Welcome to ABBA Omnibus · Everything ABBA.

2017 is rushing by so quickly.

The 40th anniversary of ABBA - The Movie and ABBA - The Album comes in December. There is no news yet of any commemorative releases (besides some new merchandise available now at ABBA The Museum).

In the last month, we saw the vinyl re-release of six Polar solo albums on black and coloured vinyl, ranging from Björn and Benny's Lycka to Agnetha's Eyes Of A Woman. See the feature page for more.

Benny's album of piano-only renditions of music written by him is due at tend of September. The album includes ABBA music, plus songs Benny wrote for BAO, and music from the musicals Chess and Kristina från Duvemåla. See the feature page for full details.

And in most surprising news, the Mamma Mia! movie musical is to get a sequel, to be released in cinemas in July 2018. Filming is starting soon, with many members of the original cast returning, featuring ABBA songs not included in the original musical, plus some reprised favourites.

I have come to realise that the pieces I have chosen to play are an integral part of me. In a strange way, I feel like I am playing my memoirs - Benny
