| New Benny Andersson Band CD! |
Benny Andersson Band-Story of a Heart, European CD July 6, 2009 (June 24 in Sweden) Also released in Australia
This is the first English language album
to be released by the Benny Anderssons Orkester who are retitled Benny Andersson Band for the purposes of international release.
This CD is mostly a compilation of previously recorded songs ranging back as far as 1987. Nine of the fourteen songs
are instrumentals. Four of the songs- “Fait Accompli”,“Our Last Dance”, “You Are My Man”, “
The Stars” feature never before released English language vocal tracks. The album features one totally new song
“Story of a Heart”, which is a Andersson-Ulvaeus song that is more ABBAesque than the usual
BAO stuff.

the band's first appearance in in Hampstead, Britain on July 4, 2009.

Chess-Live in Albert Hall, Release date Mid June 2009
There is also to be a single CD Highlights , a 2CD version and DVD version which are to be released
both in the United States and Europe. This concert version stars Josh Groban and was taped in 2008. This is yet another
reworking of the everchangable Andersson- Rice-Ulvaeus musical. This time Tim Rice took another go it, Bjorn and Benny dont'
appear to be involved, though they no doubt had a veto, if they did not like the project as a whole. It
also an attempt to issue a fairly complete verson of the musical, based on generally on the original London staging.
Here and there has changed a few lyrics, and a few of the songs make their debut on record. The album was recorded live,
and and as a result many of the performances sound a little shaky.

RECENT ABBA NEWS
Agnetha and Frida appeared together on January 22, 2009.
This is the first time since the end of ABBA that these two have showed up to an event as a duo
without having either Bjorn and Benny around. They appeared as a trio with Meryl Streep at the Swedish premiere
of the Mamma Mia movie , but Bjorn and Benny also made an appearance at that event.
The occasion for this rare joint appearence was the awarding of a lifetime achievement
award voted for by readers of Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet. The prize was given out at the annual Rockbjörnen awards
that were held at Cirkus venue in Stockholm. They also did a joint interview with The Aftonbladet for the occasion.

that came out , as well as a new box set of ABBA's studio albums. The new ABBA box set is called ...wait for it....
ABBA the Albums. Pretty stupid name if you ask me....
LATE 2008 news
Hell freezes over,
the apocalypse is near! ABBA hits Number One on the American Top 200 album charts. Of course, it's not really ABBA. Instead
the songs of ABBA finally hit the top spot through the vehicle of MAMMA MIA-the movie musical. The soundtrack to the
movie musical hit #1 over here in America. The soundtrack has been selling over hundred thousand copies a week here.
The irony here is that poor ABBA themselves never got any higher than #14 on the album charts in the USA with
any of their own albums.
ABBA tops the charts in the United Kingdom. Once again, ABBA GOLD has hit number
one on the British album charts.
At nearly 16 years of age, it is the oldest release ever to
top the album charts. This is ABBA GOLD's fifth separate stint at the top of the UK charts. ABBA Gold went to
number first in 1992, then three separate times in 1999, and finally once in 2008.
Original Cast Album-Mamma Mia, Tenth Anniversary Edition- Spring 2009..UK CD

2008 releases
2008 brought many new releases in the profitable Mamma Mia franchise, but little of genuine artistic
interest.
Josh Groban -A Collection December 1, 2008 Europe only
. A collection of Josh's best loved songs plus a bonus disc of Christmas songs from the No.1 US album "Noel".
This
album includes Josh's version of 'You Raise Me Up', the first version of the song to have become a major hit before it was
later covered by Westlife, 'Anthem', recorded for live as a special anniversary performance of Chess at the Royal Albert Hall,
however the song is expected to be released with the whole Royal Albert Hall concert in 2009. This set also included
'To Where You Are', that he performed before a global audience at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert.and features a
live version of 'Weeping' recorded with Soweto Gospel Choir at the Mandela Concert in Hyde Park.
Released ahead of Christmas, also features a second CD highlighting festive songs such as 'Silent
Night', 'Little Drummer Boy' and 'Ave Maria'. It does not have my favorite Groban track- his version of "Oh Holy Night".

