WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE

This song, included on 'The Visitors' album, was inspired by the termination of the marriage of group members Frida (Anni-Frid) and Benny. The former handled lead vocals. "When All Is Said And Done" was Frida's moment to shine in the same way Agnetha had on previous hit song "The Winner Takes It All", which was in turn, inspired by her break-up with former husband Bjorn. He wrote the lyrics for both tracks.

WATCH OUT

"Watch Out" was the flip side of the single release of "Waterloo". It was also featured on the album of the same name as the group's 1974 winning entry in the Eurovision Song Contest. Recording of this fun rock track with glam overtones began in late 1973. "Watch Out" has Bjorn contributing on lead vocals along with Agnetha and Frida.

LIKE AN ANGEL PASSING THROUGH MY ROOM

"Like An Angel Passing Through My Room" closes 'The Visitors' album. It remains the minimalist ABBA recording. A ticking clock provides its only percussion. This is miles away from the bubble gum pop ABBA was known for.

47

MY MAMA SAID

ABBA often flirted with diverse genres while recording its albums. For "My Mama Said", the group adopted a funkier sound. The track is from the 'Waterloo' LP and features both female members on lead vocals. It was recorded in mid-October 1973.

TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE

Infused with some humour, "Two For The Price Of One" finds Bjorn on lead vocals. He is the protagonist answering an ad in the personal columns and considering a threesome with what turns out to be a mother and her daughter. The curiosity was included on 'The Visitors'.
