• ABBA in America
• Bravo on tour with Peter Frampton
• Introducing Aerosmith’s singer Steven Tyler
• Puhdys, the first East-German band to be allowed to play in the West (in Hamburg)
• Ex-Bay City Roller Ian Mitchell joins the Young City Stars (soon to become Rosetta Stone)
• Gilbert O’Sullivan tries a comeback
• Peter Maffay about his song about a 16-year-old losing his virginity to a 31-year-old (Maffay lost his cherry at 17 to a 29-year-old, her tells Bravo)
