*Regarding Osmosis, you'll know the song when you hear it. It's of the hardest songs to obtain these days - totally obscure but very memorable. They were a group of South African session musos. Interesting that the song was a big hit in Australia and appeared on many of those K-Tel compilations.

You used to be able to buy these books, which was actually a poster that folds out- on the back was lots of pics and on the front a huge print.... |
Suzy, I'm not quite as a fan as you with ABBA when it comes to all the memorabilia but certainly with the music itself. Two important points: lyrics and the musical geniuses that are Benny and Bjorn, and the incredible harmonies of Agnetha and Anni-frid. That Eurovision 1974 performance is just wonderful. When you get artists like Bono and Eric Clapton publicly acknowledging their brilliance, that says something. And I'm sorry I have to say it... Agnetha...grrrrrrrrrrr
I think every boy at school was besotted by her.
