Benny was interviewed for this most modern of things - an electronic press kit (a film presentation of Benny talking and playing songs on the piano) for distribution to media and news outlets by way of promotion for his new solo album Piano. News programmes could then select parts from the EPK to include in their own news reports.
He talked about the background to why he recorded his solo album Piano, how he chose the songs for inclusion and played some snippets of songs from the album:
Some brief footage was filmed in the spring (when the lilac rhododendrons were blooming outside the Mono Music office). But mostly the footage was Benny in the studio with occasional shots of ABBA The Museum. There were two versions - one with English subtitles (even though he was speaking in English) and one with German subtitles.
A couple of songs were later made available in full on Benny's YouTube channel, when they had been used in part in the EPK.
There is some crossover in footage included in Live and Direct.
