Filmed July 1976
Location Stockholm, Sweden
Broadcast Thursday 7 October 1976, Network 7, Australia
Released
Notes ABBA are interviewed on an old fishing boat around Stockholm city centre by Ian "Molly" Meldrum.  The interview is intermingled with clips:

Money Money Money (from ABBA-dabba-dooo!!)
Waterloo (from Musikladen along with the following)
Honey Honey
Mamma Mia
SOS
Rock Me
Dancing Queen
Fernando

Stig is also interviewed at Polar Music and you see a quick clip of him and Görel working together.  Swedish DJ Ulf Elfving is also briefly interviewed along with a record shop owner. (He also interviewed ABBA for the 1976 five-part radio series "A för Agnetha", "B för Benny", etc. He is also the voice heard interviewing Agnetha when she entered Svensktoppen for the first time, as featured on the "Introduktion" track on "My Love, My Life" and the De första åren box set.

They talk about how they met, songwriting, the songs on the "Arrival" album and their plans to tour Australia.

This programme was broadcast in Australia three days before ABBA-dabba-dooo!!  (re-titled "ABBA From the Beginning"). The performance of "Money Money Money" was shown twice which was a big coup for Channel 7 to debut ABBA's new single before their rivals, Channel 9 who broadcast "
ABBA-dabba-dooo!!".
