LOS ANGELES, Oct. 29 (UPI) -- Universal Music Enterprises has announced plans to release on DVD a 1978 concert film featuring the Swedish pop group ABBA performing in Japan.

"ABBA In Japan," which was taped for Japanese television more than three decades ago, is set for release Tuesday.

The only previous ABBA concert films are "ABBA In Concert" and "ABBA: The Movie."

"In Japan" shows Agnetha Faltskog, Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Ani-Frid Lyngstad performing 14 songs, such as "Take a Chance on Me," "Money, Money, Money," "SOS," "Dancing Queen," "Waterloo," "Fernando," "Knowing Me, Knowing You," "The Name of the Game" and "Thank You for the Music."

Extras on "In Japan" include two exclusive behind-the-scenes documentaries with TV performances and interviews with press and radio during ABBA's 10-day visits to Japan in 1978 and 1980, the DVD's distributors said in a news release.
