First Time Hearing ABBA - Another Town, Another Train

[@michaelwilkins7135]

It's in my top 5 Abba. Great song. The flute...

[@jay_ooh]

Ahhh...early ABBA...they're so fresh and "with the times", this song is exactly what the early 1970's were about musically ...very folky and relatable to the core.

[@nealwhaley63]

Bjorn was lead vocalist in his pre-Abba band The Hootenanny Singers. He knew his way around the microphone.

[@nellies]

Finally some Another Town, Another Train appreciation!!!!

[@christianoazzuro6711]

That GHits vol 1 lp with the 'wooden bench photo' in the cover is a real icon.A huge chapter in the whole '70s.In UK this one was the 2nd best seller of the decade.(REAL millions of copies, not 'air-fogy-faceless-unidentified streaming)It was people's straight choice.

[@tootsie5052]

As an old ABBA fan this song brings a tear to my eye.

[@alejandrosantanaborquez917]

Both of you will love 'Bang a Boomerang' (oficial video) Also: 'Hasta Mañana', 'Watch out', 'Ring Ring', 'Honey Honey', 'Rock me', 'Lovelight'... And for Voyage album: 'Just a Notion', 'No doubt about it', 'Little things' (lovely video), and OF COURSE: 'Keep an eye on Dan' Best regards from Chile 🇨🇱👍

All fantastic tracks but you haven't mentioned my 2 favourites on the album 'Nina Pretty Ballerina' and 'He Is Your Brother'...

[@Cyrus_got_verified]

This is the most underrated abba song imo

[@eduardooscar309]

So nice to see you again in our ABBA Journay "Another town, another train" so nice and lovely song, from the first álbum "Ring Ring" (1973) when They called themself: "Björn & Benny ; Agnetha & Frida" Björn did a beautifull lead voice and Agnetha & Frida gives a fantastic harmonies in the chorus I think is the same style as the future worldwide hit "Fernando" in 1976 the "Ring Ring" album have a great A-side, and Another town Another train is a good one, 7pts to me These first album must be analyzed as a Björn & Benny duet proyect, with the ladies Agnetha & Frida as guest artists invited; that's why there more songs with Björn (or Björn & Benny) in leads voice than the girls All these will we different after ABBA's triumph at Eurovisionin UK 1974 with their smash hit "Waterloo" I see you in next ABBA reaction GOD bless you and stay safe best regards from Buenos Aires , Argentina South América

[@jimhoppe8317]

Tyler and Marissa nailed it with two important points. As Marissa said, this song is so "relaxing". Everything about the overall sound is truly relaxing. Tyler makes the point of the mix of an upbeat sound with with a more troubled tale. So many of ABBA's songs are amazingly a mix of joy and melancholy. And it sometimes takes multiple listens to pick up on it. Thank you so much for reacting to this early ABBA gem!!😊🚂😊

[@AFLOVEable]

The fine art of ABBA, taking a sad theme and color it in a relaxing, upbeat sound. It's totally 70's, when people knew that relations can go wrong, but didn't get traumatized over it for life. Most importantly, the end doesn't have to come with hysterical fits,but can role along in a civilized manner. Sometimes, it's just fate happening, or in a modern term, karma.

[@The2ManFreakshow]

Early ABBA, heaven...

[@christianoazzuro6711]

(1:34 up to 2.00)To Tyler....Abba's music garden was multicolorful.Any flower in.

[@CraigMcKee]

This is also on the original greatest hits album, which is where I heard it first. Love it. And that's Bjorn on lead. Please do Honey Honey next! That's also on that first greatest hits record.

[@craignotgreg547]

First time I heard it was on Gr hits 1. There were so many songs on it that I was not familiar with. In a short time, I grew to love them all. That album is what started my voyage with Abba. I was 13 and I ordered it through the RCA music club. This cassette got played the most. There will never be a greater band. I'm Grateful for their music.

Very good song. I wish ABBA had redone this song 5 years later with their new magic ABBA sound + Agnetha & Frida as lead singers. That would make the song great!

WONDERFUL ABBA Song...the Next: NINA, PRETTY BALLERINA Please...!! 😘

[@medmon3476]

Can't believe you haven't done Ring Ring yet ☎️. Thanks for Tyler's mucho enthusiasm in this reaction - I thought he was about to explode with excitement at one point (either that or he was suppressing a sneeze). PS I like all the songs on this album but Ring Ring is the most obvious one you haven't done yet - another favourite is Nina Pretty Ballerina (one of the happiest melodies of any ABBA song).

