ABBA-1981-
The Visitors
"Standing calmly at the crossroads,
no desire to run, there's no hurry anymore, when all is said and
done."
The Visitors deluxe edition came out on Monday, April 23 in many territories It is Available on April 27 in Australia and New Zealand. May 1 in Canada. ABBA-The Visitors (Deluxe Edition), Universal Music CD/DVD International release April 23, 2012
For once, ABBA's record label, Universal, actually has managed to
surprised us. Universal Music's press release about a "new" ABBA song
has drawn a considerable attention on world news Websites, much more
attention than other recent reissues have gotten, probably more
attention than it should have gotten.
The deluxe edition of The Visitors was be released in April of 2012 and it will include "From
A Twinkling Star To A Passing Angel (demos)" a recording which has
never been released before. The press release originally did not state
exactly what these unreleased demos consist of -but a week later Benny
Andersson confirmed that it was merely work tapes for the released
track, "Like An Angel Passing Through My Room". When, the song was
originally recorded it was more complex, and early mixes were made of
the more complicated versions of the song. . There have already
been a few " work in progress tapes" already heard unofficially from The Visitors
sessions, due to a theft of tape copies from Bjorn's car. These
bootleg tracks have included instrumental versions of songs, and
early takes of songs such as "When All is Said and Done, and "Two for
the Price of One's these bootlegs are what is included here.
It was Benny Andersson's idea in October and November of 2011 to
edit a eight-minute medley of the various working tapes of "Like An
Angel Passing Through My Room". Included from various work tapes is
the original demo, with actually rather good vocals by Björn, a
unpleasant disco version, an alternate lyric version called ‘Another
Morning Without You’ and a run-through with Benny on electric piano and
Frida on lead vocals. There is nothing on the mix to suggest that they
picked the wrong version of the song, but there is lots of interesting
variations on the song, include clearly a bad idea or two. A few places
in there some cool backing vocal bits, but in general the song seems
to sound better without Agnetha on it.
Bjorn and Benny have usually been hesitant to release their unreleased
stuff-so the release of "From a Twinkling Star..." is bizarrely
inconsistent from that policy. Why not do the same thing for the other
ABBA deluxe releases, for example release the work tapes for
"Chiquitita" which had been contemplated back when when the box set was
issued in 1994. Why not release "Just Like That" the excellent 1982
track that has yet to see full release. JLT is the holy grail of
unreleased ABBA tracks. (The various reissues of the Visitors album have always contained some selection of the tracks recorded in 1982 after The Visitor album
was released.) Bjorn was once asked by a fan on the group's official
website if they would ever release a Beatles Anthology style
collection of rare tracks and outtakes, his reaction was total disdain
for the very idea. Benny recently said that he hoped this was the last
of the unreleased recordings.
The CD/DVD also includes the usual assortment of bonus tracks and TV
performances. The other five 1982 recordings are included as well as
"Should I Laugh Or Cry" and the nine original songs from The Visitors
album. The DVD is notable for not including more from the Dick Cavett
Special, which included originally a interview and nine songs. The DVD
includes two songs from Dick Cavett Meets ABBA, where ABBA previewed
two tracks from their forthcoming album: ‘Two For The Price Of One’
and ‘Slipping Through My Fingers.’.The video included for ‘When All
Is Said And Done’, features an edit that differs slightly from the
version heard on the album – this video is included here with its rare
original soundtrack in stereo.
Also featured are two lengthy television appearances,for the promotions for The Singles – The First Ten Years. album.
What's good about this set? Well it is a wonderful album for fans of
ABBA's more serious work, and the set includes five of the six songs that ABBA recorded in 1982 songsl. A lot of albums don't get this nice deluxe treatment, so I am
happy about that too!

ABBA-THE
VISITORS 1981 Available on CD worldwide
THE VISITORS is ABBA's most somber album.Look
at the cover, for the first timethere are four separate people,
No one is smiling on the cover ,Frida, Björn and Benny sit
there gazing off in slightly different directions.Frida looks
like Ingrid Bergman, Agnetha is wearing what looks like a green dress,-a darker
echo of her dress on ABBA's 1975 album.
Oh, and by the way, Björn has a grown a beard...
This album ,though successful, was the
start of ABBA's quick commercial decline that marred the end of
their career.
