(On 16 august 1974, a compilation of the first 9 shows of The Eddy Go Round Show called Flashback included ABBA's performance)
Entry originally called "The Eddy Becker Show"
This series ran from 18 March 1970 to 24 August 1976 on NCRV and contained
84 episodes.
Episode 51
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
(because they didn't speak Dutch and 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?
