Notes
Spotlight was a programme for teenagers mainly introducing them to new music and artistes from around the world.

With Inger Brundin still standing in for Agnetha (who had given birth to Linda a month earlier), they performed "People Need Love" and "Ring Ring", the latter being performed standing around a low rotating chandelier and was introduced by popular bearded Austrian TV presenter Peter Rapp.

This was part of a promotional tour of Germany (Disco) Netherlands (Popzien) and Belgium in the first few months of 1973.

Some rehearsal footage of this Spotlight appearance was featured on "Austria Wochenshau" on 8 June 1973. 
In 2004 a DVD called Austria Wochenschau was released in Austria including 24 seconds of ABBA footage during rehearsals (in black and white) - see below.