[@nickchristoforou7850]

If they do "Ring Ring" they should listen to the original clip, not the remixed version with the sax. The song is much better without the sax (thought I love the instrument elsewhere, it's just overbearing in the remix for this song).

[@medmon3476]

@@nickchristoforou7850 when I watched the video of Ring Ring in the last year or so I heard the sax and thought to myself 'I could've sworn that that sax wasn't there or wasn't as prominent in the original song ' and now the mystery's been solved. Yeah it's better off without it - definitely - but I don't hold up high hopes that Tyler and Marissa will know which is the original video when they decide to react to it but that's Ok.

The early stuff is less sophisticated but there are so many great tunes, Nina Pretty Ballerina next, please, please, please!!!

[@mikesmithson6805]

This is the bands debut album Ring Ring (1972) the four is already established solo artists in Sweden before they form abba. Other notable songs from their debut LP were: people need love (the very first abba song), he is your brother, disillusion (the only abba record which Agnetha solely wrote) and the title track Ring Ring. I also have a sweet spot for the song love isn't easy but it's sure is hard enough. Go check them out next time.

[@petersinnott2114]

This is my chill out song its so good the two girls are great to .

[@Tom_McMurtry]

Early ABBA :)) They always were great musicians, even when still honing what to do with their talents. My mama said is a fantastic early one to try also. A great baseline. It will also surprise you.

[@nickchristoforou7850]

I love the funky "My Mama Said"....great bass line and hypnotic synth hook and the guitar bridge is great.

Tyler your reactions are just over the moon. Marrisa you just enjoy the moment.

[@leifpettsson]

Now try Kisses Of Fire, Dance while The Music Still Goes On, Tiger, Honey Honey,

[@Payne2view]

ABBA in their "Fest Folk" style I suppose. This song is definately a fan favourite over the years. It could be argued that the 'flute' keyboard hook is the inspiration for the piano melody of "Clocks" by Coldplay. The syncopation or "1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2" rhythm is similar at the very least.

[@lisehw4710]

FINALLY, Tyler..🎉😅 this song is just amazing.. thank You 😊

[@terrykemp1876]

There is a German language version of this too, also by ABBA. They did quite a few foreign language versions in their early days. They are not hard to find.

[@GetBackJoe1969]

Yes. Another Surprise. 🥳This is an example of what Bjorn and Benny went into the studio to create. They soon realized they would never have to sing again after hearing what the ladies could do. They were supposed to be back up singers. 🤔😂

[@Zentrix-24]

This might sound weird but Benny played the accordion back in the day and some of the melody on this song sounds alot like one of his accordion tunes I've heard. I wonder if those songs had an influence on this one. Like this one alot...rolls along and soothes the soul...

This is one of my favourite songs from ABBA's early years. And this was from 1973, still a year before Eurovision and Waterloo. Shame that songs in that era tended to be just 3 mins long - would have loved a 3rd verse on this one.

Arrival .. 4th studio album.....xx.

[@otisblack3921]

You should listen to Agnetha’s self written song off the same Ring Ring album, Disillusion , and compare it to her solo version of the same song written by her in Swedish, “Mina Ogen”. The English version is rather spare, sweet and tender while her Swedish version is more produced with strings and a much more powerful vocal. At times she really belts it out and the power in her voice is surprising because we rarely ever hear that in the Abba songs. At the heart of it all is a very well written song and an extremely good vocal. Here is a link to the Swedish version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZKviqaFpbp9p7c

Such a great video, there are so many hidden gems on ABBA's early albums. Suggest "Disillusion" or "I Am Just A Girl" as the next one, from this same album, Ring Ring, their first album together as The Fab Four in 1973. An example of ABBA might have done during that 40 years break, here is a fantastic song with Benny Andersson's Band from 2009: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJzSnI1-ZZWfnNU

The BEST song from the ring ring album

[@DC-vv5ii]

Reminds me of when I was in Trieste, Italy and Gorizia and traveling by train, and hearing the train whistles sounding like the old wartime movies do. Then in Britain in 1982 and posters of ABBA wers all over the train stations and they were holding brooms for the Keep Britain Tidy campaigne.
