In October, 2020 we celebrate Super Trouper, an album which soundtrack was marked by a Christmas season, and not just 40 years ago. Super Trouper, the first of two albums released by ABBA in the 80th was their sixth number in a row No. 1 in Sweden, the leader of the European charts and an album 20 of the best in the USA. On the basis of classical singles, including the header track "The Winner Takes It All" and "Lay All Your Love On Me", Super Trouper became the most sold album in Great Britain in 1980.
Album Super Trouper which received the name from the great attention used on the stage seems the bright, bright statement, but in 2020 we understand now at how many levels ABBA worked. Of course, there is a fine shining pop music which forever was remembered in the popular musical and the movie Mamma Mia! and dance floors by which ABBA constantly inspires. But there is also a hidden grief - practically each fan, old and new, knows that the history ABBA is connected with two unions crossed by stars and disintegration: Byyorn Ulveus and Agneta Feltskog and also Anny-Fried (Frida) Lingstad ​​ and Benny. Andersson. At last, musicality, producer work and arrangement thanks to which Super Trouper sound it is also fresh and iskryashche four decades later as when he was for the first time heard in 1980.
Super Troupe is also well-known the cover on which Agneta, Fried, Benny and Byyorn in an environment of carnival actors: the initial idea was in removing it on the London Piccadilly Circus. It is no wonder that this idea was rejected, and the cover was photographed in Stockholm. The circus was always a powerful metaphor in art - throughout all history joy of representation hides internal grief. Global number 1 ABBA "The winner accepts all" cannot make it clearer. The first single from an album, it was released in August, 1980, with the text written by Byyorn for his recently divorced wife Agneta to sing: "In this song there is a lot of everything", - Agneta told. "Eto was mix of what I felt also what was felt by Byyorn and also what passed Benny and Fried through". On became No. 1 in Great Britain, became their first leader in charts more than in two years, and in November the cheerful header track followed. The volume 12-inch album "Lay All Your Love On Me" which left in July of the next year helped sokhranitsuper Trouper is in the British charts for 43 weeks.
Album tracks Super Trouper which are written down by ABBA are almost also known, as well as its singles. Among them stamping "On And On And On", classical "Andante Andante" and super-shrill "Happy New Year" with its lines "all dreams which we saw earlier all are dead, no more than confetti on a floor." Super Trouper comes to the end with the The Way Old Friends Do song recorded live at their record concerts to Wembley the previous year that emphasizes that, despite everything, communication between ABBA will remain forever strong.
Super Trouper is presented in the form of the extensive master version with the half speed executed on Abbey Road by Miles Shouyell and, according to the last releases, there are a 7-inch collection box and a set of ultra-collection disks with pictures. Its beam still blinds us all this years later.
