Ring Ring is ABBA's debut album and was released in 1973. It was recorded and developed at the time when the band were officially coming together: the creator couples were hooking up (one of them already married with a child), the members had other commitments with solo projects and the music groups in Sweden that they already had, and they were throwing ideas over what songs to pick.When the album was first released, the artist was credited as their original band name, "Björn, Benny & Agnetha, Frida". The name of the group hadn't been officially chosen at the point, but was fixed after they became worldwide success. On top of this, the album was released only in certain countries.The places where ABBA had been successful the most in their career (the UK, the USA and Australia) didn't get an official release until years after the band dissolved. One could argue that it was probably due to the Old Shame factor because Björn and Benny have expressed embarrassment in the later years over many songs included on this album. Nevertheless, it spawned several hit singles, most notably the Title Track, which hit the top ten in five countries, topping the charts in their native Sweden.TracklistSide One "Ring, Ring" (3:04) "Another Town, Another Train" (3:12) "Disillusion" (3:04) "People Need Love" (2:46) "I Saw It In The Mirror" (2:34) "Nina, Pretty Ballerina" (2:51)Side Two "Love Isn't Easy (But It Sure Is Hard Enough)" (2:53) "Me And Bobby And Bobby's Brother" (2:50) "He Is Your Brother" (3:18) "She's My Kind Of Girl" (2:44) "I Am Just A Girl" (3:01) "Rock 'N' Roll Band" (3:09) 2001 CD re-release bonus tracks "Merry Go Round" (3:24) "Santa Rosa" (2:59) "Ring Ring (Bara du slog en signal)" (3:08) | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: ABBA wasn't really a band yet, and they were still figuring out their musical direction. This sometimes leads to invoked Fanon Discontinuity. | |

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole | |
| Ring Ring (Music) / int_5663a595 | comment |
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: This album wasn't released in the UK during the band's lifespan, resulting in many people being unaware of its existence. Their Greatest Hits compilation of 1975, therefore, was the first UK release of a number of singles from the album. This was resolved by simply omitting the information of them being from an album, which led buyers to think they were new songs. To make matters more confusing, the song "Ring Ring" appeared as a bonus track on the UK release of Waterloo. | |

The first story is of a wind-up merchant that likes arguing with strangers, making himself a public pariah with no friends. When he gets into another fight, a voice in his head tells him that he should be nice to people, because they might turn his back on them in the future during a time of need. | |

The Power of Love | |
| Ring Ring (Music) / int_6a696742 | comment |
The Power of Love: Most of the songs on this album arguably have this theme. Considering this album took about two and a half years to make throughout the early 1970s, it might explain the late-'60s hippie feel. | |

Officially Shortened Title | |
| Ring Ring (Music) / int_6d4ac1f1 | comment |
Officially Shortened Title: "She's My Kind Of Girl". The actual quote from the song is "she's just my kind of girl", so this is a minor case of the trope because the title only takes out one word. Outside Sweden, "Ring Ring (Bara Du Slog En Signal)" is more widely known as "Ring Ring (Swedish version)". In addition, "Ring Ring (Engelsk Version) [English Version]" is simply known as "Ring Ring". | |

When he gets into another fight, a voice in his head tells him that he should be nice to people, because they might turn his back on them in the future during a time of need. The second story is of a self-centered woman that never cared about others, making herself a lonely woman. When she turns down a begging homeless man, she hears a voice telling her to be nice to him otherwise he won't help her at her time of need. | |

Dancing Royalty: "Nina, Pretty Ballerina" is about a seemingly-boring woman named Nina with a lack of social skills, who was ignored at work but would go out to a nightclub every Friday and clear dance-floors with her amazing talent. Then, on Monday, it's back to the office, "living in a dream". | |
