Arrival Advert

Filmed 1976
Location London and Shaftesbury Theatre, London, England
Broadcast UK
Released October 2006 on the "Arrival" Deluxe Edition
Notes Following the release of "ABBA - The Movie" on DVD which featured a long-forgotten advert featuring ABBA for "ABBA - The Album", one ABBA on TV regular has had his memory jogged somewhat and vaguely remembers that there was also an advert for "Arrival".  He says, "All I can recall was ABBA waving from upon high, looking down, smiling and waving and a helicopter flying (Might be imagining the last part)."

Well done Richard!   Now it's been released on the "Arrival" Deluxe Edition we can see that Richard's memory is pretty spot-on.  ABBA are seen getting out of a helicopter (Agnetha looks remarkably cheerful!), then in a car briefly and on stage in a London theatre - yes ABBA performed on London's West End stage!

Throughout the advert, ABBA are seen miming to "Dancing Queen", "Money Money Money" and "Knowing Me, Knowing You"
