Notes

Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid (not quite ABBA yet) performed "Ring Ring" to playback on this contemporary pop programme which ran from 1972 - 1973.

This clip has been erased from the archive and so is not available any more, the archive contains only 10 episodes from the series, and the ABBA episode is not one of those. However, a Dutch TV documentary called Pop op TV 1960-1975, broadcast on 16 December 2009 included the two colour pictures below for the first time.  The photos have now also been released in the book Pop op TV 1960-1975.

This was part of a promotional tour of Germany (Disco), Austria (Spotlight) and Belgium in the first few months of 1973

Other guests on the show were:

Shaking Stevens & the Sunsets - "Honey Honey"
Shocking Blue - "Oh Lord"
Paul Simon - "Loves Me like a Rock"
Long Tall Ernie & the Shakers - "Turn your Radio on"
