DVD Reviews of Abba Gold - Greatest Hits
DVD Review: Great sound, but visually impaired video clips
Summary: 3 Stars
Only the original 1992 CD version has been sold in the United States. Its edited versions of "Voulez-Vous" and "The Name of the Game" were replaced by the full original-length versions on the 1999 and subsequent re-releases. Instead of its 3 other songs, local ABBA hits appeared on the 1992 Australasian issue. "Chiquitita" and "Fernando" were sung in Spanish on the 1992 Spanish version.
The 1999 re-mastered CD Signature Issue had different track listings, the autographs, and new sleeve notes. The 10th Anniversary Edition re-release of 2002 included the ABBA logo written with the official font, a redesigned back cover, and the European track list. In 2003, 2xCD Special Edition with Bonus CD was released. In 2004, a CD/DVD Anniversary Edition (also available without DVD) was released in UK. It had a sleeve cover in gold rather than black. Its DVD included 18 of the 19 songs from the CD (except "The Name Of The Game") as video clips with excellent sound, but their picture was so dated, for ABBA's stiffness and lame showmanship in addition to a low quality of the image, that the clip use may not be much more than just for listening. The 2008 CD re-release was similar to the 2002 one.
The 2003 DVD included the same 19 songs as the CD, but in said visually impaired video clips, a 25 min. historical documentary, and the 1992 video "Dancing Queen".
Description of Abba Gold - Greatest Hits
Video of original ABBA group featuring their greatest hits, including: Dancing Queen, Knowing Me Knowing You, Take a Chance on Mo, Mamma Mia, Lay All Your Love On Me, Super Trouper, I have a Dream, The Winner Takes It All, Money Money Money, SOS, Chiquitia, Fernanco, Voulez-Vous, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight, Does Your Mother Know, One Of Us, The Name of the Game, Thank You For the Music, Waterloo - includes original inserts that came with DVD. In terrific shape.For those who love Abba (and if you're reading this, chances are you do, even if you don't know it yet), ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits represents a happy, joyous compilation of 19 of the Swedish supergroup's numerous videos (it omits 13 that were on Abba: The Definitive Collection but adds "Lay All Your Love on Me" and "I Have a Dream"). Granted, they all seem to have been filmed on the same soundstage (even the firelit "Fernando"), but they retain their appeal and infectious charm. Fans can thrill to these vintage clips, which provide an opportunity to rediscover who was the most natural in front of the camera (Agnetha), who was the best dancer (Anna-Frid, a.k.a. Frida), who was the most demure (Benny), and who was the worst lip-syncher (Bjorn--always Bjorn). Lassé Hallstrom, later an Oscar®-nominated filmmaker, directed most of the early videos, and it shows in their natural, no-fuss style; it wasn't until Abba tried to make the jump to '80s-style electronica that they faltered in both style and content. In addition to old standbys like "Waterloo" and "Take a Chance on Me," there's a 25-minute historical documentary and a 1992 version of the "Dancing Queen" video. To this we say: Thank you for the music--and the videos! --Mark Englehart
