These well known photo-sessions were taken in the part of Stockholm called Djurgården in the late summer of 1975. The place is the restaurant "Ulla Winblad". Agnetha & Frida were posing outside the restaurant. Benny & Björn can be seen sitting at one of the tables. Pictures from this session were used aa on the French compilation release "Golden Double Album".
The "Greatest Hits" photo sessions

How to get there |
It's still unknown where exactly the cover picture for the "Greatest Hits" album (the European & US versions) was taken but the investigation is in process. Anyway, some well-known shots were taken on the same day outside the restaurant "Ulla Winblad" on Djurgården in Stockholm (see even related place no 32). The restaurant area has been changed during the years but the building is still the same.

This part of these photo sessions was taken outside "Sjöhistoriska Museet" (The National Maritime Museum) situated not far away from Kaknästornet. The "right" canon is still there but it has been moved some meters during those 28 years that has gone since the session was taken.

We found the door. Mission impossible!... almost. The door is the main entrance to "Sjöhistoriska Museet" (The National Maritime Museum) in Stockholm.

The Bravo photographer Wolfgang Heilemann took an extensive photo sessions with ABBA in Vallentuna outside Stockholm where the four group members lived by that time (until 1975). The photos were taken behind Agnetha's and Björn's house.

Exactly the same position as Björn. |
That's what they saw when they posed for the photo... |

At the beginning of 1970s Agnetha and Björn had a flat on the island Lilla Essingen in Stockholm. Björn, Benny, Agnetha and Frida posed for a photo session some day in 1970. In the background can be seen Västerbron (West Bridge) and the church of Högalid (with two towers).
