"Eagle" was not a major success on the charts. One reason was that the song was already available on The Album, another was the limited release only in countries like Belgium (where it did top the charts), West Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Australia and some others. To make the song more radio-friendly it was heavily edited down from 5:51 to 4:25 by omitting an instrumental break and the third chorus. Australia and France even got an edit from the edit, with the song fading shortly after the second chorus making it last just 3:33, nearly 2:20 shorter than the album version. The single was promoted with a music video by La*se Hallstrom, while an earlier, much more interesting video in terms of special effects was included as a part of ABBA: The Movie. (Less)
