ABBA - The Album Advert

Filmed 15th or 16th February 1978 at a guess
Location London, UK at a guess
Broadcast UK
Released This advert has been released officially on ABBA - The Album (Deluxe Edition) and ABBA - The Album (2 Disc DVD)
Notes An amazing advert included in the Limited Special Edition of the "ABBA - The Movie" DVD.  You see them briefly sing along to "The Name of The Game", "Take A Chance On Me" and "Thank You For The Music".

Possibly filmed when ABBA were in London for the premiere of "ABBA - The Movie" ie. when they were on Blue Peter and had those famous Dorchester Hotel balcony pictures taken - Agnetha was wearing a brown wrap over her jeans in those pictures and she wears it here also.

As the advert is for the UK Epic version (blue cover) then it figures that it was filmed in London.  And it's possible it could have been directed by Lasse Hallström as he would have been in London for the première also.
