We are not the platform to complain, BUT... Universal Musicin The Netherlands are really fucking up the CD release of A, and of the single 'When you really loved someone'
![]()
The album is out for a week now and is doing so well in the UK, Scandinavia, Australia, Germany etc...but is NOWHERE to be found in regular CD stores and department-stores in Holland. They simply did not get a supply from Universal. And fans of ABBA and Agnetha want to buy a real CD not just a download.
The remixes of ' When you really loved someone' are not released on ITunes, Amazon, or on a real cd single. Why? This will push the sales of the cd!

Also there is NO publicity apart from an introductional piece in De Telegraaf newspaper a few weeks ago. We have been in touch with De Telegraaf, Libelle womensmagazine and Veronica TV guide (all leading papers here in the Netherlands) and they would LOVE to do an interview with Agnetha and would reserve features in their publications. Also several TV and radio programs wantto meet up with Agnetha...

Universal are doing nothing. Fans have been told Agnetha is not of interest to Universal in The Netherlands and they will not broadcast a commercial or invest anything in this release. SHAME on them. Holland has always been a very loyal base for ABBA. This week A enters the chart at no 14, without ANY promotion.. This proves the potential of Agnetha in The Netherlands. This fantastic CD can and should be top 5 here!
It is not too late!
Agnetha's producmanager in The Netherlands is Fione van Gestel. Please write and convince them topromote Agnetha!!!!! fione.van.gestel@umusic.com
