In a celebration of their monumental journey in the world of music, ABBA has announced the much-awaited details of the 50th-anniversary reissue of their iconic album ‘Waterloo‘. This reissue stands as a tribute to the band’s legendary breakthrough 50 years ago in the Eurovision Song Contest, an event that forever altered the landscape of pop music.
Picture this: The year is 1974, and the stage is set at The Dome in Brighton on April 6th. Four figures adorned in dazzling glam-rock attire step into the limelight, captivating audiences worldwide. Those figures were none other than Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid “Frida” Lyngstad – the powerhouse quartet that is ABBA.
Scheduled for release on April 5th through Polar Music International, the ‘Waterloo’ anniversary reissue will be presented as a half-speed mastered 45RPM 2LP Vinyl. Additionally, a limited edition box set featuring the three vinyl singles originally launched in 1974 will be made available, each also offered separately as picture disks.
