There was, for instance,\n 'People Need Love', the very first ABBA single, and 'He Is Your \nBrother', a popular number on ABBA's 1977 tour of Europe and Australia.\n Crucially, on the title track the ABBA sound was born, as the group \ndiscovered how attractive the sound of multi-layered vocals was, and how\n exciting a song could be if you made use of all the possibilities of \nthe recording studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe public responded well to 'Ring Ring' – the song and the album. Famously, for two consecutive weeks in April 1973,\n the Swedish 'Ring Ring' single was at number one, the English-language \nversion at number two, and the Ring Ring album at number three on the \ncombined singles-and-albums chart used in Sweden\n at the time. Record-buyers had fallen head over heels in love with this\n brand new group. And ABBA's sense of joy in trying different song \nstyles and thrilling studio trickery can still be felt today, half a \ncentury later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eRing Ring\u003c\/i\u003e album was originally credited to Björn and Benny, \nAgnetha and Frida – the name ABBA didn't quite exist yet. The group \nitself almost didn't exist, as the two ladies were still pursuing solo \ncareers, and the two men were busy with many different projects when the\n album was recorded. But its huge success sealed the deal: from now on \nthey would be ABBA.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polydor","offers":[{"title":"Black LPx2","offer_id":50403927589195,"sku":"2019292","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red 7\"x5","offer_id":50403929981259,"sku":"2019293","price":79.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2LP_Cover_Art_71283d1a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726565120","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/ring-ring-50th-anniversary","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
