Haha, I just found another lovely historical clip...
...here are Björn and Benny in the recording studio while recording "ABBA: The Album".
They show a young fan how to play "Fernando" and they also play a snippet of the amazing song "The Name of the Game" which is being recorded.

They speak Swedish in the clip, but the clip has English subtitles.
