There seems to be some confusion about your Swedish book, ABBA Människorna och musiken [The People And The Music] (1996). Can you tell us exactly how it differs from The Complete Recording Sessions?
Basically, I had realized, much to my own naïve amazement, that the format of the first book was too detailed and too complex for many readers, which I thought was a pity. I wanted to reach a wider audience, wanted people to read what I had found out: the stories and the anecdotes from the ABBA members themselves, all those interesting facts. So I jumbled the paragraphs around, removed the diary format and tried to make it a more straightforward read. I also added a couple of pages about Kristina från Duvemåla, some biographical details, plus some other facts and observations. The chronology and discography (easy to understand even for a reader who does not know any Swedish) at the back of the book is hopefully an easy way to access certain important dates in ABBA’s career. There are 18 b/w pictures in the book: some of the pictures are quite common, some rare, and one or two previously unpublished.