This was their first studio album since the WATERLOO album that
did not have at least two major worldwide Top ten hits.This album
was rushed into to release in November 1981 so that sales would
benefit from the Christmas market, The amount of time between
the release of The Visitors and Super Trouper was
a only about a year , the shortest gap between ABBA studio albums
since 1975. Critics of this album say it was rushed to the market
too quickly.
Great singles were what might expect
from the ultimate pop group , but B&B no longer wanted to
be limited to thinking in such terms. Bjorn and Benny were not
as enthused as before about writing for ABBA,they wanted to try
other things.
It, was becoming harder for
the group to work together after both of the couples in the group
broke up. Being ABBA was no longer as much fun.
THE VISITORS, despite it's mixed commercial
success (and mixed reviews) was a culmination, a piece of work
that wouldn't perhaps have seemed possible in the days of "Waterloo"
It was work of art to be proud of regardless of it's reception
commercially. Still, with THE VISITORS there was not a conscious
intent to make serious music on ABBA's part, it was simply that
there songwriting had become more mature and their musical direction
less commercial .
Recording an album like THE VISITORS
significantly enhanced
the ABBA oeuvre. Yet, it's easier to appreciate THE VISITORS because
it's
an interesting progression from their earlier sillier, lyrically
simpler but more commercial records.
All the songs on THE VISITORS have clearly
distinguishable lead vocalists. Four songs are sung by Frida,
four by Agnetha, and one by Björn. This is one album where
Frida significantly out points Agnetha .The Frida songs are all
adventurous, sometimes weird tracks, The Agnetha & Björn
tracks except for "Soldiers" are more conventional ,but
all the lyrics are very intelligent. Like SUPER TROUPER this album
is blessed with very strong lyrics and a refreshingly adult approach.
Many of The VISITORS songs were recorded
digitally ,making this album one of the very first pop albums
to include digital recordings.
THE SONGS -Note: Bjorn probably didn't
play guitar on most of the tracks listed below-,but there is no
way of knowing for sure.
Musician credits sourced from original
CD/album liner notes or from THE COMPLETE RECORDING SESSIONS by
Carl Magnus Palm.
1. The Visitors (Andersson-Ulvaeus)
5.49 Lead Vocals-Frida Recorded October 1981
Lead & Backing Vocals-,Frida Lyngstad
,Backing Vocals-Agnetha Faltskog
Guitar & Backing Vocals-Bjorn Ulvaeus
Backing Vocals, Keyboards-Benny Andersson
Lead Guitar-Lasse Wellander
Bass Guitar-Rutger Gunnarsson
Drums-Per Lindvall
The title track seems to about a person
who is anxious about being visited by the secret police. The lyric
itself doesn't explicitly state this and the "Cracking Up"
chorus tends to obscure the meaning of the song a little,. Indeed
,the verse and the chorus are almost two different songs. Like
many 80's ABBA songs, "The Visitors"has some sublime
synthesizer work by Benny. The downside to Benny's synth dominating
ABBA's 1980's records is that these later records are less dense,
less collaborative, Björn often does not even play an instrument
on most of ABBA's 1980's recordings.
2. Head Over Heels
Andersson-Ulvaeus 3.45 Lead Vocals-
Agnetha Recorded September 1981
Lead & Backing Vocals-Agnetha Faltskog
Backing Vocals-Frida Lyngstad
Guitar & Backing Vocals-Bjorn Ulvaeus
Keyboards-Benny Andersson
Lead Guitar-Lasse Wellander
Bass Guitar-Rutger Gunnarsson
Drums-Ola Brunkert
"Head Over Heels" was also
released as a single in a few places but shouldn't have been .
It broke ABBA's streak of 19 top ten singles in the UK. The song
tries to be fun but comes off as spiteful. Still typical of ABBA
records of the 80's it is both musically and lyrically a solid
record. There is an entertaining video for "Head Over Heels"
which has Frida portraying the headstrong woman described in the
song.
3. When All Is Said
And Done Andersson-Ulvaeus 3.20 Lead
Vocals- Frida Recorded March 1981
Lead & Backing Vocals-Frida Lyngstad-Agnetha
Faltskog,
Guitar & Backing Vocals-Bjorn Ulvaeus
Keyboards-Benny Andersson
Lead Guitar-Lasse Wellander
Bass Guitar-Rutger Gunnarsson
Drums-Ola Brunkert, Percussion-Ake Sundqyist
In a few places "When All is
Said and Done" was released as a single. It was ABBA's very
last Top 40 hit in the USA. It has quite a vigorous backing track
,the song is lightened up a little by the ethereal background vocals
The song has an extremely evocative lyric. Though, somehow the
line about still being young enough for sex comes off a little
awkwardly. After all, even octogenarians have sex. T he song is
supposedly obliquely about Benny and Frida's divorce...
