Why wasn every song that is mentioned in the book awarded its own diary entry, especially songs like Ljuva sextital in the first chapter?
The answer to this question can be found in the introduction on page 5: “Since the subject of the book is ABBA’s recordings rather than solo efforts and production work for other artists, the recording dates of the first chapter covering the period 1966-1971, have primarily been chosen to point out how the four ABBA members gradually started working more closely.” The purpose of the first chapter, then, was to give the reader some background, and I could easily have left out the recording date for ‘Ljuva sextital’ and others altogether. However, I chose to mention them briefly because I thought they were interesting. The ABBA members’ solo work before and after ABBA will hopefully be covered in detail in future books that I may write.
