Released
Notes Episode 629 - presented by Dave Lee Travis (DLT)

A rare live performance of "Mamma Mia" - sweet clear vocals over a pre-recorded backing. Apparently two versions were recorded: firstly with Swedish musicians only (Caj Högberg, Ola Brunkert and Lasse Wellander) and secondly with Swedish and British musicians.

This episode has apparently been wiped.