Agnetha Fältskog-My Very Best, Columbia, October 8, 2008 Swedish 2CD
A 35 track hits compilation from Aggie. All the tracks are previously released. One CD features her Swedish tracks
from 1960's and the 1970's. The second CD features English language tracks from her post ABBA solo career (the exception
being the ABBA track -"The Winner Takes It All" ). The tracks are not sequenced in chronological order. The compilation
includes tracks from her 2004 solo album, My Coloring Book. Eyes of a woman is under represented
in favor of Wrap Your Arms Around Me. There are no track from her duet albums with her either of her children. The bluish
cover features a stunning photo of Aggie from the mid-1970's. There is something rather scary about
the idea that this album is celebrating 40+ years of the music of Aggie Fältskog. Equally scary is Aggie's duet with
Bjorn called -"Så här börjar kärlek".

ABBA-ABBA The Album Limited 180gram Remastered Vinyl LP, Universal,
July 8 , 2008
To help celebrate the 60th year of vinyl Universal is re-releasing 80 titles in vinyl. The first batch includes
ABBA -The album. Supposedly, Each album contains a voucher enabling the purchaser to download MP3 versions of
the songs within. Supposedly, the album replicates
the original packgaging. The disc is pressed on 180 gram (heavier than normal) virgin vinyl. No bonus tracks
of course, since they would not fit anyway.
Original Soundtrack Recording, Mamma Mia-Decca label 177 418-4 , International CD -July 2008
The movie soundtrack album was released in the summer, slightly before the release
of the movie, . The CD was released in Sweden and the UK on July 7, 2008 (and in the
US on July 8, 2008 ). This album actually went to #1 in the USA, and in many other places.The movie soundtrack
was actually more successful than the musical's original cast album, which has tended to sell at a slower pace
in most of the markets it had been released.
The music was recorded before the movie was filmed with the vocals sung by the original
actors in the movie. The musical backing tracks were newly recorded in February 2007 by Benny Andersson with
the help of three veterans of the original ABBA band ( Rutger Gunnarsson on bass, Lasse Wellander on guitar,
Per Lindvall on drums. An orchestra was used for parts of the backing track, and the chorus parts for the vocal tracks were
recorded by the Stockholm ensemble cast of Mamma Mia. Two songs that were in the original musical are not sung in the movie-
"Under Attack" and "Knowing Me, Knowing You" . "Knowing Me, Knowing You " has been replaced by "When All is Said And Done'
. For reasons not clear yet, the following songs are not included in the soundtrack album track listing -Overture / Prologue,
Chiquitita,Entr'Act, One Of Us, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, and Waterloo.
The main drawback of the album is that so many of the performers are actors first not singers, and
so most of the lead vocals are underwhelming. The vocal performances do have character though,.
Of course, even the best singers are not likely to improve on Frida or Agnetha' vocals, so instead the best
approach appears to be try something slightly different and that's what is sometimes tried here.
Originally there was also supposed to be a special two-disc version of the soundtrack .
The two disc version was to have included instrumental versions of songs that underscore the action in the movie, the
end credits medley and god knows what else, but this idea never came to fruition, perhaps simply due to quality control concerns.
Track listing-
1. Honey, Honey (Amanda Seyfried, Ashley Lilley & Rachel McDowall)
2. Money, Money, Money (Meryl Streep, Julie Walters & Christine Baranski)
3. Mamma Mia (Meryl Streep)
4. Dancing Queen (Meryl Streep, Julie Walters & Christine Baranski)

