ABBA News - Frida Back | 12 New Songs From Björn & Benny (BAO) & MORE

[@t.lucalake8963]

The backup singer verified everything I believed Ms. Frida is just by watching her at Abba Voyage. This beautiful, gracious lady absolutely loves her fans and is very appreciative of their support. ABBA'S music is timeless. I play their songs every day at the gym while working out. ABBA music contributed to my happy childhood. 😊 👍 THANK YOU!!, Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny, and Anni-frid.

[@michaelrochester48]

Meeting Frida would be a lifetime dream for me. She has always been my favorite member of ABBA. Please Lord give her many years so it can happen.❤❤❤

[@christianoazzuro6711]

I wish B's b manages an interview with Frida the sooner.Can you imagine this?!Or maybe with Benny.Agnetha is also rumoured to be aware of his channel and fond of his work (according to J.Elofsson's confession). I believe that some Abba fans can be the best interviewers doing what many journalists can't do.

[@TheFridaFan]

Hello BB! Welcome back! I was completely shocked when I saw a "new" notification from the Frida Vevo channel. And it's one of my favorite songs of her solo career: "Twist In The Dark."

[@bobbysbrother137]

Welcome back! I felt the same.

@@bobbysbrother137 Hello, does the audio played in the show correspond to the studio versions of the songs or is the audio used that the group members reinterpreted at the time when they were being motion captured? Thanks.

[@MarcosFull]

Thank you@@bobbysbrother137 for you kind reply.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

0:02 what a fantastic photo,they all look naturally gorgeous.Magnetic.This must be around the time of 'THE ALBUM" recording sessions 1977.And look at Bjorn smiling looking so shiny happy!Seems he was expecting the moment to be a father once again for the 2nd time to his son Christian Peter.

[@michaelrochester48]

Thank you for mentioning Roger Palm and his fantastic drumming on “Hey Hey Helen”. Always one of my top Abba tracks because it proved that ABBA could rock!!

[@helenrstephens]

I would love to see Frida she is such a true inspirational lady

[@trevordickson8617]

Just wanted to say a quick thank you. Your channel keeps me up to date with all the ABBA news. I would miss most of it if not for you. I didn't realize ABBA had a YT channel until you just told me. I hope ABBA appreciates all you do. THANK YOU.

[@vincentcrossvinclassic]

🎉Happy birthday dear legendary lady, I was very young when I heard ABBA,s music, it was quite an inspiration ❤

[@alexioverdo5225]

That Frida moment in VOYAGE was my peak emotional moment.So disarmingly loving.

[@shyman99]

It felt like I received a special gift when I saw the alert about a new video from you. Imaginations can run wild and we sometimes think the worst. So I was so relieved to discover you are still with us and better than ever. Lots to catch up on as our 4 heroes are as active as ever. Welcome back!

Contente de vous revoir Bobby Brother . Ce sont d'excellentes nouvelles . Felicitations à Bjorn pour son nouveau mariage , et j'ai hâte d'écouter le nouvel album de Benny Anderssons Orkester . Toutes les photos sont très belles . Merci Bobby pour toutes ces informations sur ABBA . Bon retour parmi nous ❤

[@DeidreL9]

Oh my gosh, I’ve been worried about you! I’ve been worried and there’s no way we can find out. This is brilliant! Thank you!

[@joegoodman9232]

Hej BB ! Welcome back . We missed you! We appreciate you and your hard work finding info from ABBA'S activities. Tack! Joe , USA

[@clay9185]

Welcome back BB, we missed you! Re Abba The First 50 Years.. yawn.. I’ll buy it buying all things Abba but disappointed nothing we don’t already have. Living in Australia where ‘On & On & On’ peaked at 9 on charts, I would’ve put that on compilation & left ‘Little Things’ off.. Maybe there will be a local version like they did with Abba Gold. In Australia, ‘I’ve Been Waiting For You’ even peaked at No 49. An Alternate mixes cd would be great. So many extended, edited, demo versions of their songs I’ve heard would be great & finish it off with ‘Just Like That’.. That’s my dream anyway.. Missed you BB, great to see u back. There’s nobody like you bringing us all things Abba.. Have a great day!

