Apologies for the picture quality but the sound is okay. Standard press conference with a tetchy Bjorn hearing the same old questions is lightened by a funny diplomat towards the end

I'm sure that I must have already posted this elsewhere, but we can't have a favourite interviews thread without the 1975 Eddy Go Round 'how did you meet?' question. Agnetha pretends to be annoyed that Björn says she fell in love with him rather than the other way round. Then Frida asks Benny 'did you fall in love with me?' and gets a hilariously curt reply. It looks like Frida has taken it in good humour, but just in case she hasn't Benny whispers something to her (presumably 'I didn't mean it'!) at 5mins 38secs: |

Check out 1) Frida's groovy hair. 2) Frida checking with Agnetha that she had understood the English interviewer's question. 3) Agnetha's understandable difficulty with our subjunctive mood ('not so much as people might think') 4) Agnetha's unusual fist clench (what is she doing; grasping all that imaginary money tight?). 5) The last three seconds or so.

Why is this a favourite interview, you may well ask. After all, it's in Swedish, which I don't speak, with Spanish subtitles, which I can't understand (the Spanish YouTube upload has the best quality). Well, firstly it was filmed at the Odeon theatre in my home city of Birmingham. Second, the boys are wearing more eye makeup than the girls Third, there's a spectacular display of gold boots etcetera at 42 seconds. Plus, stay tuned for the interview with Bob Woffinden, an NME journalist. Conventional wisdom is that back then ABBA was scorned by the 'serious' music press, but Bob could hardly be more complimentary. Also noteworthy is the security guard's confirmation (1m57s) that the theatre received 52,000 applications for the 2,400 tickets. |

Quick, rapid fire questions from Dick Clark. The ladies had their English skills up to par.

That is an old favorite clip, which makes an old man less rigid in two ways: I remember both NME and Swedish Television as a solid block of enemies, but here some of them come across as almost human…) |

I think this one is quite interesting, because it was done in their throes and is contemporaneus with the ghastly Cavett and Noel Edmonds affairs, which are always used to illustrate how miserable they were towards the end. I don't think you can imagine them any more more relaxed than here, and it can't be just because they speak their own language, I think.

That was horribly uncomfortable viewing. The above is a great find and it was great to see still a little flicker of warmth in old ‘82. P.S. I think Frida’s look is really cool here. Way better than that Super Trouper perm! |

The Don Late Satellite interview is one of my all-time favourites - relaxed and funny. Björn's reply "She called me father this morning" is priceless :-)

Great clip. All four seem very relaxed and they look amazing. And while Frida might not have spoken until the end, her contribution was in her natural, beautifully witty form. And her speaking voice is just 😍
Given what they're wearing and where they seem to be, I think this clip was filmed on the same day as this very nice interview...

I've just realized it's not complete. I have it on a bootleg and it's much longer - more than 15 minutes. Frida seems to be unusually quiet because her parts were edited out. I tried to find a complete version but had no luck... HOMETIME - well spotted! It is indeed the same day. Björn says at 1:04: "This morning we gave a satellite interview for Don Lane Show in Melbourne" |

Jesus! What a tangent Dick Clark went off on there. Step away from the mic, Alan Partridge!