ABBA-Thank You For The Music, Universal 060251743234, International CD July 14,2008,
2008
The 66 track, 4-CD ABBA box set, has been re-released in a downsized format, in accordance with current
day box set packaging. The booklet has been redesigned with different photographs, and parts of the essays and
liner notes have been gently corrected and updated. Which means of course, that the booklet is shorter with fewer pictures. The
disc content remains exactly the same as it was in the original 1994 edition.
ABBA-ABBA Gold, Universal 060251724732, International CD June 2, 2008
This release features updated packaging for the often reissued seminal 1992 ABBA compilation. The
CD on this edition is now packaged in what is called the Super Jewel Box. You might ask what is
the Super Jewel Box? Super Jewel Boxes are made of crystal clear, high grade polystyrene and features
improvements to the old CD jewel case, such as a new and patented hub for one or two discs, rounded corners, stronger
hinges, an advanced locking clasp, visibility to graphics on all four spines, and increased durability.
The booklet has been slightly updated at the same time, and the CD supposedly features the latest remastered versions
of the same nineteen ABBA tracks. Certainly not worth tracking down, unless you have a thing about
throwing away your money.
ABBA- More Gold, Universal 060251724733, International CD June 2, 2008
This is a reissue of the 1993 release in updated packaging. This release has undergone another overhaul,
with revised liner notes, a re-designed booklet and a remastered CD. The track listing remains the same. According to ABBA-World
this CD was released in Germany 17 June; Australia 14 July; and in the UK 25 August.
You, the Living (Du Levande) Released on DVD in Sweden May 2008. UK DVD release planned for
July 2008
Another dark movie comedy by Swedish director, Roy Andersson, who also directed Songs from The Second Floor. Benny Andersson
is credited as the composer of the music to this film, though I have no info yet on what songs are used. This film stars :
Jessica Lundberg, Elisabet Helander,and Björn Englund.
FRIDA album rumors!!
Frida is said to be considering recording an album with Jon Lord, the former Deep Purple keyboardist who,
worked with her on one song on his last album..
2007 featured a new album by BAO and a few other releases,
but not as many as other recent years.
ABBA -THE MOVIE -Blue Ray version .....November 2007
The 1978 ABBA concert movie is now available in some territories on Blue Ray . This release appears to have the
bonus material found on the second disc of the original DVD released in 2005. Thus the 40 minute interview
with Bjorn, Benny and Lasse Hallstrom is included.
Original Cast -Mamma Mia (Korean Cast version), Universal Music DC9486/530 58-5 (South
Korea) , Korean CD Late November 28, 2007
This is the original cast album from the South Korean staging of Mamma Mia. the Korean version has played more
than 500 times in limited runs in Seoul, Daegu and Seongnam since 2004. Performers include Lee
Hakmin, Park Ji-il, Lee Jung-ryul, Lee Jungmi, Choi Jungwon , Sung Kiyoun , Lee Kyoungmi,
and Jon SookyungThe cast album was apparently recorded live and sung in the Korean language.

The Japanese released these two CD pack sets of ABBA's eight studio albums-Ring Ring/Waterloo, ABBA/Arrival,
The Album/Voulez-Vous,and Super Trouper/The Visitors. The four sets are released separately
and each CD appears to feature the 2002 remastered track listings, thus the CD's have the normal bonus tracks that you would
expect...
ABBA-ABBA's Visitors -British DVD planned release March 2007
A 51 minute video review of ABBA's last studio
album.
Interviews with Andrew Brown, Raphael Ravenscroft, Chris Salewicz,Jeff Rose and Louis Rogers . Ok, I have
only heard of one of those people,but that's ok. You would think this might be interesting to the ABBA fan, but as usual with
these unauthorized DVD things it somehow manages not to be interesting. They don't even talk about three of the songs on the
album-"Soldiers", "Like An Angel Passing Through My Room", "I Let The Music
Speak".
Performances featured include:
Summer Night City (live Dick Cavett)
Brief
clips of Waterloo (Eurovision) and Dancing Queen (Olivia)

box set
A new version of Universal's multi disc collection of all of ABBA's official studio recordings. This one is new but has
been actually made worse than the 2005 fluffy dice box version since -it no longer features the two bonus DVD's included
originally....
Also, the set no longer includes the lyrics booklet....granted most of the lyrics were not very good...But well,
the set still has the nine CD's and an exciting timeline booklet...And it still costs over 100 dollars to buy....

SNL - 1975 - 1976 -The Complete First Season -December 2006 8 DVD box set
Includes every episode of the classic first season that featured Chevy Chase, John Belushi and others. Thus this set includes
ABBA's appearance on NBC's Saturday Night on 15 November 1975, in a show hosted by Robert Klein. Their performance of SOS
is notorius for being lip-synched, but is still entertaining.
SNL shows and performances have been released and rerunned before, but usually not in their entirety, so this first time
that the complete show that ABBA performed on has been made available..
ABBA-Number Ones- November 2006- 2 CD International release
Yes, like the Beatles Elvis and the Bee Gees, ABBA's compilers have attempted to compile all
their number one hits on one cd...Of course, ABBA did not have enough number one hits in any one country to fill an entire
74 minute CD, only the Beatles can come close to making that sort of claim..So instead this CD must
compiled on the idea that all or most of the songs on the first CD were a #1 chart hit somewhere on some
kind of chart....The second CD is limited edition bonus CD with some extra previously released tracks.
For some reason the UK released a different so called standard version which includes "Ring
Ring"and "Summer Night City" (extended version) .

