This Musikladen programme was released by ARD in August 2010 on their
1972-1976 "Best of" DVD box set of 10 DVDs (there were three
available at 99.95 Euros each or 249 Euros for all three). The box set 1
included a 44-page booklet with liner notes and information about each
episode and also includes some pictures. For episodes 20 and 25 there are a
few lines about ABBA while for episode 27 they explain how the Double LP
The Very
Best Of ABBA, ABBA's Greatest Hits came about. However, since November 2010,
these boxes (including Box 2: 1976-1980 incl. Chiquitita (1979) and Box 3:
1981-1984 incl. solo performances) are no longer available because of
copyright issues between the ARD and "a music company". According ABBA
Intermezzo, in December 2010, "We have heard that fans are discussing
whether it could be Universal objecting to the release of the Musikladen
DVDs featuring ABBA performances. Unfortunately we can't tell you which
record company is taking action against the release, but we can 100% confirm
you that it's not because of the ABBA performances. A permission for this
has been granted long ago."
Notes
This (live vocal) performance of "SOS" was included in the 1976
