The Don Lane Show

Filmed	16th February 1977
Location	Stockholm, Sweden
Broadcast	LIVE by satellite to Australia
Released	The only available snippet in the archives of this programme has been officially released on The Best Of The Don Lane Show. Unfortunately only this clip (about 3 minutes) is on the DVD, not any other ABBA appearance as it would appear that this is the only thing remaining in the archives that hasn't been lost or wiped.
Notes	Don Lane interviewed ABBA live by satellite and they mainly talked about their imminent tour of Australia. This is the interview when Agnetha and Björn were asked how Linda is and Björn replies, "She called me Father this morning!" The full segment was on a Umatic tape up until the time that the 1976 show was transferred in July 2006. It was unspooled so it had to be re-spooled and the end that had come off the spool had eaten into the tape itself either cutting or chemically so that when it was played it went into bits as it disintegrated inside the machine. After many attempts, only 3 minutes were saved. However, the likelihood is that it was gone 20 years or more ago.
