    I Am The City, You Owe Me One, Just Like That, Cassandra, Under Attack & The Day Before You Came were recorded in 1982 during the sessions for their unfinished 9th album.

      They are not considered part of the "The Visitors"-album because real fans talk about the original albums. The 1982 tracks have absolutely nothting to do with The Visitors.@@AbbaVideosCZcams

      "Hovas vittne" is a smash hit! What an awesome tune. Imagine if it were released as an official ABBA song. 👌
      "Tivedshambo" was actually composed by Stikkan Anderson, at least he is credited for it.

    In my opinion The Visitors is one of the best pop albums ever released. And if some of these out takes would have made it to
    the album making it into a double album it would have been the absolute best of ALL.

      Yes, I think it was their greatest achievement too. And I just can't escape the incredible fact that the masterpiece "The day before you came", my favourite Abba track if I have to pick one, was the last song they ever recorded - before Voyage 40 years later that is!

    I had heard the Angel Passing Through My Room versions before but had not heard the others, and now can't get Hovas Vittne out of my head (I don't speak a lick of Swedish). I am also fascinated with this rough draft of Two For The Price of One, a song I barely tolerated on the Visitors album. But this rendition has more relevance and interest to me..."Sometimes I wished I had a ... knife." Woah. I could also discern Benny's singing here. I always thought he was faking it in the live performances with the mic so far from him and it looked like he was just phoning it in, but he really sings. Also TFTPOO (nice initials) sounds a little like an incel dude is singing it. I remain under impressed with Just Like That. Under Attack sounds really cool in this version. Thanks for posting this.

      @@AbbaVideosCZcams Well... Frida & Agnetha's singing is so passionate and playful that I'm not sure it would be the same in English. I am in Quebec and one time when listening on the radio, heard a song in French that was so good and pretty that I needed to know who had sung it. Turns out it was Celine Dion. Who has a great voice, but not one I go out of my way to listen to. Different in her native tongue!

    Pity that Two For The Price Of One didn’t stay an outtake… it’s definitely the low point of the album. Should I Laugh Or Cry should have been on the original album (it ended up being the B side of One Of Us) but that would have given Frida one more song than Agnetha, so I’d say that’s why Björn got the album track.
