Chris and Jane (copyrightliteracy.org) talk to researcher, author and the world's leading expert on all things ABBA - Carl Magnus Palm. They discuss ABBA's origins and the division of creative labour in the band, how the band got their name, the ABBA revival in the 1990s and how they have responded to the huge number of tribute acts. They also share stories of the authorised and unauthorised uses of ABBA's music and once again get dragged into the weird world of the KLF.
