On ABBA Vocals

On this if you listen carefully the girls also sing one octave above. Or is it a harmonizer?


"Sometimes when they sung in unison, Anita perhaps going down a little and Frida struggling to get up to her, there was a certain sound to it that was amazing."


Benny Anderson


Another very important part of the ABBA vocal sound is varispeed. Ie different recording tape speed to reproduction tape speed. See their sound engineer, Michael Tretow interviews.