4. Soldiers Andersson-Ulvaeus
4.38 Lead Vocals-Agnetha Recorded October 1981
Lead & Backing Vocals-Agnetha Faltskog,Frida
Lyngstad
Guitar & Backing Vocals-Bjorn Ulvaeus
Keyboards-Benny Andersson
Lead Guitar-Lasse Wellander
Bass Guitar-Rutger Gunnarsson
Drums-Per Lindvall,
"Soldiers" is a topical political
song of uncertain political leaning which is made even more interesting
by new Drummer 's Per Lindvall's inventive off-beat drum part,
and Lasse Wellander's interesting electric guitar work..
5. I Let The Music
Speak Andersson-Ulvaeus 5.20 Lead Vocals-Frida
Recorded September 1981
Lead Vocals-Frida Lyngstad
Vocals--Agnetha Faltskog
Guitar, Backing Vocals-Bjorn Ulvaeus
BackingVocals, Keyboards-Benny Andersson
Lead Guitar-Lasse Wallander
Bass Guitar-Rutger Gunnarsson
Drums-Ola Brunkert
Perscussion-Ake Sundqyist
Flute & Clarinet-Jan Kling
This song opened the original albums
second side. "I Let The Music Speak" is a little known
ABBA song but certainly seems to presage
Björn and Benny's post ABBA work. Once again, the lyric is
just as good as
the exquisite musical backing.
6. One Of Us Andersson-Ulvaeus
3.55 Lead Vocals-Agnetha Recorded October 1981
Lead & Backing Vocals-Agnetha Faltskog,Frida
Lyngstad
Guitar, Mandolin & Backing Vocals-Bjorn Ulvaeus
Keyboards-Benny Andersson
Lead Guitar, Mandolin Lasse Wellander
Bass Guitar,Mandolin -Rutger Gunnarsson
Drums-Ola Brunkert
"One of Us" was this albums'
biggest hit single . Still, it doesn't get played much on the radio any more, and it only made to #3 in the UK. The Visitors was the first ABBA album not
to generate at least a # 2 hit in Great Britain (Aside from the
RING RING album which had not been released in Britain.) Bjorn
claims that it was number one in the last week of 1981, a week
that no chart was issued.
Director's Lasse Hallstrom filmed
a clip of "One of Us" which was his last video done
for ABBA.
I don't care much for this song but
there some who like it. The mandolin introduction performed by
The Three Boys (Björn,Lasse and Rutger) is so good that it
almost outshines the rest of song-which is nevertheless a solid
if boring song. I don't care much for this song but there some
who like it. YES , I repeat again- I don't care much for this song
but there some who like it . Bjorn likes this song, Boris Putin
likes this song, the Dalai Lama like this song, Paris Hilton likes
this song....Bjorn's
dog likes this song....
7. Two For The Price
Of One Andersson-Ulvaeus 3.36 Lead Vocals-Bjorn
Recorded March 1981
Lead & Backing Vocals, Guitar -Bjorn
Ulvaeus
Backing Vocals-Agnetha Faltskog,Frida Lyngstad
Keyboards-Benny Andersson
Lead Guitar-Lasse Wellander
Bass Guitar-Rutger Gunnarsson
Drums-Ola Brunkert,
Percussion-Ake Sundqyist
This was Bjorn's only
lead vocal released during the 1980's, though the box set soon
revealed a few more 1980's Bjorn lead vocals that had gone unreleased.
It's a fun song -with as usual a good helping of Agnetha/Frida
backing vocals to make the song palatable to the ears... The marching
band sound at the end foreshadows similar moments on the Chess
album. Lindsey Lohan likes this song....no, but she would if she
heard it....
