Two books by Carl Magnus Palm: ABBA At 50 and ABBA On Record

ABBA At 50 and ABBA On Record - which is which?

published August 28, 2022

I understand there's been some confusion about two forthcoming ABBA books of mine - and how could I possibly blame anyone for being confused? So, just briefly:

ABBA AT 50
This book, published by Palazzo Editions, is a heavily illustrated journey through ABBA's career, from childhood to the present day. It is published in celebration of the 50th anniversary of ABBA's first record release, People Need Love, and everything that's happened in the five decades since then. ABBA At 50 will be published on 8 September.

ABBA ON RECORD - PACKAGED PROMOTED REVIEWED
This is the book I've been working on since 2019. As the title intimates, it's a detailed examination of what happened to ABBA's music once it left the recording studio. It also has exciting appendices, such as The Michael B. Tretow Tapes and the Voyage album recording sessions. ABBA On Record is scheduled for publication in 2023, exact date to be confirmed.

I do hope this helped straighten out some question marks.
