2009 14-track CD album. The history of the world's greatest pop
band has hardly taken a pause in the past 35 years, from the 380
million albums sold to the record-breaking musical and blockbuster
film which is Mamma Mia! But behind the scenes there's another
musical side to Benny Andersson. For the past 20 years he has been
leading The Benny Andersson Band, a group of 16 exceptional
musicians and singers who share his passion for the Swedish folk
tradition, not to mention Big Band, Bach, polka, waltzes, Celtic
folk, Fifties standards - and straight-ahead pop music. The latter
is showcased on the title track, the first new pop composition
written by Benny with his ABBA song writing partner Bjrn Ulvaeus in
15 years. Vocal duties on this, and three of the four other tracks
translated into English for the first time, are taken by the
Swedish star Helen Sjholm; with additional vocals by Swedish
singer, Tommy Krberg. The 14-track album captures highlights from
the three albums released in Sweden by the Benny Andersson Band
along with some brand new tracks. 'I wanted to make music based on
the Swedish folk tradition, but with new songs written by me,' says
Benny Andersson, who also plays accordion on the record!).

all arranged for piano, voice and guitar. Songs include 'Mamma
Mia', 'Waterloo', 'Thank You For The Music', 'Dancing Queen' and

Chess is a musical that sounds like it shouldn't work but instead
succeeds surprisingly well. This is the original concept album that
was recorded before the musical was staged in London. Chess is the
story of a love triangle told against the backdrop of an
international chess tournament during the height of the cold war.
The composers are Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus (the Bs in
ABBA) and the lyrics are by Tim Rice, who supplied the words for
Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita, as well as
Disney's Aladdin (with Howard Ashman), The Lion King, and Beauty
and the Beast. The six-member cast does a beautiful job with the
songs, which are a combination of ballads, rock, and operatic
choruses. Murray Head's version of "One Night in Bangkok" became a
surprise hit in the mid-'80s and it still turns up on the
turntables in dance clubs around the world. --Michael Simmons
24 bit digital remaster with new liner notes, complete lyrics and
bonus tracks: 'Merry Go Round', 'Santa Rosa' and 'Ring Ring
(Swedish Version)'.
