Ring Ring

Ring Ring is the first album by Swedish singing group ABBA, released in 1973 (see 1973 in music). The album wasn't released in the United States until 1995. The re-release artwork for the album (shown right) uses the name "Abba", though in fact at the time of the original album's release, the name Abba had not yet been coined. The original album is awkwardly credited to "Bjorn, Benny, Agnetha & Frida".
