Additional information

Directed by the same guys who directed The Day Before You Came PROMO - Kjell-Åke Andersson and Kjell Sundvall - this PROMO was filmed in a gloomy, badly-lit warehouse in the industrial area of Hammarbyhamnen in southern Stockholm.  This PROMO was apparently filmed on videotape, not film.

It's all terribly exciting - Frida runs down one staircase, Agnetha hides behind some pallets and Benny and Björn run down two staircases, all lit up by a flashing red light.

This was their last PROMO video as an active group - the "end of ABBA" was symbolised by the four of them walking away together at the end into a ghostly daylight.  At that moment, I kind of knew they wouldn't ever be coming back.

Benny rushing to catch up with the rest of them as they head for the exit at the end.
