However,the acronym ABBA wasn't used officially till after the release of this lp. The RING RING lp was originally released only in Sweden and a few other territories. The most notable Non-Swedish release was in Australia where a different cover was used. The RING RING album only became widely available in most territories when Polygram began releasing it on Cd in the 1990's.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, five of the songs from RING RING had been long available worldwide due to their release on ABBA's first GREATEST HITS album or other compilations. Those songs are \" Ring Ring\",\" People Need Love\",\"He Is Your Brother',\" Nina Pretty Ballerina\" and \"Another Town, Another Train\" These are still reasonably enjoyable. The remaining tracks are relatively weak, other than the Agnetha \u0026amp; Bjorn composition \"Disillusion\".. \"Rock N Roll Band\" is only a mildly effective song, it, like so many of the early ABBA songs features Björn on lead vocals. \"Love Isn't Easy... \" and \"Me and Bobby and Bobby's Brother\" have pleasent bubble gum melodies but sound contrived.\"I Saw It in The Mirror\" and \"I am Just a Girl\" are two of the worst ABBA recordings ever made.\u003cbr\u003eThe original vinyl album had twelve tracks. The original Swedish LP had both the Swedish \u0026amp; English versions of\" Ring Ring\". The first Cd issue of RING RING substituted the Björn and Benny song \"She's My kind of Girl \"instead of the Swedish version of \"Ring Ring\". \"She's My Kind of Girl\" is not a bad B\u0026amp;B song, but it was recorded in 1969 , and is not an ABBA record.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike other ABBA albums, recording began on RING RING without a preconceived idea that a album was being recorded. It wasn't till midway through the recording that it became clear that the singles and other tracks recorded were to be assembled for the debut album of Björn, Benny, Agnetha \u0026amp; Frida.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally the aim was  perhaps to release a Bjorn and Benny album but the act became Björn,BENNY,AGNETHA \u0026amp; FRIDA with the \"People Need Love\" single. People Need Love\" was actually the first single released with all four names ( Björn, Benny, Agnetha \u0026amp; Frida ).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abba\" title=\"Click to see complete listing of Abba\"\u003eAbba\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for complete listing)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/search-results-page?q=Abba+Ring+Ring\" title=\"Click to see more products with the title Ring Ring\"\u003e Ring Ring\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for more of the same title)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear of Release\u003c\/strong\u003e - 1973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Year of Release\u003c\/strong\u003e - 1973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e - vinyl LP album (LP record)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecord Label\u003c\/strong\u003e - Polar Music Production\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue No\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/search-results-page?q=POLS242\" title=\"Click to see more products with the catalogue number POLS242\"\u003ePOLS242\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for more)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/swedish-imports\" title=\"Click to see more items from Sweden\"\u003eSweden\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage\u003c\/strong\u003e - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional info\u003c\/strong\u003e - Deleted, Picture Sleeve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlobal Trade Item Number (GTIN)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 5053199661250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e - This item is in Excellent condition or better (unless it says otherwise in the above description).
