Description

Album by Björn Benny & Agnetha Frida.

People Need Love is ABBA's first hit song, recorded not as ABBA but under their real names: Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid. The song was also included on the group's first album, Ring Ring, released in 1973.

It was released in Scandinavia and a limited number of other territories, including Germany, Australia, South Africa and Mexico, on 26 March 1973 through Polar Music. The album was a chart-topping album in Belgium, and a big success in the Netherlands, Norway and South Africa.

The printed inner sleeve displays other Polar releases that came out before this one, with catalog number up until POLS 239. Inspelad i Metronome studio och även i KMH och Europafilm studio. Rights Society: NCB. Matrix, Runout (Side A): POLS 242 A.

A song like ‘He Is Your Brother’, which was picked as a single in some markets, offers the sort of singalong chorus that the band would soon make their own.

Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall And I sit all alone impatiently Won't you please understand the need in me So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? You were here and now you're gone, hey did I do something wrong? I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken Was it me or was it you?

Ring Ring is the first studio album to feature the Swedish foursome who would later become pop group ABBA. It was released in Scandinavia and a limited number of other territories, including Germany, Australia, South Africa and Mexico, on March 26, 1973 through Polar Music. The album was re-released in Australasia in 1975, but was not released in the United Kingdom until 1992, and the United States until three years later.
