SOS PROMO

Filmed 28-29 April 1975
Location SVT Studios and Djurgården, Stockholm
Broadcast
Notes One studio shot with them all looking up was filmed at the same time as the PROMOs to 'Mamma Mia' and 'I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do'. That was part of the original PROMO to 'SOS' but it was re-shot as this version as it was felt it was too similar to 'Mamma Mia'.

It's available on "ABBA Gold" (video and DVD) and "ABBA - The Definitive Collection" (DVD) amongst others.

The PROMOS for 'SOS', 'Bang-A-Boomerang', 'I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do' and 'Mamma Mia' were directed by Lasse Hallström at a combined cost of less than 50,000 Swedish Kronor.  These were the four songs that were felt to have the strongest hit potential from the 'ABBA' album and filmed with a view to promote it.

Watch Out For

The weirdest shot ever of Agnetha - it looks like a kneecap with a blonde wig over it and has a smiley face on it if you look hard enough!
