![]() ![]() Written by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson on a break in Barbados in January 1980, “Happy New Year” is a perfect capture of ABBA’s bittersweet magic. It has, like so many songs within ABBA’s cherished catalog, become a standard. It was only ever issued at the time of release as a single in Argentina (in its Spanish language version, “Felicidad”, included here as the B-side). In different times, “Happy New Year” – sung by Agnetha Fältskog with back-ups from Anni-Frid (Frida) Lyngstad – would have been released as a worldwide single, but ABBA, conscious of never short-changing their fans, had already released two singles from Super Trouper, with a third on its way (the title track, “The Winner Takes It All” and “Lay All Your Love On Me”) so it remained the opener of the album’s second side. This December we celebrate “Happy New Year”, a stand-out cut from ABBA’s Super Trouper album that soundtracked the festive season and far beyond 40 years ago. Polar Music is delighted to announce this years version of Happy New Year, strictly limited, numbered, translucent blue vinyl 7″-inch edition in exclusive packaging. ![]()
