The atmosphere was electric! I have seen many concerts through the years by many bands. ABBA were dynamite, they delivered a charged concert that was breathtaking and spellbounding. It was fun to see ABBA on TV in Sweden getting acolades last week in 2009. It was also pleasant to hear both Agnetha and Frida on stage joking and laughing together and dispelling the rot about them being enemies. ABBA were unique and so clever with music. So many different numbers that did not sound like the many repititions that can be created often sounding like a repeat of the last hit like many bands seem to produce today ABBA led the way . Their film clips were by far the best in the 70s. The concerts were full of energy and joy. In Australia we LOVED ABBA - they ruled the top ten charts for a decade and more aussies had an ABBA album than any other band in history - three out of four Australians had an ABBA record. Fernado was number one on the top ten for a year! ABBA still holds the record today thirty years later. We were so lucky as there has never been such harmony between voices like that of ABBA since. The sound of Agnetha and Frida reached every corner of the globe. I travelled through Africa in 1981 and it was amazing to be on a bus travelling over pot holes the size of craters sitting next to Africans and chickens and pigs with the sound of ABBA playing all through that night trip to Kilimanjaro - 18 hours and the cheers for more ABBA by the locals. Travelling through India I sat in a small cafe in the town of Leh in Kashmir listening the the Super Trouper album by ABBA. I wonder if the band realise the great happiness that was created by tunes that touch people and made them fell happy. The genius of Benny and Bjorns creations were touched with gold when Agnetha and Frida sang. No one has been able to capture the same pulse since! THANK YOU IAN Please write that book! Ian

You are probably right at the top! I have always wondered and am completely surprised as to why you haven’t yet written a book in connection to ABBA and the whole of the ABBA World Stories/News etc.. I can guarantee you that I will be purchasing a book with you as the author of it! It will definitely be well worth the read of your great knowledge and thoughts in regards to ABBA. The reason being the fact that you are a genuine ABBA-fan! You are an extremely intelligent man whose works are always to fascination and perfection, which I have been admiring, respecting and loving for many years now! Keep up all the excellent work forever more! I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of the wonderful contributions you’ve made in regards to the ABBA-fan related projects such as your websites etc., which I have been enjoying immensely! I wish you well, happy and successful in everything you do in the future. Kind Regards Samuel Inglles 26 April 2006 Hi Ian
