Previously unseen footage of ABBA rehearsing Mamma Mia for their Bandstand appearance was broadcast in April 2004 as part of Channel 9's coverage of ABBA's 30th Anniversary and the fifth anniversary of the stage show "Mamma Mia!".
The footage was apparently originally rough snippets but has been edited together so the piece flows smoothly.
A smaller excerpt of the same footage was shown during a report on Channel 9 about ABBA Voyage and ABBA's ‘return’.
