Ring Ring -Deluxe
ABBA's first official album will be re-released by Universal in October as a Deluxe version.. well sort of deluxe... 
In stead of focussing on the wonderful new album and new single of Agnetha they release yet another pointless version of ' Ring Ring' in order to squeeze the fans out of their last dollar. The album include no interesting ABBA bonuses at all and even worse....it includes songs with other peoples vocals!!! Have Universal lost it? Who in their right mind would agree to this???. The DVD is even more disappointing...it includes just three clips.. Shame! Shame! Shame!

Nothing you can do
Damage's been done
You caught him in the restroom
With another one
When everybody's looking at you
Crying's not the right thing to do
Don't run for the door
Get back on the floor
Don't give them what they're waiting for

D-d-d-dance your pain away
D-d-d-dance your pain away
Let there be rumors
Pay no attention
Lock your tears inside and show some pride
D-d-d-dance your pain away
D-d-d-dance your pain away
Create an illusion
Cause some confusion
Lock your tears inside and show some pride

Pictures in your mind
Tearing at your heart
You're breaking into pieces
But you can't fall apart
When everybody's looking at you
Better shine the whole night through
Don't run for the door
Get back on the floor
Don't give them what they're waiting for

D-d-d-dance your pain away
D-d-d-dance your pain away
Let there be rumors
Pay no attention
Lock your tears inside and show some pride
D-d-d-dance your pain away
D-d-d-dance your pain away
Create an illusion
Cause some confusion
Lock your tears inside and show some pride

Nothing, he got nothing, he got nothing, he got nothing on you, on you
Nothing, he got nothing, he got nothing, he got nothing on you, on you

Nothing you can do
Damage's been done
Don't give them what they're waiting for

D-d-d-dance your pain away
D-d-d-dance your pain away
Let there be rumors
Pay no attention
Lock your tears inside and show some pride
D-d-d-dance your pain away
D-d-d-dance your pain away
Create an illusion
Cause some confusion
Lock your tears inside and show some pride

Dance your pain away
Dance your pain away
Dance your pain away
D-d-d-dance your pain away
Dance your pain away
Dance your pain away
Dance your pain away
D-d-d-dance your pain away

Some 'news' reached us half a year ago, but we were not allowed to speak about it. Now it has been revealed on some ABBA site that this news was about Morten formally of A-ha fame has recorded a duet with Frida...

Update: a lot of conflicting rumors around this song. Officials deny the songs is recorded.. which is 'interesting' to say the least! Now it is said that Gorel Hanser has spoke out against this recording.

Well something is going on for sure!

Agnetha has hit gold with her new album A in the UK, Australia and Sweden. Germany, Norway are to follow. Total global sales are approaching 600.000 copies... A very good result in a time where the music industry is getting less and less impressive and where big markets such as the BeNeLux and France are completely neglected by Universal! (which is a biggggggg SHAME on them!) Still 'A' can be regarded a big hit in the main area's!

GERMAN POP STAR PETER PLATE & HIS TEAM DANCED THE PAIN AWAY…

Agnetha FältskogPeter Plate, member and mastermind of the German pop band Rosenstolz, with huge successes and million selling albums, has – together with his team Daniel Faust and Ulf Sommer – produced a new mix of „Dance your pain away“ by ABBA-singer Agnetha Fältskog. The version was sent out as an alternate version to all German radio stations.
Peter, famous for many hits with Rosenstolz, also worked and collaborated with other artists, such as Melanie C, Patricia Kaas or Marc Almond.
The new version „Dance your pain away (D.U.P. RMX)“ surprises as a very fresh, modern and sexy pop song. Peter states: „It was a great pleasure to work with the single files of the song, to find a new vision oft the album version and create something that is different and surprising. We all feel very honoured that we got the allowance to work on this song. We did it with a lot of fun and full of respect. Agnetha is such a great artist and we really appreciate that she and her team gave us the chance to work on this song and create something different.“
Listen to a sample of the mix go to Peter Blocks official homepage via this link:
Many greetings to you all,
Roberto (pop-out)

The release of this remix seems to be the start of a new campaign in germany to push Agnetha's album ' A' . The album did very well in the German charts, reaching the top 10 shortly after it's release and is now nearly gold in Germany. On September 8th VOX TV channel will broadcast a TV special on Agnetha nationwide. Also a TV commercial will be broadcasted at different German TV channels. It is not know if Agnetha herself will push the album in Germany, which seems to be a key factor.