[@danielhoarau441]

Très content et rassuré d'avoir de tes nouvelles Bobby's brother. 🎉

[@elisasa3287]

You’ve been missed A LOT, BB!!! So nice to see you back amongst your dedicated followers, and I’m sure you must know how much we continue to appreciate and treasure all that you do for us!! All the best from the USA!

[@christianoazzuro6711]

Welcome back our friend.Tbh I got kinda anxious , i even dared to email you a 3 words question "Are U ok?"Got no reply and got even more worried!But then i thought "take it easy,,, he's up to smth and he knows when it's the right moment to show up".

[@wolfmusik1000]

Now i known what i´ve been missing the last few weeks........Welcome back BB ! .....thanks...take care...

[@joekeane789]

Thank you Bobby for the update you have been missed, Bjorn obviously still has plenty of "lead in his pencil" Great informative video and may look at another visit to Voyage next September in the hope that Frida will appear in person.

[@timderry8458]

Fantastic news updates as always Bobby’s Brother! Good to have you back after your summer break & looking forward to more videos. I didn’t know of Roger Palm’s passing - very sad, he was a great drummer on so many varied ABBA songs 😢

[@ThinkingWhileStitching]

YAY!!!! So glad you're back! Great summary of Abba's summer. Bjorn sure does keep busy!

You are the best. Have a nice day. ✌️🙋‍♂️

[@marcopaulo-qv7tz]

I am very intrigued by Frida's visits to ABBA Voyage, I always wonder if these visits to London are also linked to other activities, either contractual or artistic on the possible musical or technological evolution of the concert, particularly since There is the possibility of the show being duplicated on another continent. As for Björn's statements, for years we have been accustomed to him saying seemingly contradictory things but which are often tidbits relating to projects currently in development. So whatever they are (Mamma mia 3 or another film, Songs, Abba Voyage Concert...), I would absolutely not be surprised to see the group reunited again if a big event were to see the light of day.

[@dreasbn]

jeder braucht eine Sommerpause. Wohl verdient !

[@lidianota3150]

Sono contenta di rivederti Bobby era tanto che che non ti sentivo. Ho letto e visto tante cose e foto della famiglia Biorn Agheta e figli mai cose nuove.spero di risentirti e rivederti presto.

[@cmtsm1456]

Great to have you back, BB. i’ve been waiting for this video all day today! Thanks for all these updates. So much to look forward to!

[@bobbysbrother137]

Thank you for your generous support and kind words!

[@helenrstephens]

Great to see you back bobby's brother. I have missed seeing your videos

[@marialuiza-sf8fn]

O grupo ABBA nunca acabará. São maravilhosos, principalmente a Agnetha e Frida. Foi muito lamentável a separação desses casais,todos nós sentimos muito a separação deles. De certo nos abalou muito. Nunca nenhum outro grupo atingirá o potencial do ABBA. Nós,os brasileiros amamos vcs!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@michaelrochester48]

Hanser was the one who got me several autographs from the band, including a rare Agnetha autograph. I am always indebted to her.

[@janparish7895]

Excellent!! Welcome Back BB! ❤❤❤❤

[@nowuffjee8546]

Thank you!

[@dazb9013]

Welcome back Bobby's Brother. In 1988 in the UK, a vhs tape called ABBA -More video hits was released featuring a blue cover and a The Album inner sleeve picture on the front. It contains the video to Twist in the dark and also other Frida, ABBA and Agnetha videos including Can't shake loose. Volume one was purely ABBA videos. Benny's new BAO Orkester cd came with a very limited edition (signed by Benny) card from a well known Swedish music store. for initial orders. A nice touch.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

Yes that VHS you are refering i got this.Bought it from London in '89 (must have been around Easter's time) from HMV!That was the first time i saw TITD.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

ps If i remember well ... strangely enough the cover photo of my VHS copy features Abba in a photo session from around the time of SNC 1978.