8. Slipping Through
My Fingers Andersson-Ulvaeus 3.51 Lead Vocals-Agnetha Recorded
March 1981
Lead & Backing Vocals-Agnetha Faltskog
Backing Vocals-Frida Lyngstad
Guitar & Backing Vocals-Bjorn Ulvaeus
Keyboards-Benny Andersson
Lead Guitar-Lasse Wellander
Bass Guitar-Rutger Gunnarsson
Drums-Ola Brunkert Perscussion-Ake Sundqvist
"Slipping Through My Fingers"
is interesting because it is clearly written
about Björn's and Agnetha's personal experience with not
being able to spend
as much time with their children as they would like, it was a
lyric that many people
could relate to. Martha Stewart likes this song.....no not really
9. Like An Angel Passing
Through My Room Andersson-Ulvaeus 3.25 Lead Vocals-Frida
Lead Vocals Frida Lyngstad
Keyboards-Benny Andersson
The album closes with "Like An
Angel Passing Through My Room'. This song inspired album designer
, Rune Soderqvist to use a angel on the album cover (perhaps his
best ABBA album cover).The song just has Benny playing and Frida
singing on it and yet is so evocative. Frida's high notes towards
the end really bespeak wistfully of a ending of something ,in
way it was surprising that ABBA went on one more year but they
did. This track was recently covered by Anne Sofie Van Otter with
Benny playing piano on her version. Theodore Roosevelt likes this
song....no he's dead...
Extra tracks:
10. Should I Laugh
Or Cry Andersson-Ulvaeus Lead Vocals-Frida
Recorded 1981
Lead & Backing Vocals-Frida Lyngstad-Agnetha
Faltskog,
Guitar & Backing Vocals-Bjorn Ulvaeus
Keyboards-Benny Andersson
Lead Guitar-Lasse Wellander
Bass Guitar-Rutger Gunnarsson
Drums-Ola Brunkert
The B-side "Should I Laugh Or
Cry " was recorded during THE VISITORS sessions but left
off the originl album 'cos B&B thought that it's chorus and
verse
were too different ,which may have been the case, but it's still
a great record, it's perhaps the best of ABBA's non-album b-sides,
The song is dominated by some simply overwhelming synthesizer
work by Benny, coupled with a powerful Frida vocal. "Should
I laugh" was a bonus track
on the remastered VISITORS CD .
The recent remastered
versions of THE VISITORS include 3 bonus tracks drawn from the
six songs recorded in 1982 by ABBA .(See 1982-The Singles-The
First Ten Years and other 1982 sessions).
11. The Day Before
You Came (Andersson-Ulvaeus)
first appeared on THE SINGLES Recorded August 1982
Lead & Backing Vocals-,Agnetha
Faltskog ,Backing Vocals-Frida Lyngstad
Backing Vocals-Bjorn Ulvaeus
Synthesizers & drum machine -Benny Andersson
Snare Drum -Ake Sundqvist
This was the last studio track
ABBA ever made. IT came 10 years and five months after ABBA's
first recording -People Need Love". It was lead-off single for THE SINGLES collection.
TDBYC was a five minute laundry list of a person's day that is
either boring or profound depending on your prospective.The song
features Benny on the synthesizer and Aggie on vocals. Listen
closely to the breathtaking "Ahhhhs" at the end of the
song The video produced for the TDBYC features Agnetha and has
the most story of any ABBA video clip. This song was covered by
the British act-Blancmange. ". Bjorn and Benny deserve some
respect for taking chances with this their the last recording
they made for ABBA...Andersson-Ulvaeus
Actually recorded in 1982
well after the release of THE VISITORS
12. Cassandra (Andersson-Ulvaeus)--Frida- first appeared
as B side Recorded August 1982
Lead & Backing Vocals-,Frida Lyngstad
,Backing Vocals-Agnetha Faltskog
Guitar & Backing Vocals-Bjorn Ulvaeus
Keyboards-Benny Andersson
Lead Guitar-Janne Scaffer
Bass Guitar-Rutger Gunnarsson
"Drums-Per Lindvall
Originally just a b-side. "Cassandra"
features a intriguing lyric and a rich production. "Cassandra's
"packing your bags" section is one of the best 5 seconds
in the ABBA oeuvre, even if the swelled voices effect was originally
used by the others ) Some of the arrangement of the song is
borrowed from the then unreleased 1980 ABBA recording-"Put
On Your White Sombrero". To be honest, the song hasn't aged
well for me...I loved this song at first-"the oh this
is a cool b-side effect" But it's not a great song-just
a good one.. "Cassandra first showed up on some of the ABBA
"love song" LP collections of 1983,but didnt really
make it onto a wide release on CD till MORE ABBA Gold was released.
