That miracle would never have happened. At least not in Brighton. Because England hadn't won Eurovision the year before. But Luxembourg - winners in both 1972 and 1973 - declined to host the music festival for a second time in a row. So it came to be that 50 years ago, ABBA began their incredible worldwide triumph on a late April evening in Brighton.
And what better way to celebrate this anniversary than with a Music Auction at Crafoord Auktioner Stockholm featuring 125 lots of highly varied items? ABBA is, of course, represented among all the signed treasures from the world of music that are now available. Including the star-shaped anniversary guitar from 2014.
But that's just one item in an extensive melodic cacophony that ranges from Frank Zappa to Veronica Maggio. In Crafoord Auktioner's showcases, you'll find Sales Award plaques from Eric Clapton, Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen, and Queen, artwork by Ulf Lundell, an album cover with autographs from the Sex Pistols, Depeche Mode memorabilia, and much more.
