Agnetha Faltskog - I Won't Let You Go (Epic)

The Bet Lynch of a famous Scandinavian soap opera returns. While fellow Abba stars Bjorn and Benny go on to musicals and Frida becomes a big hit with the squaddies, Agnetha comes up with a sub-standard bubbly Euro-disco record and flashes those eyes of hers seductively on the cover from behind a dead animal skin. (Eleanor Levy, Record Mirror, April 6, 1985)

Three years on from 'Under Attack' - Abba's final chart entry - blonde singer Agnetha surfaces with a chirpy attempt to recapture past glories. But without the songwriting genius of Bjorn and Benny, she struggles bravely with a number which wouldn't have made an Abba B-side. How the mighty have fallen .. .  (Dave Ling, No 1, April 6, 1985)

If Abba were Sweden's No.1 export in the 70s ahead of Volvo and Saab, Agnetha's solo efforts to date must count for all of two estate cars and a hatchback. "I Won't Let you Go" is a happy little melody sitting on top of a very dated disco beat. I suppose if they could beam her back to 1976 this might do well in the Eurovision Song Contest, but now.. . Can't see John Peel playing it. (Frank Hopkinson, No 1, April 27, 1985)