Rajaton with the Lahti Symphony Orchestra: Rajaton Sings ABBA November 2006 CD
This very fab and stylish Finnish acapella vocal group performs
ABBA covers on this album.
Rajaton consists of Essi Wuorela (soprano), Virpi Moskari (soprano), Soila Sariola (alto), Jussi Chydenius
(bass), Hannu Lepola (tenor), and Ahti Paunu (baritone).
So that would be - three woman and three men singers
sort of like an adult Finnish Brady Bunch.....This CD is released by the amazing Plastinka label.
Originally, Plastinka was just a plastics company, but in recent times Plastinka has branched out into music and fine stemware.
Visit their lovely factory in Turku and you will get a autographed CD from Rajaton.
Ah Finland- I kind would like to be in Finland now, somewhere up in Lapland in a small cottage
with a reindeer. (Review by Edsel Felpin)

Elaine Paige -Essential musicals - October 2006 British CD
I was going to list this as "Another album of tired old show tunes" but I remembered that a few people do actually
read this site -and that I would not want to mislead those readers.
The songs here are chosen from musicals picked by listeners of Elaine Paige's weekly BBC radio
series..
This cd Includes, for the first time on record, Elaine's version of "Someone Else's Story" from CHESS. Sadly, it's
a somewhat lackluster unemotional performance of “Someone Else’s Story” . Elaine also tackles “You Must Love Me” from the movie
version of “Evita”. Elaine was the original West End Evita ,but also
never did this song before, and it also a so-so performance.

3. Hopelessly Devoted To You

5. Bring Him Home

Decca Broadway offers up this CD/DVD which includes another repackaging of the original 1999

"Mamma Mia", "Dancing Queen" and "Waterloo."
There is also a deluxe booklet featuring cast photos, a behind-the scenes-documentary hosted by original Broadway
cast members Joe Machota and Tina Maddigan, some opening night footage, interviews with producer Judy Craymer (lord help us)
, director Phyllida Lloyd (augh) librettist Catherine Johnson (my god) and the two old bearded guys, Benny Andersson and Björn
Ulvaeus (double augh!). The DVD has some previously seen ABBA concert clips and performance footage of different productions
of the show from around the world. The interviews with Bjorn and Benny are minimal and the whole package is not worth getting
if you already own the original cast album.

Annie Sofie Von Otter-I
Let The Music Speak, Deutsche Grammophone DG 477 9701 , International CD August 20, 2006
Sofie's new CD covers the full spectrum of the Benny Andersson/Bjorn Ulvaeus songbook from early ABBA through Chess, Kristina
and finally to the BAO. This album includes three new English lyrics of songs originally recorded in Swedish. Two of these
songs ("Walk with You Mama, and Butterlfy Wings " )are Bjorn's first new released English language lyrics in a long time.
The third new English translation is a transltion of "Efter Regnet" called as one would expect "after the Rain" ,the new
lyric is by the original lyrist Mats Norklit.
Benny Andersson is pictured in the liner notes and he looks like a old
man, and he manages to plays piano on two tracks -"Walk With You, Mama"and " After the Rain". Benny's friends -Anders Eljas
(piano, arrangements) and Kalle Moreaus (banjo) also play on the CD. The recordings were actually made in September 2004 at
the the Atlantis Studios (the studio often used by ABBA that was formerly known as Metronome studios. .) The album was produced
by George Wadenius , who also plays on most of the tracks. The release was delayed partly because Anne's busy schedule as
operatic singer did not allow proper time to promote the album in 2005.
As fascinating as the selection of songs is. I am not sure that Anne's voice is ideal for some of these songs.... Still
"Walk With You, Mama" works as do a few other tracks. Benny is pictured in the liner notes and he looks like a old man....
ABBA fans are starting to call Anne "Sofie the otter" .They named a new otter pup at the Stockholm aquarium after her,
the other one they called Bjorn!

