"Agnetha Fältskog" was the debut album by Swedish pop singer and ABBA member Agnetha Fältskog. The eponymous album was released on the Cupol label in Sweden in early 1968.
Agnetha had been singing with the local Swedish "dansband" Bengt Engharts in Jönköping for quite a while when the band in the Autumn of 1967 decided to send a tape of demos to the record-company Cupol. Singer, producer and A & R man Little Gerhard (né Karl-Gerhard Lundqvist) listened to the tape and happened to notice that besides the band's demos there was also a young girl singing - on the flipside of the tape, backwards. He played it the other way round and heard "Jag var så kär" for the first time. Lundqvist was so impressed with the song and Fältskog's voice that he phoned her up at the car firm where she was working at the time and offered her a recording contract - only as a solo singer, without the band.
"Jag Var Så Kär" - in fact the B-side of debut single "Följ Med Mig" - became Fältskog's first entry and also number one on the all-important radio chart Svensktoppen in January of 1968. After the following success of the tracks "Utan dej, mitt liv går vidare", "Allting har förändrat sig", "Den jag väntat på" and "Snövit och de sju dvärgarna", most of them composed by Fältskog herself, Cupol released her debut album in the Spring of 1968, containing all tracks previously issued on these singles as well as a few new recordings.
