Notes


(I know I'm a bit late with this but ...)

Rehearsal footage has emerged in two separate sets in recent years.  The footage shows most of the musicians and crew in rehearsals and preparation for the upcoming 1977 European and Australian tour.  ABBA are included as well as all the main players in the ABBA team.

In 2005, brief snippets were included in the ABBA - The Movie: Looking Back documentary. Then some extra footage, clearly from the same filming sessions (and now credited as being filmed by Jack Churchill) was included in the ABBAWORLD exhibition when it appeared at Sydney in 2011 (it was not shown at Melbourne, London or in Hungary!).

Some of the footage is similar in both sets of footage (Agnetha and Frida rehearsing their dancing for "I'm a Marionette" and ABBA on the stage discussing plans) and some of it is exactly the same (Rune Soderqvist talking to Björn and Owe dressing Agnetha and Frida) .  The footage was silent.
