Quoting Tony Stuart <habibi@inorbit.com>:
Live performance in Sweden in late 1987, outside Abba offices, when burning copies of their debut LP. According to the "Shag Times" sleeve notes, anyway.
i recall that later on B&J vaguely admitted that they made all this up, and hadn't been to sweden at all. alas I can't back this up with a credible source, maybe someone else can remember?
Since they took an NME writer and a photographer with them, the likelihood of fakeness is reduced. (Then again, IIRC the reporter was James Brown, and he's never been above gussying up (or largely fabricating) a story for the sake of either fun or publicity - refer to his period as manager for Fabulous...)
