all the band tracks and vocal performances were pre-recorded at Natec Sound Studios in Bligh Street Sydney. Its Audio Director was Max Alexander who also worked for Channel Nine. Bandstand had three producer-directors over its timespan. The original was Warwick Freeman who was responsible for its development and building its image. Second was Ray Newell who carried on the tradition. Brian C. Morelli took over in 1969 he returned the programme to live vocals and successfully produced the program on location including the Australiana Pioneer Village, Wilberforce NSW and in Singapore and Malaya, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl Melbourne for the King of the Pops Award night. He also instigated the Bandstand Awards. The categories were voted on by all of the Network stations, Australia wide, who transmitted Bandstand. As well, under Morelli's leadership, he continued the Junior Bandstand annual series and introduced a teenage series entitled Midi-Bandstand. The program continued until the final broadcast, with Henderson, on 17 June 1972. Attempted revivals An attempt was made in 1976, by the Nine Network, to revive the program with a new host, Daryl Somers as Bandstand ‘76. Its format was based on the BBC production, Top of the Pops, and ran for two years. The change in music tastes however gave this type of format a limited life. Morelli was engaged again for the 1976–1978 series, it was produced by the Reg Grundy group and featured popular music groups and soloists including former Six O'Clock Rock host, Johnny O'Keefe, as well as original Bandstand family members Laurel Lea and Little Pattie now known as Pattie Keith. Normie Rowe even performed on the 1970s modern version having returned from his service in Vietnam war that Daryl Somers was now the host for. New release international artists' promotional films were also integrated. The Swedish quartet ABBA, who were first introduced to Australia in 1975 by Molly Meldrum on Countdown, appeared on Bandstand in 1976 as part of the initial revival of Bandstand, ABBA were brought to Australia to film the Bandstand special The Best of ABBA. They also appeared on an episode of the program which was shown the week before the special went to air. This appearance included a short interview with Daryl Somers and a performance of "Mamma Mia".
