I was doing some research in old 'Record World' magazines and spotted this single review for "Beechwood 4-5789" from the final issue in 1982. No wonder the magazine ended 
An interesting review...
- Thread starter ABBAFANUSA
- Start date
Obviously the reviewer was thinking of Richard and Linda Thompson.

Thanks for posting, I’ve never seen the full review. It was referenced in the Coleman biography that one review of their latest single absentmindedly referred to them as “Richard and Linda”. It’s obviously this one.
P.S. Great username, I’m also a huge fan

ABBA fan here as well. I had a friend that had the typical view music snobs have, of acts like the C's and ABBA. Turns out he loved the Chess musical...when I told him to look up the names Benny Anderson and Bjorn Ulvaeus as relates the music, he was wowed and had a whole new appreciation for their talent.

Sloppy mistake, with no editorial oversight to correct it. The reviewer must've been absentmindedly thinking of another duo: Richard and Linda Thompson.
As has been noted above.
I wouldn't say "No editorial oversight." It was just a mistake. Billboard was and is a weekly magazine, with a huge number of contributors. Mistakes happen, and considering the enormous amount of information in a typical Billboard (and considering almost none of it was done on computers back then), it's surprising there aren't more.
