Early on in my love 4 the Cs it suddenly dawned on me that from 1975/6 nearly everything the Cs did Abba either simarly either copied or did one better or so it seemed in my own private Cs world & at one point I thought I was over reacting but a magazine article called "Carpenters...A little decadance desirible" then strengthened my belief in1977. Heres a brief little list ( childish I know but...:
Horizon went into the guiness book of records for the album with most advance orders in 75 here in the UK
Abbas LP Arrival topped it
Arrivals track layout even down to the gaps at the end of side 1 & 2 were exactly the same as Horizon.
Cs Please Mr Postman/ Abba Money Money Money
Cs Only Yesterday Abba /Knowing Me Knowing You
Everytime The Cs released a record...So did Abba
If The Cs released a bouncey song so did Abba
" " """""""""""""""" a ballard so did Abba
See Above.
Then the article in the magazine saying that "had the Cs met their Waterloo in Abba...
which Im pleased to say the writer finished off saying that they hadnt nowt to worry about as the Cs sold just as well in Sweden as Abba did in the U S A which I thought was wrong as Abba didnt seem do all that well in the U S A after about a year.
And NOW..Guess what??? Which group has now just found a "lost song" in the archives that has never b4 been heard of & will be released sometime later this year or so the tale goes..... I rest my case.
Dont get me wrong.. I love Abba but would never buy their records untill they started going down the charts so (in my mind ) I couldnt b accussed of helping em up the charts.
Mega Appologies to ABBAFAN USA on here but its just thoughts of mine from all these years & I think I have been proved right especially with the sudden appearance of a "lost" song as there were a few other coincidences that I noted in my time that were to long to go into on here. Ok Ok Ok Im goin back into my box room. ( Ps I have all Abba Records ABBAFAN USA so dont lamblast me). Ken Carps1000
