"Rock'n Roll Band" is a song by Swedish pop group ABBA (then credited as "Björn & Benny with Anna & Frida") from the album Ring Ring.
The song was released in the US in July 1973 as their third single on Playboy Records, credited to "Björn & Benny with Anna & Frieda" (with an 'E' added to Frida).[1] The flip side was the previous single, "Another Town, Another Train".[2] The Ring Ring album was not released in the United States until 1995.
In the UK, it was released as the B-side to "Ring Ring" when issued in October 1973 and when re-issued in June 1974. As in the US, the Ring Ring album was not released, so these two tracks were the only ones from the album to be released in the UK until more were included in Greatest Hits in 1976. "Rock'n Roll Band" unavailable on an album in the UK until Ring Ring was eventually released in 1992.
South Africa and Rhodesia released it as the B-side to "Another Town, Another Train" on the Sunshine label in February 1974.[3]
There are at least two known versions of this track: the 3.11 version released as ABBA and a shorter early mix was released on the remastered version of Lycka by Benny & Bjorn.
