Agnetha on January 7, 2007, leaving a party after the last performance of "Mamma Mia!" in Stockholm. |

Back in the late 70s I became a fan of the pop group ABBA. But it wasn't until 1983 that I became a fan of Agnetha Fältskog as a solo artist. I was a teenager and began collecting pictures and articles from magazines and newspapers. Throughout the years I've managed to collect more than two scrapbooks worth of material.
The main reason why I wanted to create this website was to share the material I have with other fans. I have a lot of photos from magazines and newspapers. But I also wanted fans around the world to get to know a little bit more about Agnetha as a person. During her days in ABBA, fans outside Sweden didn't hear her talk very much. It was mainly Björn and Benny who did the talking. So that's why I've translated Swedish interviews with Agnetha and I will continue uploading them as long as I have more to translate.
In the past few months, through my friend Jeffrey de Hart, I've received some older articles supplied by other fans, so now you'll be able to read more about Agnetha's early career. I am very grateful and proud to be able to share those articles/interviews as well!
Finally, I hope you'll enjoy my website!

PS. Swedish newspaper/tabloid Expressen published the above picture of Agnetha with an acquaintance, Bertil Nordström (the King of Sweden's closest friend), taken at Club Plaza in Stockholm, Sweden in the evening of December 8, 2005. Agnetha went there with three girlfriends. Now I'd like to ask all those tabloids who keep writing that Agnetha is isolated and never goes out:
Does the woman above seem miserable and look like a recluse?
No, I didn't think so!
*** UPDATE ***
January 8, 2007
2006 was not my year. My partner was diagnosed with cancer (he recovered) and then he broke up with me. I'm currently going through a lot of changes in my life so this website is not a priority, but I haven't forgotten about it and will update it as soon as things settle down.

The Polar solo albums remastered
Agnetha's albums that she released on the Polar label in the 1980s have now been remastered and released on CD in Sweden. You can order them at the same links where you can get the CD box set and "My Colouring Book".
Agnetha 6 CD box set!
A CD box set containing Agnetha's 5 Swedish solo albums plus a bonus disc with B-sides and rare songs was released in December 2004. I contributed to this project and I'm very proud of being a part of it! It's only been released in Sweden so if you want to buy it, you can order it from one of the following websites: www.skivhugget.com or www.abbf.nl.
Agnetha's singles "When You Walk In The Room" & "If I Thought You'd Ever Change Your Mind" and her album "My Colouring Book" (2004) are on sale throughout parts of the world. If you live in a country where they weren't released (like the US), you can order them at the Swedish online CD-store www.skivhugget.com or at www.amazon.com.
