Agnetha herself and Michael B. Tretow, it was released in Swedish back in 1979 as När Du Tar Mej I Din Famn. The three other songs are all from 1985: One Way Love, I Won't Let You Go and Eyes Of A Woman.

Another compilation on the way. 
Yet another new compilation are on its way, That's Me is slated for release in June. As opposed to the one released, it will be in English, and contain some hard to get material. PolyGram, which releases it, has via it's subsidiary Sonet, the rights to the duets with Ola Håkansson [lead singer of Secret Service] a few years back. The Way You Are, which of course was the single A-side, was also included on Secret Service 's album Aux Deux Magots in a shorter edit of the 12" version. This album has been deleted for years. Fly Like The Eagle the B-side, has only been released on CD on a hard to get compilation album. Both these tracks now see the light of day on this new compilation. There may already next week be a 2-track and a 4-track CD out.

New compilation Svensktoppar out.
A new compilation is just out. Apparently it was released at the end of April. Svensktoppar is an album with only Swedish songs on it. Basically the same as 10 År Med Agnetha, with Sången Föder Dig Tillbaka added and with a new sleeve. It is part of a new series of compilations, called Blå Gula Toner.
