I remember the first time I heard that song. I was working as a taxi driver at the time and was in the Railway Station here in Holyhead and Johnny Walker was doing "Drive Time" on BBC Radio 2. He played that song and I was hooked.
I didn't have a computer at the time but Lin had and she downloaded it for me even though she didn't like the song
I recommend it to all new parents cos suddenly, the time goes and your kids are all grown up and you've missed special times in their lives.

It was only an album track and never (AFAIK) released as a single.
ABBA were, like so many other groups, SO MUCH more than their singles releases which is why on Cable I'll try and play other perhaps unheard of tracks from various groups and artistes.
Chris DeBurgh is another case and point. Mention him to most people and they will say "Ahh yes, Lady In Red". He did so much more and far better than that song!

I agree wholeheartedly. A few of my friends have said that I only played obscure stuff on my radio programmes, they're probably right, but it gave me a chance to explore and showcase stuff which would be otherwise overlooked by the mainstream.
I have a track by Spandau Ballet which would normally have been discarded as rubbish by friends of mine who were into rock music and not "New Romantic" stuff. When I played it for them, they liked it and changed their attitude toward the group.