It can now be found on THE VISITORS remaster and on the box set.Andersson-Ulvaeus
Also recorded in 1982 and originally
released only as a B-side
13. Under Attack Under Attack (Andersson-Ulvaeus)- first
appeared on THE SINGLES Recorded August 1982
Lead & Backing Vocals-Agnetha Faltskog
Lead & Backing Vocals-,Frida Lyngstad
Guitar & Backing Vocals-Bjorn Ulvaeus
Keyboards-Benny Andersson
Lead Guitar-Janne Schaffer
Bass Guitar-Rutger Gunnarsson
Drums-Per Lindvall
ABBA's last original single and
the second A-side, pulled from "THE SINGLES' "Under
Attack" ,was actually a fairly good pop song -but the world
was cooling on ABBA . The video for "Under Attack" is
ominous, at the end the four members walk away grimly with their
backs to the camera. Ominous, since this was the last ABBA video.
"Under Attack" was ABBA's last original single. It is
a surprisingly peppy number for a swan song. But it was one ABBA's
least successful singles.
"Under Attack"can now
be found on THE VISITORS remaster and on the box set.
Interestingly,ABBA brought back
Lead Guitarist Janne Schaffer for this session,he had been there
in 1972 when it all started...He had not been available for THE
VISITORS sessions but appeared on every other ABBA album on at
least some of the songs...
OTHER SONGS RECORDED
A few more songs were attempted' -"Giving
A Little Bit More" showed up in a edited version on the Box
set- The Song "I am a Seeker" was started but not recorded
by ABBA but instead given to the makers of the ABRACADABRA musical...
Four other non-album rarities were recorded
from around Early 1981 between the end of Super Trouper sessions
and the beginning of THE VISITORS. Two of the songs were limited
release tribute tracks that were recorded for Abba manager Stig
Anderson's birthday. The Stig tribute featured a new song in Swedish
by B&B called Hovas Vittne (Hova's Son) and the other was
a instrumental version of a song written by Stig (in the 1950's
) called "Tividshambo". ABBA would later perform a live
vocal version of "Tividshambo" in 1986 for a Swedish
TV tribute to Stig. ( ABBA's -professional appearence together
) Also recorded were two instrumentals-"Nationalsang' an
unfinished track-
which was the original version of the 1984 song "Anthem"
from CHESS. Secondly, a short FANFARE" was recorded for a
1981 World Ice Hockey Championships. The Fanfare was released
as part of Polar Music Annual Report package, "Nationalsang"
has never seen release. "Fanfare" is yet another an
example of perfectly good song-that B&B have chosen not to
release properly.
In Addtion , Two Spanish recordings were
made of Visitors tracks -Se Me Esta Escapando( Slipping through
My Fingers) No Hay a Quien Culpar (When All is Said and done)1981,
1981.These were the last two of ABBA Spanish language recordings
| OTHER VIEWS : EXCERPTS FROM PUBLISHED
REVIEWS OF "THE VISITORS" |
| "Each successive
ABBA album has been a little more gloomy than the last...recent
singles have been ballads of remorse and regret". There
is no levity at all on "THE VISITORS except for the dark
humor of "Two for the Price of One".....Whatever the
source of their woe, ABBA Have again produced a album that for
sophisticated pop entertainment far surpasses what most most American
and British groups can manage these days" Joel Vance
in Stereo Review |
ABBA-THE VISITORS 2001 CD and limited
edition Digipak
This edition Features new liner notes
by Carl Magnus Palm and four bonus tracks .Lars Larsson's photo
on the cover is slightly different than the original cover. Apparently,
Universal had trouble finding the exact original negative. This
is the longest and most generous of the ABBA studio remasters
-the four bonus tracks adding nearly 20 minutes of music to the
Disc. Artistically, speaking the 1982 bonus tracks are a little
out of place-since they were recorded after THE VISITORS was released.
But musically they are quite good...
On this version. "Cassandra"
replaces ""You Owe Me One' as a bonus track. "Cassandra
" had been inexplicably left off the 1997 remastering of
this album . It's not particularly clear, why we can't have both
tracks. Hey and throw in" I am the City" and "Just
Like That "as well. Hell why not just make a separate CD
for the six 1982 tracks.
The photo on the cover is slightly different
than the original cover.
