About En Karusell

"En karusell" was originally released in 1972 as a 7" single in Sweden which was sung in Swedish and also in Japan where the song was titled "En Carousel" and sung in English. The song was included as the A-side song and was credited to Björn & Benny. Future members of ABBA Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad did backing vocals on the song but were not credited for their contribution. The B-side song on the Swedish release was titled "Att finnas till" and the B-side song on the Japanese release was titled "Lycka". "En karusell" failed to enter Svensktoppen (a popular top ten chart for songs in Swedish) but the B-side of the single "Att finnas till" lay on that chart for three weeks. The song was covered by Anita Lindblom in 1972 and In 1975 was covered by Birgitta Wollgård & Salut. In English "Att finnas till" translates to "to exist".
