Yes, that's it: 'If It Wasn't For The Night'  It's very impressive that you can figure this out. I know nothing about chord or guitar playing... |

Just laughing at the mis-spelling on the album cover! Wish it was IIWFTN though; wouldn't it have been their only live performance of it?  |

So are there any Abba songs in A major? Well, yes. I Have A Dream for example. But unfortunately we can't narrow it down that way cos the chord of A major can crop up in songs written in various keys. My prime suspect at the moment is TYFTM because it contains both A major and A minor (which isn't too common in a pop song), and it's also a song that they did tend to wheel out if they were asked to do something impromptu or semi-impromptu. However, the point in TYFTM when A minor immediately follows A major (which is unusual) is 'I ask in all honesTY, what would life BE', and the girls' lips don't seem to be singing this. So if it is TYFTM we need to scour the lyrics and chords for a bit longer. The fact that the boys are chipping in with vocals should help. There are only so many songs that they would just strike up acoustically like this, with both chaps playing guitar and all four singing. (sorry, derailing thread!) |

^ That makes sense. I also thought about TYFTM for some reason.

That photo is a still from the promo for "Estoy Sonando" - which should explain the chord  |

That photo is a still from the promo for "Estoy Sonando" - which should explain the chord That's a slightly less tedious and more reliable way of establishing which song it was I suppose  Many thanks, a very satisfying result. I mentioned that I couldn't see whether the chord in the second photo was E major or A minor, and it was E maj as it turns out. Fafner asked about songs in A and I happened to give IHAD as an example, but the girls' lips would never have seemed right to me, cos I hadn't considered non-English lyrics. So I would have been stuck forever without your intervention  |

Oh okay thank you I am a huge photo collector, not much interested anymore in vinyl etc, I am currently doing my "own" project of a photobook and I really need the best of quality for that I also do work as a freelance journalist (beginner) so I need to watch out at some things too |

Probably you won't be able to use as a journalist the stuff that you can get free on the web, but still I can give you some tips on how to find good quality photos from various news agencies, and places like that. For example, on huffingtonpost.com (they have many great abba galleries), if you go to any photo URL and replace the "free.jpg" part at the end with "original.jpg" you get the raw photo. e.g: i.huffpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/295821/slide_295821_2414970_free.jpgi.huffpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/295821/slide_295821_2414970_original.jpg |

Benny seems to enjoy looking the horse in the eye.
Agnetha is either enthralled with a tall building or a very distinguished looking uniform.
