ABBA created a brand of deliciously catchy pop music that made the Swedish group an international sensation, but they were a far cry from today’s manufactured stars. Their musical development, spectacular visuals, and global reach changed pop music forever. ABBA Treasures offers an insightful narrative that explores each album in detail, the relationships between the band members, and how ABBA s story continued as a result of the success of Mamma Mia!. New interviews with Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson of ABBA, as well as fellow musicians and ABBA collaborators, add depth to the analysis of ABBA s impact on music and global pop culture.

Giving fans a uniquely hands-on experience, ABBA Treasures showcases 20 pieces of removable memorabilia, including reproductions of collectible stickers and trading cards, a backstage pass, tickets, the souvenir program from their 1979 world tour, and much more. With more than 150 colourful photos spanning the legendary group’s career, every page is a celebration of the kings and queens of the dance floor.

El estilo pegadizo y la estética rompedora de ABBA le permitieron cruzar las fronteras de su Suecia natal, saltar a la fama en todo el mundo y convertirse en un referente de la música y la cultura pop. Los tesoros de ABBA relata la trayectoria musical de este grupo, analizando exhaustivamente cada álbum, las relaciones entre los miembros del cuarteto y la repercusión del éxito de Mamma mia! en sus vidas y sus carreras. Una obra muy personal que incluye también entrevistas inéditas a Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson y a otros músicos y colaboradores del grupo, así como veinte documentos extraíbles, entre los que destacan reproducciones de pegatinas y cromos coleccionables, un pase de backstage, entradas, el programa de la gira mundial de 1979 y muchos otros «tesoros». Ilustrado con más de 150 fotografías a color, este libro constituye un homenaje único a los reyes del pop.
