Details

Because this Swedish group (with Abba member Bjorn Ulvaeus) wasn't allowed their Swedish name The Hootenanny Singers in the UK, they called themselves The Northern Lights in the UK. The a-side is written by the ex-Manfred Mann singer Mike d'Abo, who was present in the recording studio during the recording of the song. The b-side is written by Bjorn Ulvaeus, who became a member of Abba. Deomonstration record / Not for sale.