ABBA Ringtones Mid 2006
Snippets from 16 ABBA hits (if I counted correctly) are being made available as ringtones by
Universal Music Mobile and its telecom partners,
including Vodafone, SFR, Orange, T-Mobile, DoCoMo, KDDI and other telecom operators..
The Universal press release says that "Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus were personally involved
in the selection of the realtones"-well that's reassuring, I would guess were not going to see any "Just Like that'
ringtones sneaking out.
The newly available ABBA mobile phone ringtones, include " Waterloo," "Super Trouper," "Money, Money, Money," "Fernando," "Knowing Me,
Knowing You," "Voulez-Vous," "Does Your Mother Know," "Honey Honey," "Take A Chance On Me," "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do,"
and "Thank You For The Music." "Ring Ring," "Mamma Mia," "SOS," "Dancing Queen" and "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight).".
These ringtones are lifted from the actual masters and thus are "realtones" not sythesized ringtones
Florence-FEEL Mid 2006 Swedish CD
A New album produced by Benny Andersson and released on Mono
records.
The group is a female trio that takes it name from
the CHESS character, Florence Vassey. The ladies in the group are Benny
Andersson's daughter-in-law Lisa Östberg and her friends Anna Granath and Sara Jangfeldt. They all sung in the Swedish version
of Mamma Mia. . .
Both Benny and Ludvig Andersson play on this CD..
The album does not include any new Benny Andersson songs.

Abba: The world's greatest albums-ABBA The Gold
Singles -(The ultimate critical review) UK DVD May 2006
This is a unofficial documentary that is loosely about the songs found on ABBA Gold-the program
includes some rare TV clips...
Quoted verbatim from the jacket-"The story behind Abba's Gold, one of the greatest pop albums
ever made. Drawing on rare Abba performances from TV and film archives around the world, this is the first ever independent
film review of Abba Gold. The film draws on the reflections of a team of leading critics, musicologists and working musicians
to produce the most authoritative and comprehensive review of a landmark in popular music." Ok I like, ABBA too, but
the ABBA Gold album just annoys me ....

2005 RELEASES
Frida -4XCD 1XDVD Box Set December 2005 Swedish CD/ DVD set
FRIDA -FRIDA THE DVD 1967-2005 DVD December 2005 (released seperately and
as part of the box set)
Here is a box set that includes Frida's three 2005 remastered solo albums
(Frida Ensam, Somethings Going
on, and Shine as well as Djupa andetag .. plus a DVD of video material...
The Cd's are nice to have I suppose, if you don't have them already, but a real box set with more genuine rarities would
be more interesting...About 10 of Frida's official recordings (mostly duets ) from 1972-1996 have not been included on
the Cd portion of this box set.
However, the DVD is of considerable interest, and has also been made available separately. The DVD is called FRIDA THE
DVD 1967-2005. The DVD features an exclusive interview with Frida that was shot in the summer of 2005, in Switzerland with
the Matterhorn in the background (must be nice). Frida chats chats, chats... about Agnetha, ABBA reunions, her career, Phil
Collins , and her taste for small gummy bears . She also shows us clips from Swedish TV and most of the videos from her solo
career.. Many of the videos are rare and have not been seen by most ABBA fans....Both the CD's and DVD omit her little 1992
mini-comeback -"Saltwater", "Anglamark", and the never released charity concert that featured "What a Wonderful World" with
Marie Fredriksson . The clips from Lite Grand I örat TV show are not from the original master
tapes and thus are of poor quality. Frida's friend Dan Daniell is also interviewed. The complete "The Making of
Something's Going On.and "Mit I Livet" TV specials are included.
The DVD has subtitles with subtitles in French, German, Spanish, English and Portuguese. and is coded for viewing in all
regions and runs three hours and twenty minutes. Frida's DVD is easily the most rewarding and unexpected of the various 2005
ABBA reissues and collections...Have a gummy bear, they are yummy!
Editor's note: the gummi-bear segment might not be included in your copy.

