Göran Malmberg built Björn Ulvaeus' star guitar seen in the Waterloo and Ring, Ring promotional videos. Malmberg also built the speaker cabinets for Led Zeppelin used in the Communication Breakdown promotional video. You can obviously see in the video it is a Marshall head, but not a Marshall cabinet. Ahmet Ertegun signed Led Zeppelin immediately after seeing this promo. Ertegun regret missing the chance to sign The Beatles, and since then always had an ear out for what will be the next big thing - so you know - he signed ABBA.
