The cover is a Shampoo promotional by the company Melody. There is no reference to the contents on the cover. The manufacturer of the cover is “Helsingin Paino”, printed with small letters on the lower right corner of the rear cover.  Although there is no Abba reference on the cover, some LP promotional records are very scarce in Finland. When you are looking for a certain item, they may surface once or twice in a lifetime, if you are lucky.

Comes within the Finnish pressed “Visitors” lyrics inner sleeve. The Finnish printer’s name “Helsingin Paino” with small print on bottom left corner on the another side of the sleeve.
