| Broadcast | 2nd October 1975, BBC1 and was repeated on 16th and 30th October 1975 on Top of the Pops (all three clips are missing from the archives). |
| Released | This show has not been included on any officially released video or DVD |
| Notes | Episode 613 ABBA performed "SOS" on Top Of The Pops according to the
BBC's Top Of The Pops web-site (introduced by Noel Edmonds although other
archive sources say it was hosted by Jimmy Saville) but,
the clip does not exist in the BBC Archive any longer.
They performed LIVE. Until the third picture below turned up in ABBA - The Scrapbook, the combination of Frida in long cat dress and Agnetha wearing jeans under her short cat dress seemed an odd one. Now it is clear they were rehearsal pictures. The third picture below must be from the actual performance. ABBA's UK visit was from 30 September - 2 October 1975. The pictures are confirmed as Top of the Pops as one of the pictures was
submitted by a book publisher for inclusion in Carl Magnus Palm's book,
ABBA - The Complete Guide To Their Music. To
back this up, the picture is also used on the
Top of the Pops web-site. The third picture below, featured in
ABBA - The Scrapbook by Jean-Marie Potiez, also confirms it as Top of the
Pops. Mud - "La La La Lucy"
