Why won ABBA release their recording of Just Like That?
Bjrn and Benny have stated that they feel that the Gemini version, recorded for that duo’s self-titled album in 1985, is the final version of the song with that title, and they can’t have two similar but different songs with the same title. Almost all of the components of ABBA’s version of ‘Just Like That’ have seen the light of day in other songs: a guitar riff from an early mix became part of the verse melody of ‘Under Attack’; most of the chorus was used in the Gemini version; the original verse was used in ‘Glm mig om du kan’ in the 2002 Swedish production of Benny and Bjrn’s musical Chess.