ABBA-LA NOSTRA STORIA - 20 GRANDI SUCCESSI" Late 2005 Italian CD
Another unexciting compilation this time for the Italian -markert. ABBA releases-are somewhat unusual
in Italy since ABBA was never huge in Italy..(ABBA never even had a #1 single in Italy) .All the songs are
in English since ABBA never recorded in Italian. Unexciting packaging, but there are twenty songs....
1. Waterloo 2. Mamma mia 3. Dancing queen 4. Sos 5. Fernando 6. Super trouper 7. Gimme! gimme!
gimme! (a man after midnight) 8. Take a chance on me 9. Knowing me, knowing you 10. Money, money, money 11.
When all is said and done 12. Voulez-vous 13. On and on and on 14. Lay all your love on me 15. The winner
takes it all 16. Chiquitita 17. Honey, honey 18. People need love 19. Ring ring 20. I have a dream

Benny Andersson- Ring tone for the Swedish Red Cross November 2005
Benny wrote a 28 second ring tone for the Swedish Red Cross, it is only available for download
in Sweden....the title of the song is "Red X-mas"...
Daniel Balavoine-Balavoine Sans Frontieres French 2cd set Late 2005
This set includes Frida 's hard to find duet with the late Daniel Balavoine called "Belle" and " Dieu que c'est beau" which
has backing vocals by Frida..."Belle" is from "ABBA-Cadabra". The song is not available on any Frida albums...Frida stuck
quite a friendship with Balavoine in 1983. All the other songs are in French... Source:ABBAMAIL
MADONNA-Hung Up CD single November 2005 international release
This single went to number one in Britain..and actually reached #7 in the US. ..Madonna samples
the 1979 ABBA single "Gimme Gimme Gimme on this song. This is only the second song to officially use an ABBA song
sample... Madonna gave B&B songwriting credit...thus the writers of the song are listed as Madonna, Stuart Price,
Benny Andersson, and Björn Ulvaeus . The CD single features remixes...

MADONNA-Confessions on a Dance Floor November 2005 International CD
Madonna's latest CD features"Hung Up". "Hung Up" samples ABBA's "Gimme Gimme Gimme". She did this with Bjorn
and Benny's approval...(They got songwriting credit as well.)
The rest of the album is also dance orientated, rather than ballads or covers of "American Pie"... The album
is mildly controversial because of the track "Issac" offends some listeners...This album reached #1 on the American sales
charts..Both "Hung Up" and "Sorry" reached #1 on the British charts...Track listing follows...
1. Hung Up 2. Get Together 3. Sorry 4. Future Lovers 5. I Love New York 6. Let It Will
Be 7. Forbidden Love 8. Jump 9. How High 10. Isaac 11. Push 12. Like It Or Not

Gemini - Det bästa med Karin och Anders Glenmark Swedish Cd November 1987
In English the title reads Gemini - The Best Of Karin And Anders Glenmark", but you knew that...This is the oft-promised Gemini collection that compiles seven songs each from their two 1980s albums. Both of these albums are hard to find. Both of the albums were coproduced by Bjorn, Benny and Anders Glenmark..Rumours
had been that this collection would have bonus tracks, and those rumours were correct...There are five tracks not found on
the two original albums...a Gemini b-side, one unreleased track,one new recording, and a single recorded before
the two Gemini albums.. ( The the Anders solo track-"Antiligen" was removed from the final track listing for the
CD..

