When you research for a new ABBA related book, what do you consider to be
your most important research? Fans / old newspaper articles / direct
interviews etc?

CMP: All of the above, in different respects. Newspaper/magazine articles
plus radio and television programmes I guess constitute the really important
groundwork. Although interviews with those involved can be really helpful,
it can be often be an overrated method of gaining information unless you
carefully weigh the recollections of those interviewees against established
facts and articles etc. that were actually published at the time.
