Hole In Your Soul




Hole In Your Soul (working titles: High On Your Love and Rock'n Roll): (taken from the book The Complete Recording Sessions by Carl Magnus Palm)
Backing track on 3 August 1977. (Marcus Music Studio)
Mixing on 1 November 1977. (unknown studio)


It is doubtful whether as weak as 'Get On The Carousel' from the mini-musical had ever been seriously considered for inclusion on 'The Album'. In any case, this day's recording session made sure that it would now definitely be scrapped, since its chorus had been pinched for the brigde in what was to become 'Hole In Your Soul'


Incidentally, some of the names mentioned in this song's lyrics were references to real people - 'Jerry', for instance, was apparently a nod to Jerry Greenberg, head of Atlantic Records, who released ABBA's records in the United States.




The Names of the characters mentioned in the second verse are all real people who worked with the group