[@soniamax7162]

Missed you Bobby's Brother I kept looking out for new video welcome back❤

[@helenrstephens]

Congratulations to Bjorn and Christine

[@David-uf8ex]

Good to see you back 😎 I agree about the first 50 years a very underwhelming release it doesn’t do the first ten years any justice as that had such a chic photo shoot for the time . The 50 years cover has to be one of my least favourite shots of ABBA it’s very dated . Something from voyage would have been nice maybe with the original 82 cover used also as it has never been used apart from that 82 compilation and it’s such a great photo of the band .

[@דליההרצברג]

Thank you BB,I missed you!

[@nowgood5679]

Glad you are back! Thank you for all the news.

[@dannyd493]

Right. So next year round end of September. Goona book a week of ABBA voyage so I can see my favourite Member...FRIDA that's not weird... Is it... Lol Great seeing you back Bobby Brother. 🫂👍👍

[@Yilin-ic1ki]

Thank you for the high-quality videos about ABBA! I bet this is the best ABBA channel I have ever seen and that't the reason why I followed. I truly hope you keep doing it in the future! Cheers~

I've noticed on Qobuz that the First Fifty Years is due to be released in 24-bit 96 kHz audio format. As this is the first time these songs have been released digitally in high resolution I am very excited about this release. No one online seems to have noticed this.

[@Charly29]

Who remastered these songs for this new release? Thanks

[@Charly29]

I hope they crédit who remastered the songs

[@MarcByrne]

So glad you're back BB with this summer review. And very satisfying to hear and see you expressing in a very diplomatic way the disappointment with the updated and ridiculous version of The Singles. The typography is a real shoddy and disrespectful job to the band, their art and design teams over the years and to the fans. I for one would not have this intrusion inside my physical collection, maybe better amongst some bootleg material. Honestly, what is this Font, so spaced out, thin and unimpressive?! Looking forward to seeing more videos from you! 🎉

[@DiegoMartinezDP]

Nice to have you back, BB! Like you, I have very little enthusiasm over the new comp. In fact, I feel this is very much for completists only. There are folks who would want to buy it just for the sake of owning it. All the more power to them but I rather skip it. Up until now, my quest was to actually get a copy of “The Singles - The First Ten Years” since I didn’t have one…to my surprise, my housemate was holding on to an extra copy he found on a garage sale, and gave it to me. To hear this album, see the progression from the beginning to the end of their initial run, is truly fantastic. I guess I’ll give that to the new compilation: it rounds the story a bit more, even with “No Doubt About It” as the final track and its message of longevity…just like ABBA’s story, “this isn’t where it ends”.

[@renabeavis]

Thank you . Loved it . !

[@LudiusQuassas]

Great to see you coming back! And personally, while my excitement over the new The Singles release is a bit low, I'm always positive for the inclusion of the Voyage tracks in Best Of compilations, because I see Voyage as an achievement to be celebrated. And now I wonder about whatever it was that Björn really meant by insisting that ABBA isn't over yet...

[@christianoazzuro6711]

Imo, despite VOYAGE's album kinda ''unfair" "non-M,Tretowed mix",i pick 3 songs that are already classics for me.'FAITH"/"SHUT"/"OTF".Of course only time will tell,but i believe if some of them get included in a possible future MM3 to accomplish the trilogy they will get boosted even more. Kinda same way it had happenened with ''LAYLOM"/"STMFingers"/"Angeleyes" etc that back then weren't (comparatively) the major Abba bangers but time did them justice after the were given more chances and even newer Gens became familiar with them.Btw LAYLOM is a top choice (together with GGG and DQ) in Abba's discography amongst younger Gens, and just think that it was only a limited maxi single release back in '81.Sabrina Carpender of the ''Espresso" fame often did LAYLOM while touring as a supportive act with T.Swift.

