The recording sessions for 'Summer night city' began in early 1978. The new recording studio, Polar Music, had opened in May 1978, but it wasn't ready to use, so the primary backing track had been recorded at Metronome
Studio. Allegedly, mixing the single took at least a week, far more than it took
to mix any other track in ABBA's recording history. In the end, the
song had an enormous amount of compression applied to it to give it a
more "driving" sound.
The Hungarian edition of the single has a sleeve with glossier paper than its Western European counterparts. The photographs of the band members are much clearer on this sleeve than on any other edition.
