Lycka
Digitally remastered edition of the first recordings by the duo hired by producer Stig Anderson as in-house songwriters his Polar Records label.  The title track "Lycka" (lyrics by Stig) was released as a single, but it's b-side, the Salvation Army-style "Hej gamle man!" became a hit, topping at No.1 for 5 weeks on the Swedish Top 10!  The song's success was partly due to the fact that Agnetha & Frida appeared on backing vocals, the first time the quartet recorded together. "It was the birth of ABBA in a way," Frida recalled many years later. "I don't think it would have become such a hit if Agnetha and I hadn't been on it".  All four first sang together in public on a trip to Cyprus in 1970 for the duo, accompanied by their wives, and all were awestruck by their vocal blend. Among the 14 bonus tracks on this edition is "To Live With You", the English translation of "Lycka",  re-recorded by the duo n English in the mid-70s, appearing on this CD for the first time.