Thank you for your videos!! Bit of a sidenote but I have a hunch that for next year’s ABBA’s (the self titled album) 50th anniversary they will release a double LP half speed master as it is the only album thats missing in that edition

[@Smgs-ue7tj]

Just a couple of days ago I was thinking to myself, what happened to BB!? Maybe KZbin hasn't recommended me his videos for any reason but then I realized that you hadn't been here for a while and I got worried, and just today you upload again. I'm so happy that you're back and OK 🥰

[@williampaganucci1084]

Thank for the update BB. I was wondering what happened to you? Hope you are well. I was friends with one of the tribute bands and they invited me, my brother, his wife and my 3 nieces back stage. Got photos with Roger Palm and Ulf Andersson. 🎹 👍

Finally! I left some dramatic comments on the last video😅 Your long absence felt very out of place. Next time you plan to take a several months break, feel free to say so. Some people get worried, especially since most of us know nothing about you. So how would we know if you're OK or not? All the best.

[@zoftigbeatnik]

It seems that Benny,Bjorn and Frida are extroverts and Agnetha is an introvert. They are always in public but Agnetha seems to love her privacy. If they would release some of the finished songs of their deleted songs, people would be so happy. And includes "Just Like That"!

[@carolynsanders3185]

[@dreasbn]

just listened to the new BAO and i wonder if the two mentioned songs possible for Voyage are on here... the notion came when i heard "Som en sprucken mandolin" and "Sa länge det finns liv, finns det hopp", i can hear Frida and Agnetha on leadvocals respectively.. maybe it was Lagt kort ligger....

Bobby's Brother, I'm so glad you're back! You are the best!

[@sebastiandemarco]

Hey! Some of us were a little worried about your absence so hello and welcome back BBs! About Frida I want to say that when she says "I'm so touched", and her voice is almost to break and cry, that makes me so emotional! In this time I have seen all the things you compilled in this video and I realized that little thing Bjorn said in the radio interview, and that made me want to review the comments some of they made for the press after the receiving of the royal order. Frida says something like "I shouldn't say it but it's like a good closing". And then she talks about the progressive music movement in the 70s and how that movement was against them (ABBA). I loved her (more!) when she says "I thought would be funny for some of them to be here today and receive an award. 😆

[@kyria3357]

I wonder what it means when Björn said that it (ABBA) was not the end… 💗

[@keke1962]

Maybe he means that with the Abbatars and the show in London, ABBA are still in the present (and future). My personal idea is that ABBA is not arrived at the end because all 4 members are still alive and still can sing and make music. So you never know what can happen...

[@michaelrochester48]

Let’s hope for a release of the entire 1981 Dick Cavett meets ABBA special including an uninterrupted “on and on and on” without any end credit interruptions toward the end and gets given the Blu-ray treatment

[@BolsaChicaRadio]

Unfortunately it's been known for years, DECADES, that STV simply erased the master video reels & the U-Matic broadcast cartridges, so a FULL re-master of the coveted CAVETT video concert, seems highly unlikely. Benny owned the 24 track audio session tapes, so IT IS POSSIBLE, that an audio-only version can be released, but I really feel Benny has lost interest in that 1981 "The Visitors" promotional project. BolsaChicaRadio

[@michaelrochester48]

⁠@@BolsaChicaRadio better a second generation tape with quality audio. Because of the advances in sharpening images, I’m sure it could be fixed to some degree. I’ve seen some good quality images on KZbin. It’s historic because it’s the last live concert they ever did so it does have a special meaning.

[@alexioverdo5225]

@@BolsaChicaRadio 'erased"?!really?whara shame.

[@BolsaChicaRadio]

​@@michaelrochester48 You are correct to some degree, I too have seen a German or Swedish VHS footage of "Knowing Me, Knowing You" here on good ol' fashion You Tube; Frida was FANTASTIC SOUNDING!!! However, the video quality is marginal at best & the audio is in broadcast TV mono, of course. This is true, with technology softwares, the best video that is out there can be obtained and restored, but WE STILL HAVE TO REMEMBER, STV still owns the intellectual rights to ALL the video; still obtained, lost or erased. Benny had to lease the few master video reels that did not get haphazardly erased by the irresponsible staff at STV and then add his pristine mixed audio to it that his personal engineer Michael Tretow prepared, for the "BLUE" Box Set, which by the way, I am fortunate enough to own.
