The Retroscope: 19 December

1981: ABBA scored their seventh UK #1 album with “The Visitors”, their eighth and final studio album released on 30 November 1981. The album was one of the first records to be recorded and mixed digitally and was the first in history to be manufactured on the new CD format in 1982 on Atlantic.
1987: The Pet Shop boys had their third UK #1 single with their synthpop version of “Always On My Mind”. It was initially performed at an ITV network television special commemorating the tenth anniversary of Presley’s death. Their performance was so well received that it eventually became their Christmas #1.