ABBA-The Complete Studio Recordings 9CD/DVD Planned Release mainly in Europe November 7, 2005
| ABBA-The Complete Studio Recordings 9CD/DVD Planned Release November
7, 2005 |
|
Following the example of last year's Japanese box set, Polar /Universal have put together a new "complete'
box set.This is the first internationally released box set to compile all of ABBA's studio albums... The roomy blue box contains
9 Cd's, 2 DVd and two hard back booklets. One of the books has lyrics , the other has commentary, and liner notes. The
DVD's are NTSC standard...
The audio component features most of ABBA's released recordings including all eight studio albums, b-sides,
foreign language recordings, most alternate mixes as well as the rarities that were released after ABBA broke up... The set
has four alternate mixes new to Cd- the mono mix of "ON and On And On" previously heard only on videos,"Should
I laugh or Cry " has Benny counting it in the beginning, Waterloo is Swedish single mix and Summer Night City is
the correct full length version rather than a patched together version...
This set is the first to include Spanish versions as bonus tracks on every one of the eight studio albums.
The major
exclusion here is of course, ABBA's live album and the half or dozen other officially released live tracks..But they
are not "STUDIO' recordings.
Naturally, unreleased studio recordings (like the full version of "Just Like That
" or "Nationsang' ) have been not included here either.. Nor does one find private releases like "Sang to Gorel', "Fanfare
for a Ice Hockey Championship".
The DVD set features basically a repackaged version of THE DEFINITIVE Collection DVD set on the first DVD. The
recent "OUR LAST VIDEO' puppet video is included as a bonus.
A history of ABBA (originally found on the ABBA GOLD DVD and a short version of the 1981 DICK CAVETT
TV special concert is on the second DVD.
There have been complaints from fans that the Dick Cavett segment only has five
of the originally aired nine songs-Supposedly, they cant find the other four songs in the archives.
Annoyingly, this will
be llimited edition release...So it may not be around forever...

September 2005 release , Also released in single DVD version(also widescreen) This will be playable on all dvd regions.
The 2DVD set does not appear to available everywhere...
Finally a re-release of ABBA-The Movie. ABBA's 1977 cinema theatre release.
It has never released on DVD.
It had out of print on video...
The Movie (if you didn't know) is largely a concert film with an
amusing if thin story about a Australian dj trying to interview ABBA. The film is directed by Lasse Hallström. Lasse
was the director of most of ABBA's videos and would later go on to direct My Life is a Dog, Cider
House Rules and many other films.
There are two versions of the movie.The single dvd version has no extras.
The 2 DVD version has the film on one disc and bonus features on the second disc. The bonus features are an interview
about the film with Lasse Hallström, Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, the original ABBA - The Movie trailers; an ABBA
- The Album TV commercial and a picture gallery. Apparently, there were no live outtakes available.
Fan experts
say there is more that could be included . There has been a delay in release in the USA....Their was controversy
over whether Warner (who had he original American movie rights) had the right to release the DVD....However, The single
DVD version is available in Canada...and the single DVD will made available in the Us in 2006.

ABBA -ABBA 18 Hits Swedish CD May 2005
This is a new Swedish markert only compilation which features all four of ABBA tracks in Swedish
as well as 14 other hits... Apparently this CD sort of replaces the 1990's out of print Polar Music compilation called PA
SVENSKA which is the only previous CD to have all four Swedish language ABBA tracks....PA SVENSKA is better cos it had harder
to find solo tracks .
A international release of this was issued in August 2005 with a different track listing...

The Swedish cast version- Mamma Mia Swedish June 2005
Remarkably, or not Mamma Mia had yet to be staged in Sweden, prior
to 2005, so here it comes, in a Swedish language version ... ABBA originally only translated a hand full of their songs into
Swedish-so this will be the first time many of the songs (especially the later ones) have been presented in the Swedish language...The
Swedish version of the song lyrics were written by Niklas Strömstedt along with Bjorn. Peter Dalle translated the
spoken parts in "Mamma Mia" into Swedish. The musical premiered at Stockholm's Cirkus in Stockholm in February 2005. Both
Bjorn and Benny had some involvement with this production. Mamma Mia! is a Mono Music AB production will be
released by Universal Music In Sweden only !
...in June 2005...

Agnetha's
first five Solo studio albums as part of box set as well as with a bonus disc of non-album tracks. All these albums are in
Swedish, but they have the advantage of including many songs written or cowritten by Agnetha,,
Includes six CD's and a 40 page booklet.. the Cd's are in sleeves not jewel
boxes.. The booklet is in English and Swedish. This covers her recordings on Cupol Records. the original front and back covers
of each Lp are featured. The sound quality is Ok except on Agnetha's first album (they still haven't found all the original
masters for that album. The first two of her solo albums (AGNETHA FALTSKOG & AGNETHA FALTSKOG
vol. 2) had been issued on CD before but, Agnetha's third(SOM JAG AR) fourth (Nar En Vackar Tanke Blir En Sang), and fifth
(Elva Kvinnor I Ett Hus) solo albums had never been treleased on CD prior to now. So far you still can not get those last
three individually on Cd.
Agnetha's third, fourth, and fifth solo studio albums had not been released on CD prior to this box set .This is
probably worth buying if you like Agnetha and dont have My Love, MY LIFE already...BONUS CD TRACK LISTING...

