ABBA - Dancing Queen Recording Session (Mr Trendsetter, SVT, 1975) Swedish, with English subtitles

DANCING QUEEN RECORDING SESSION: In September 1975, Sveriges Radio produced a 30-minute documentary about Stig Anderson, entitled Mr Trendsetter. The programme, clearly biased against its controversial subject, was first broadcast in Sweden on December 3, 1975. By sheer luck, the production team accompanied Stig to the Metronome Studio, just as the vocals were recorded for what was to become ABBA's most famous song: 'Dancing Queen'.

Although the studio scenes mainly functioned to illustrate the "cynical factory-process" in Stig and ABBA's approach to music-making, today we must be thankful for the production team's diligence, for these scenes remain the only film ever shot of ABBA working in the studio. The scenes from the recording studio were spread out over the entire documentary, but have been edited together here to provide the viewer with as much footage as possible from this unique glimpse into ABBA's studio work. Also, it offers a rare chance to hear a verse that was subsequently edited out of the final version of 'Dancing Queen'.
