    This file was considered to have been lost. Enjoy! Pity the mono sound, but it is better than nothing.
    Thank you Sara, the owner of the fantastic ABBA on TV site, who made it all possible!

    Agnetha is impossibly adorable , if she isnt the prettiest girl in the universe i dont know who is !

    Frida Wow !! ( the red haired, for those who don't know the band) . Frida's voice is different, unique and so powerful compared to the rest of singers in the world. One can clearly hear Frida at how she has the ability to carry the melody with the strength and well balanced harmonies. When it comes down to live performance we have been able to see that Frida is the channel who commands the band in a ulterior way, not to many singers do. Even to these days # voyage

    Anytime we can hear Agnetha & Friday singing live, it's a treat. Their live voices sound almost the same as their recorded voices & that's rare, it's also what makes them one of the greatest bands of all time.

    Don't they just look radiant, happy and glowing , they are the best pop/ rock band there has ever been. And I love their outfits too.

    I can't believe it! It is really very extremely rare. Fantastic!
    As per Frida's look, it's simple. She is an artist and artists can do whatever they want to do with their looks. Also Frida always was a chameleon. Am I wrong? I remember when the Album Voulez-Vous was released, I thought that the brunet wasn't Frida and it took weeks to realize that she was indeed Frida. She is funny, beautiful, gifted, great, fabulous I just can't stop laughing out loud here. I'm in heaven with this video.

    I always regarded this number as the best ass-kicking song that ABBA ever did - and Anni Frida gave a lifetime performance that was, and still is, totally outstanding! Ever the lady, you had it then, girl, and you still have it now - thank you for bringing your unique and outgoing style of oomph!! to the most talented pop group of the 20th century.
    P.S. And the Bunny-hop dance at the coda is still a joy to behold.

    Always I have prefered Agnetha in every context, she's my favourite. But I dont think that Frida ruined herself with this hairs. She was known about their many-coloured personality, and crazy stage presences. I like her attitude, but Agni is my angel forever ;)

      Yes, Agnetha was and still is the most amazing gal in music. From her angelic voice to her beautiful long legs,that extend gracefully to the earth from her perfect bum. A smile that will warm the coldest heart, gorgeous big blue eyes that'll take you on an endless sensual trip. Her lovely flowing blonde hair draping softly upon her shoulders and the pair of luscious lips who can build a smile on the crabbiest face. A stunning and gracious woman indeed! Love you Agnetha 💕 wish i met you in the 60s

    wow how much more prominent Benny's piano play than on record. Love it. Actually loved So Long much better than Waterloo, but for whatever reason it bombed in most countries. At least in Germany it was a decent nr. 11 on the charts.... after Waterloo hit number 1 and Honey Honey hit number 2....

    All TV sound was mono in 1974. Stereo TV didn't arrive until the mid-1980s. The fact that it's only playing in the right channel is an easy to fix video transfer error.

      ABBFridalicious Yes, a BBC camera operator, who had retired I think, had kept tapes of shows like this at home. A lot of tapes at the studios got routinely wiped. But this guy went through stuff in his garage, like that, and found this. One tape was all it took!

    Great performance, and with a live vocal too! This edition of TOTP was of course wiped by the BBC, as were many editions in the early 70s. It's surprisingly good quality, both audio and video. So Long is one of my favourites. Shame that, despite this TOTP performance, it didn't chart in the UK.

The book has only just been released so you may wish to reticle your video to reflect the correct date, as I'm sure fans will want to see the video.
