The two men were more than happy writing a succession of hit songs and producing the famous ABBA sound in the studio. Fortunately, nothing was ever left to chance with ABBA. The tour had been planned for a year. They rehearsed endlessly. It was a winning combination. Great, catchy songs and two girls who could deliver. It hardly mattered that Bjorn and Benny were sick with nerves. In contrast to many rock bands and messily organised tours in the 1970s, ABBA’s tactics were like something from a battlefield.
