With ABBA: The Musikexpress looked so colorful in November 1974

Today, our ME flashback journey takes us back to November 1974. This time, or was then, Agnetha Fältskog from ABBA can be seen on the cover – only a few months after the ESC victory, which helped the Swedish group to break through.⁠ Whether she and did we suspect at the time that almost 50 years later your band would make pop music and headlines again with a new album and a concert series with so-called abbatars?

Also featured in this issue are Udo Lindenberg and Slade! ?⁠

Why the nostalgia? On July 14th we go with the 800th edition at the start. Rejoice with us!

800 ISSUE MUSIKEXPRESS – THE BIG ANNIVERSARY

Then someone else would say that print is dead! Despite the supposed omnipotence of algorithms, MUSIKEXPRESS has been defending its regular place at the kiosk for more than 50 years, where it July 14th can be found in his 800th robe.

MUSIKEXPRESS started in 1969 as an independent, German version of the Dutch model. As Germany’s oldest music magazine, it has long since become an icon: MUSIKEXPRESS explains the pop-cultural present, builds bridges to the past and looks to the future.

For the anniversary of our 800th edition, it should be about what leads us to music. That’s why we’re dedicating our anniversary edition to 80 albums that changed our lives.

40 regular authors of the magazine and 40 musicians such as Tocotronic, Thees Uhlmann, Ilgen-Nur, Wanda, Noga Erez, Isolation Berlin, Calexico, Drangsal and many more write about records after which nothing was the same: from the Beatles to Bowie to Florence and Kendrick Lamar. Living pop culture – there is a lot to (re)discover!

This is what the 800th edition of MUSIKEXPRESS looks like
