Label-Information:
In May 2006, the only album ever released by the Björn & Benny duo will be re-released on CD in a remastered and expanded edition. The Lycka (“Happiness”) album was originally released in 1970 and contains the hit single ‘Hej gamle man!’; with Agnetha and Frida on backing vocals, it is the very first recording to feature all four ABBA members.
This re-release of the album has been expanded with 14 bonus tracks to make it a complete collection of all commercially released Björn & Benny recordings. Nine of the recordings are released on CD for the very first time, and some of those were previously only released in Germany and Japan. Seven of the recordings on the CD feature backing vocals by Agnetha and Frida. This remastered version of Lycka also features a previously unreleased bonus track: ‘To Live With You’, the English-language version of the song ‘Lycka’, recorded by Björn and Benny as a demo in the mid-Seventies.
The booklet features an extensive Swedish-language essay about the album and the fascinating period between Björn and Benny’s years as Sixties teen idols in Sweden and the worldwide ABBA success. The booklet is illustrated with rare single sleeves from Sweden, Norway, France, Germany, Japan and New Zealand.
