    I just listened to the ABBA record and both Man in the Middle and So Long is about not being greedy, so I guess that is why ABBA had that cover idea...same as Peps did with coffe and cheaper flowers etc
    whilst ABBA had the "rich" image.. but they sing "we are not like that".

    ABBA was something all listened to as a kid and just like KISS that doesn't make it bad music, you can't choose your age or generation, this cover is the same as Peps Blodsband's Hög Standard/High Standards...but Benny liked these bands back in the day. But ABBA was never playing those festivals goes without saying, no prog for them. Same these days in Sweden...music is free...one might wonder who is the worst bourgeoisie, actually those hard marxists back in the day and now, not Peps of course but other bands like that...funny when you think about it, ABBA was more openminded than the prog community. In Sweden prog was very far left but I like the Träd Gräs & Stenar and Kebnekaise style kinda like Hedningarna in the 90s too...which was around the time when these 70s bands got their upswing and started coming out on CD when you think about it just during the Hedningarna wave... On international festivals it was more open for all which I like and Woodstock had bands from all styles even some 50s rock and disco funk.
