The group comprising Agnetha Fältskog, Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, were one of the most commercially successful acts in the history of pop music, with world-wide smash hits from 1974 to 1982.
‘From a Twinkling Star to a Passing Angel’, a demo recorded around the time ‘The Visitors’ was released in 1981, will be the first new ABBA recording released since the box set ‘Thank You for the Music’ was issued in 1994.
The group, who made their last known public performance on the BBC’s ‘Late, Late Breakfast Show’ in December 1982, are now set to thrill its fans with the new version of ‘The Visitors’ which will also include six previously released bonus tracks and a DVD featuring rare and unreleased footage from their archives.
ABBA disbanded in 1982 and has since defied any speculation of a comeback, insisting in interviews that there was nothing that could entice them back on stage again. ‘We will never appear on stage again. There is simply no motivation to re-group. Money is not a factor and we would like people to remember us as we were; young, exuberant, full of energy and ambition’, Ulvaeus stated in 2008.
They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.
