| Notes | 'Spotlight' was a weekly TV show for teenagers on channel ORF1 (Österreichischer Rundfunk). This TV music series focussed on music with local and national live guests & videos and from 1968 to 1978 hosted by popular bearded Austrian TV presenter Peter Rapp. ABBA performed 'Honey Honey' and 'So Long' to playback. The 'Honey Honey' clip was, for a long time, considered to be the PROMO for the song when in fact none was actually made. Björn looks like he's wearing pyjamas in this programme! The performance of 'Honey Honey' would appear to be quite unique in that
(unless you can think of any others), this is the only performance where you
never seen ABBA performing as a group of four ... the filming of the clip
only shows Benny/Björn or Agnetha/Frida.
