Bright Lights, Dark Shadows: the Real Story of Abba Carl Magnus Palm Unabridged edition

Revealed for the first time ? the people who were Abba, their individual backgrounds, their musical influences and their personal demons. By the time Abba split up, no one was in any doubt that behind the glitter there was a dark side, and behind the smiling group were four troubled individuals. But even as a whole new generation of fans discovers Abba?s great music, Anni-Frid, Agnetha, Benny and Bjorn have continued to remain rather shadowy, secretive figures. Their marriages, personal break-ups and superficial biographical details are well known... but who exactly were Abba? The author answers these and many more questions about the hit group that no one took seriously... until everyone did. Bright Lights, Dark Shadows is an instant classic- a truly great account of the rise and fall of a legendary group and a multiple biography of rare insight. ?Achieves the difficult feat of capturing the multiple layers of Abba... with a deftness unusual in a rock biography.? ?
