A few notes on the Notes:

Some sources are unidentified because the quotes were featured in an earlier work by me, but the notes I made while writing that book vanished in a computer crash, and I haven't been able to locate them for this book. If I come across them in the future, the Notes document will be updated.

Some entries are incomplete in the sense that I may not have been able to determine who the reporter was that conducted the interview that has been quoted in the book. Sometimes the name simply isn't available in the paper or magazine where the interview was printed, but in some cases I may only have an incomplete cutting from, for instance, a fan scrapbook, where the name of the reporter hasn't been included. If I manage to determine who conducted those interviews, the PDF file will be updated.

Finally: I'm a bit of a Notes fan myself, in the sense that when I'm reading non-fiction I often like looking up where this or that quote originated. However, it annoys me that in many books, if you want to look up a quote on, say, page 383, the only reference you may get is something like "Smith, p27". If you don't know what "Smith" refers to, you have to go through the entire notes from the beginning to find the full reference.

In the Notes for ABBA - The Complete Recording Sessions, you will only have to go back to the start of each chapter section to find the full reference. Which explains why some sources that have been used frequently are listed in full several times in the Notes.
