The latest Frida item I have added to my collection is a 7" single of "To Turn The Stone" (b-side "I Got Something") which was originally released in the Netherlands during October 1982 where it reached number 6 in the charts.

Abba Magazine #1 Mini Re-Print
I recently found this mini re-print of the first edition of the official Abba Magazine in my collection - from memory it was included as an insert with the last edition of the magazine.
International Abba Magazine #12
Issue 12 of the International Abba Magazine was first published during November 1982. The editorial section included news related to "Abba The Singles - Then First 10 Years", Frida's promotion of her solo album, Abba's next single "Under Attack" and Agnetha's duet with Tomas Ledin "Never Again" (the lyrics of which were also printed in this issue).
The first major article in the magazine was titled "We Are The Music Men" which discussed the various keyboard and studio techniques used by Benny to make the Abba sound.
The second piece was titled "Trains & Boats & Planes" featured pictures of the group during the 1979 tour whilst using various forms of transport.
The magazine also included a discography and chart positions from Sunshine Records in Zimbabwe where two of the group's singles had reached number one ("Dancing Queen" and "Chiquitita") and all nine of their albums had reached the top of the charts.
A two page preview of the 1983 Abba Annual is also included which was also available to order at the price of £3.
