ABBA - "Just like that"

Описание к видео ABBA - "Just like that"

The song was one of the last recorded by the band members together, and is notable for the fact that it has not yet been officially released in full. The composition, in which the lead vocals belong to Agnetha Feltskog and the backing vocals - Anni—Frid Lingstad, still arouses considerable interest among fans of the band."Just Like That" was originally written by Andersson and Ulvaeus in May 1982, and the first recordings began in the same month. It was assumed that the composition, along with some others, would be included in the new studio album. However, the quality of the material did not suit the band, and "Just Like That" was forgotten. During the sessions in late spring and early summer of 1982, ABBA was often visited by journalists, and therefore it became known about working on new things. Two titles flashed in print: "Just Like That" and "I Am the City". They were mentioned in the official Polar Music press release for the summer of 1982: according to the publication, the songs were completed and ready to be included on the next album. However, in fact, neither a new album nor the release of "Just Like That" followed. The result of the band's last studio sessions were four songs included on the compilation "The Singles: The First Ten Years" and released as singles in October and December 1982, respectively: "The Day Before You Came"/"Cassandra", and "Under Attack"/"You're Me One". Nevertheless, some of the recordings listed above began to circulate in the 1980s in the fan environment on bootlegs. For a long time there were rumors that their source was a cassette allegedly stolen along with Ulvaeus' car, and later he confirmed through Carl Magnus Palm that this was indeed the case. Another track, "I Am the City", was placed on the 1993 compilation More ABBA Gold: More ABBA Hits.
In 1994, Andersson and Ulvaeus allowed the inclusion of a 2-minute segment of "Just Like That" in the medley "ABBA Undeleted", composed by Michael Tretov for the album "Thank You for the Music". The publication of the excerpt gave fans hope to believe that soon the song will be released in its entirety in the original version, but these hopes, according to Palm, are groundless.
