Mamma Mia! A riveting and sophisticated examination of one of the greatest pop groups we’re ever likely to hear!
Carl Magnus Palm was born in Stockholm in 1965. He studied English
and Cinema History and Theory in the UK before beginning a career
writing music books. Today he is considered an international
authority on the history of Abba.
Palm’s books have been published around the world. He is consultant
for Polar Music International/Universal Music, having planned,
conceived and contributed to numerous Abba-related CDs and DVDs.
Adrian Mulraney is a graduate of the Western Australian Academy of
Performing Arts. Along with being a top voice artist, he has
appeared in over 70 theatre shows in four Australian states and has
appeared in Stingers, Neighbours, MDA and many other TV shows and
feature films.
“Another fine addition to the canon of music biographies… Palm’s
biography is extremely thorough and dipped deeply in a pond of
melancholy.”
*The Times*
“A melancholy insight into the gulf between dreams and
reality.”
*Stuff*
“How did Abba do it? And why, 20 years after they split, are they
still so popular?
Palm’s book achieves the difficult feat of capturing the multiple
layers of Abba… with a deftness unusual in a rock biography.”
*The Sunday Times*
"It ain’t exactly Keith Richards’s LIFE, full of hair-raising
stories of rock-and-roll, but, as its title implies, this book
exposes the humanity behind the otherworldly presence that is the
Swedish band Abba. In the 1970s they were pioneers of dance pop and
world music while maintaining a sleek, detached edge that, at
times, made them seem cold and calculating. The text is delivered
deftly by Adrian Mulraney, whose familiarity with stage performance
in Australian theater makes him a natural for the high drama of
Abba's up-and-down saga. His voice resonates with a condescending
tone that decries the ego game of pop success while revealing the
intimate details of the musicians’ personal lives."
