Description

Rare 1991 cd release

Nu Tändas Tusen Juleljus (Now A Thousand Christmas Candles Are Lit) is a Christmas album in Swedish, recorded in 1980 by Swedish pop singer and ABBA member Agnetha Fältskog and her daughter Linda Ulvaeus, who was at the time 7 years old. The album was co-produced by Fältskog and Michael B. Tretow and recorded in the Polar Studios with the same musicians as on contemporary ABBA recordings. The album was recorded in November 1980 but since it wasn’t completed in time for Christmas 1980 it was postponed and not released until nearly a year later, in October 1981. Nu tändas tusen julejus, which was Fältskog’s first Swedish language recording for the Polar Music label after having left CBS-Cupol, peaked at No. 6 on the Swedish album chart in January 1982, has been re-released on cd by Polar Music/PolyGram/Universal Music and is one of the best-selling Swedish Christmas albums of all time. The album name is derived from one of Scandinavia’s best-known Christmas carols.
