Abba at the BBC

[peterflint]

Abba are the latest artists that will have their own BBC compilation to be broadcast soon. Perhaps it will include So Long from TOTP which I dont think was ever broadcast since originally seen.Maybe some clips between the songs such as interviews as well.

I'm hoping the BBC will finally dig out the Nationwide appearance from 15/02/78. It's one of the only Abba BBC appearances not to be released on any official DVD release.

The Abba interview and acoustic 'Thankyou For The Music' performance from The Late Late Breakfast Show 06/11/82 was included on the deluxe CD/DVD edition of 'The Visitors' released  last year.

'I Have A Dream' and 'Under Attack' from The Late Late Breakfast Show 11/12/82 was included on the DVD 'Abba - Number Ones' which was released in 2006.

I remember that version of "Thank you for the music" from original transmission..

Didn't the prog run out of time about 1 minute in?

It did run out of time on it's original transmission but it's included in full on this release.
The song is only a short 2min version but this runs a good minute longer than we first saw and we see the band standing around chatting to Noel Edmonds at the end.
