2012...
There are quite a few anniversaries in 2012 and probably the most important ones are:
It's forty years since the first ABBA single "People Need Love" was released in Sweden!
&
It's forty-five years since the first singles of Frida and Agnetha were released!
Also some albums have their anniversary in 2012: Gold, Greatest Hits, I Stand Alone, Klinga Mina Klockor, The Singles - The First Ten Years and Something's Going On.
Hopefully this will result in some nice (re)releases. On 23rd January, Universal informed us that a Deluxe Edition of "The Visitors" will be released on 23rd April 2012.
I hope you're enjoying the site and if you have additional information please let me know through the "feedback & submissions" page.
