We've' erecorded this album at the metronome studio 1976. As usual we've been wor'king together with Michale B. Tretow, Sound engineer as well as an invaluable pusher and a neverending source of ideas.

It's been a privilege to have a lot of our friends playing with us" on the album. Rutger Gunnarsson, for instance, who plays bass on all the tracks and who also wrote the excellent string arrangements for"MY LOVE, MY LIFE' Drummer Ola Brun- kert (some day we're gonna let you hear him sing) plays on eight songs and Roger Palm on one, "DANCING QUEEN:' These guys are even happier than usual when they get together with percussionist Malando Gassama and his sack full of strange and exotic rhythm instruments. Janne Schaffer plays electric guitar on "WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE ME:' "THAT'S ME" and if you listen carefully you can pick up a few notes on "MY LOVE, MY LIFE" too. Anders Glenmark is the electric guitarist on "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY" and Lasse Wellander plays on "KNOWING ME,, KNOWING YOU" and"TIGER" and changes to acoustic on "DUM DUM DIDDLE:' where he's joined by Bjorn who is responsible for all the acoustic and a few of the electric guitars on the album. Synthesizers, marimbas, chimes, accordions, pianos, Benny plays any keyboard instruments he can lay his hands on, especially on "ARRIVAL" where Anders Dahl helped us with the strings. Every now and then you can hear violins on "DANCING QUEEN" and they were arranged by Sven-Olof Walldff.`Finally Lasse Carlsson is playing sax on "WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE ME

All vocals were of course sung by ourselves. Solo parts on "MY LOVE, MY LIFE" and "WHEN I KISSED THE TEACHER" by Agnetha, "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY: KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU" by Frida and solo parts on "WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE ME" by Bjorn.
The layout and the idea for the cover came from Rune Soder nd Ola Lager, who also took the beautiful photos.
We thank you all for helping us complete this album.
