ABBA Magazine #21

The 21st issue of the ABBA Magazine was published in February 1980 in which the editorial section confirmed that Agnetha and Frida had been working on the Spanish recordings whilst Benny and Bjorn were in Florida on a song writing trip.

The magazine contained two main articles, the first being part one of a review of ABBAs concerts in London the previous year followed by a continuation of the groups story in cartoon format.
