I sort of knew Century 21 Publishing had a hand in some Abba music books in the UK, so when I saw a random Abba softback, For the Record, in a charity shop today I just had to check.
Yep, sure enough, there was Keith Shackleton's name - six lines from the bottom -, former head of Century 21 Merchandising back in the day (a big deal in Gerry Anderson's organisation). No mention of Century 21 in the book though as far as I could see.
If it was cheap, i'd have bought it. Love Abba - such clever songwriting and Agnetha's beautiful voice too. Such a shame they shoved it all in the meat grinder for the deplorable Mama Mia films! Bill
ReplyDeleteIt was a tenner. Too dear. I'm not a big Abba fan and the C21 connection is not strong enough to justify getting it. They were a force to be reckoned with Bill for sure. Like Kate Bush. Pity Kate never made a film.
