The Eddy Becker Show

Filmed Wednesday 24 April 1974
Location Netherlands
Broadcast April 1974, NCRV, Netherlands
Released This show has not been included on any officially released video or DVD
Notes Presumably they performed "Waterloo" (live or to playback?)- doesn't appear to exist in the TV vaults any more. Eddy briefly interviewed ABBA in English (they didn't speak Dutch, he didn't speak Swedish).

Eddy had contracted ABBA to appear before they won the Eurovision Song Contest. Stig ensured that his promise for ABBA to appear on this show was fulfilled, even though they were in huge demand following their Eurovision win.

All Eddy Becker shows (1974 and two in 1975) have been erased. Apparently TV company NCRV saved Best of Compilations but these were all destroyed in 1976 when the the show finished and the original logs were thrown away when they moved to a new building.

But according to page 91 of  ABBA - The Book by  Jean-Marie Potiez and ABBA Annual, the Eddy Becker Show was sold to the BBC although there is no mention of this in the BBC files that it was ever acquired ... who knows?
