Abba/Sweden 1975

ABBA made their breakthrough in 1975 with the hit single “S.O.S.” The one and only live album that allows you to witness the scene is now available. This work includes “June 28, 1975 Esilstuna performance”. This is a masterpiece audience recording of a show in his homeland of Sweden. It’s rare to be an ABBA bootleg, but it’s extremely valuable in 1975. Speaking of 1975, it was a breakthrough year when the “WATERLOO” tour and the “ABBA” tour overlapped, and the biggest hit “GREATEST HITS” was also released. First, let’s check the show’s position from the activity schedule at that time. ●1974《“WATERLOO” released on March 4th》・October 22nd: Solentuna performance・November 17th-30th: Europe (12 performances)・1975・January 10th-22nd: Northern Europe #1 (7 performances)《“ABBA” released on April 21st》“THE FOLKPARK TOUR”・June 21st-July 9th: Scandinavian #2 (14 performances)←★Here★《“GREATEST HITS” on November 17th Release》This is ABBA in 1974/1975. The Eskilstuna performance of this work is an act of “Nordic #2”, the so-called “THE FOLKPARK TOUR”, which took place after the release of “ABBA”. All performances of “Nordic #2″ are in Sweden, and this is the 6th performance. This work, which records such a show, is a masterpiece audience recording that was exceptionally good at that time. It is said to be the only record made in 1975, but its rarity is incredible. He’s the type of person who momentarily wonders if he’s really an audience, and although his tone has a vintage feel to it, his core is really on and powerful, and it approaches you with almost no sense of distance. And although he was able to absorb the lively applause, it became quiet during the performance, and I thought, “At this level, it’s common for FM broadcasts.” Of course, it’s not like an official live album, but it’s a great recording that stands out from the audience, like a vintage radio recording. With such a powerful sound, a show featuring a dazzling array of early masterpieces is depicted. Let’s organize the contents here. ●RING RING (2 songs)・He Is Your Brother, Rock ‘n Roll Band ●WATERLOO (7 songs)・Hasta Manana, King Kong Song, Gonna Sing You My Lovesong, Sitting in the Palmtree, Honey, Honey, Waterloo, Watch Out ●ABBA (6 songs)・Hey, Hey Helen, Rock Me, S.O.S., Intermezzo No. 1, I’ve Been Waiting For You, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do…and this It looks like this. It seems that the last encore, So Long, was not recorded, but the concentration and reduction of the first three discs is amazing. To explain the situation at the time in more detail, although the album “ABBA” had been announced, the single “S.O.S.” had not yet been released in the UK and the US, and was only released in their native Sweden. Of course, the single “Fernando” from “GREATEST HITS” is still available. Only such famous songs “just before GREATEST HITS” are being shown off. Of course, it is completely different from the two major official live albums “ABBA LIVE” and “LIVE AT WEMBLEY ARENA”, and even if the two albums are combined, only four songs overlap, “Rock Me”, “S.O.S.”, “Intermezzo No. 1″, ” Waterloo” only. The other 11 songs are filled with dizzying and rare performances (the MC speaks in Swedish, which makes no sense, but is full of exoticism). In any case, the 1975 show is a blessing just to be able to listen to it and to exist. And the singing voices of 25-year-old Agnetha and 29-year-old Frida. This is a live album that allows you to enjoy such a precious era with an exquisite sound that rivals radio broadcasts. A 100% real stage performance of four young people who can only be met through bootlegs. Live at Folkets Park, Eskilstuna, Sweden 28th June 1975 TRULY AMAZING/PERFECT SOUND (55:23) 1.
