ABBA Magazine #28
Issue number 28 of the ABBA Magazine was published in September 1980 and featured a picture of Frida on the cover which looks like it was taken during the filming of "The Winner Takes It All" video.
The two main pieces of news in the editorial section were that the group was gearing up to release their next album ("Super Trouper") and that Mike Oldfield had recorded a cover of "Arrival".
The magazine then detailed a trip to London by Frida, Benny and Bjorn (titled "24 Hours With ABBA") which included attending a Pink Floyd concert, newspaper interviews and a visit to Radio 1 where they were interview by Peter Powell.
