{"product_id":"abba-ring-ring-picture-disc","title":"ABBA - Ring Ring [Picture Disc]","description":"\u003cp\u003eRing Ring is where the ABBA story begins, and this limited edition picture disc puts the 1973 debut's cover art right on the vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore Waterloo, before the satin and the stadiums, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad were four Swedish musicians figuring out what they sounded like together. The album was credited to all four names rather than a band, and you can hear them testing ideas, swapping lead vocals and discovering that unbeatable blend of harmonies that would soon conquer the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRing Ring is the obvious highlight, a giddy, Spector-style pop rush that came close to representing Sweden at Eurovision and announced their ambitions loud and clear. People Need Love has a sunny, singalong warmth, while Nina, Pretty Ballerina shows off their knack for wistful storytelling. Disillusion, co-written by Agnetha, offers a gentler, more personal moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a homespun charm to the production, with folk, rock and schlager influences all jostling for space, but the melodic instincts are already razor-sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor ABBA collectors, this is an essential piece of the puzzle, the first sketch of a sound that would soon fill dance floors everywhere. The picture disc makes it a lovely object to display between spins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57453142868273,"sku":"602508379864","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/ABBA-Ring_Ring_Picture_Disc.jpg?v=1794228502","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/abba-ring-ring-picture-disc","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
