ABBA - Just like that (MBL's Destination Mix - Nicko Edit 2006)

I love this fabbalous remix of ABBA's 'holy grail': Just like that!

'JLT' history:

"Just Like That" was originally penned by ABBA composers Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus in May 1982, and recording sessions began that same month. "Just Like That", along with a handful of other songs, were recorded with the intention of compiling them on a brand new studio album. However, Benny and Björn lost interest in "Just Like That" after several failed attempts at recording it, and decided in early June to put the "Just Like That" tapes aside.

Somehow, bootleg versions of some of the as of yet unreleased demos began circulating among fans during the 1980s. It has long been rumoured that some cassettes were stolen from Björn's car, and this has recently been confirmed by Björn himself, via Carl Magnus Palm. Since the mid-1980s, there has been an increasing interest in the official release of many of these unreleased tracks, including "Just Like That" and "I Am the City" (which was subsequently released as a bonus track for the first time on the 1993 compilation More Gold.)

In 1994, Benny and Björn allowed a small 2 minute snippet of "Just Like That" to be released as part of the ABBA Undeleted medley, compiled by producer Michael B. Tretow, on the Thank You For The Music box-set. The snippet revealed a few of the song's saxophone riffs, courtesy of Raphael Ravenscroft (who also worked on Gerry Rafferty's hit "Baker Street" in 1978), and the song's second and final choruses. The entire first and second verses were left out, as was the first chorus.

After their work with ABBA, Benny and Björn looked at "Just Like That" again, and in 1984 decided to rework both composition and lyrics, eventually ending up with two new songs. The first, which kept the original "Just Like That" chorus, was recorded by Swedish duo Gemini, with whom Benny and Bjorn also worked with producing their 1985 self-titled album. "Just Like That" was even released as a Gemini single in the UK.

The other part of the song, composed around the original "Just Like That" verses, had the demo title "When The Waves Roll Out To Sea", and was one of the songs tried out by both Elaine Paige and Tommy Körberg during sessions for the musical Chess, but it was once again put aside. It even acquired another working title and another set of lyrics after this: "With The Stars Up In The Sky". The verses to the old "Just Like That" were added to a new chorus in 1984, and it has now found its place in Chess - almost 20 years later - as the number "Glöm Mig Om Du Kan", a ballad sung by the Russian character Molokov, with Swedish lyrics by Björn.

On 28 November 2004 Elaine Paige played two demos of the track on her BBC radio show - her version of "Just Like That" and also "When The Waves Roll Out To Sea".

[2].. Jag vidarebefodrade just den videon till Min Storasyster I Vallentuna & bad henne sända den vidare till hennes Franska väninna som bor nära Aix en Provence, hon (väninnan) är helt förtrollat förälskad i allt vad Abba har gjort! Så Elin, Ditt arbete kommer att glädja henne stort!! Kram Tobbe!

Elin; Du är ju outstanding när det gäller att sammanställa fakta & bakgrund & Du har en otrolig koll på vad som är historiskt viktigt att känna till! Jag måste erkänna för Dig att jag blev riktigt tagen av det härninga andra klippet Du nyligen lade upp - The Winner Takes it All - Elin, det måste vad jag tror mig kunna se ha varit från några av Abba's kanske sista TV-framträdanden från tidigt 80-tal innan de splittrades definitivt.

Ramen är i grunden en "screen shot" av Winamp :) Men sen gjorde jag "hålet" i Windows Paint, med turkos färg i, och med videoprogrammet jag använder (Ulead) kan på ett enkelt sätt skräddarsy och använda sig av 'chroma key' så det var bara att lägga på bilden på videon och välja turkos som den färg jag ville filtrera bort :)