ABBA-The DEFINiTIVE COLLECTION -SOUND AND VISION 2004
This combines the 2CD's of the Definitive Collection with the DVD of the same name....
ABBA-IN CONCERT ---DVD Released 2004
This is a documentary of the 1979 ABBA tour of North America& Europe directed by Swedish Tv pro -Urban Lasson. It mostly
features musical segments from the concerts, but also documents life on the road for ABBA as well as a seemingly endless series
of segments with roller skaters.....It has been shown before on TV (back in 1980) and been out on video, but had not been
available recently... The main body of the original TV special included twelve songs- all but one of which could found in
original studio versions on either the Greatest Hits Volume 2 or Voulez-Vous. Some Fans have objected that the performances
of the songs are edited-but while not complete most the song segments are relativley long. Apparently, the camera did not
actually film complete shows-so in many cases the songs were not filmed in their entirety. A few of the songs benefit from
live presentation notably -"Summer Night City" and "I Have A dream" wheras some of ABBA's best songs -"Waterloo", "Dancing
Queen" , and "Knowing Me, Knowing You" do not come off as well in live performances. .. This DVD new version features two
songs not included on the original home video-The Way Old Friends Do and Thank You For The Music, as well as the full version
of "I have A Dream" which was widely used previously as the official promo clip for that song.../. "The Way Old Friends DO"
is easily the best moment of the film and seems strange that if was left out of some of the 1979-1980 versions of the TV special
as,well on off the original home video released in 1980. This performance orginates from 1979 ABBA's concerts' at London's
Wembley Stadium in one of the last important concert of their careers..(though they did not know it at time.) The song features
Benny on accordion and the all the group singing. It almost borders on spontaniety, almost seems genuinely emotional , both
of which were qualities in short supply for ABBA when performing live...At one point Lasson chooses a great back shot of the
group which really gives one a sense that yes, we are looking at music legends.... I think that in general that Lasson did
a good job on this special.. Some listeners have complained about the sound quality, which I cant comment on because i have
not heard the DVD in 5.1 sound but I didnt really notice bad sound quality... The DVD features informative Interviews with
ABBA's tour promoter, Thomas Johannson, and the film's director Urban Lasson and a Fully illustrated booklet with an essay
by Carl Magnum Palm.. . This is the first time this title has been released on DVD. This is the fourth official ABBA product
to be released on DVD... 1.Waterloo 2.Eagle 3.Take A Chance On Me 4.Voulez Vous 5.Chiquitita 6.I Have A Dream 7.Gimme! Gimme!
Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) 8.Knowing Me, Knowing You 9.Summer Night City 10.Dancing Queen 11.Does Your Mother Know 12.Hole

 ABBA-Our Last Video- July 2004 International DVD/video
release
ABBA thought to have some minor reunion
to mark the 30th anniversary of their Eurovision breakthough A near reunion nearly occured at the fifth anniversary performance
of Mammia Mia in London's West End. It was hoped that Agnetha might induced to come out of hiding due to the need to promote
her album. Instead only Bjorn , Benny and Frida showed up, on stage in a semi-reunion. Frida had attended performances before
but had never gotten up on stage with B&B before....
All four members of ABBA finally agreed to appear briefly and
separately in a short but clever and entertaining video clip broadcast during the 2004 Eurovision song contest...It originally
been hoped that the four members might agree to make a non-singing appearence together, but instead this near reunion was
agreed to....The video features ABBA puppets and ABBA song references, The Dvd features the video , a making of the video
segment, and some of the full original ABBA videos that were mentioned in the "Our FINAL VIDEO."
Benny Andersson's Orkester-BAO! June 2004 Swedish CD.

" Midnattsdans". Midnattsdans" is a duet featuring Helen Sjoholm and Kalle Moreaus.

AGNETHA Faltskog -My Coloring Book International
CD release April 2004

and Cilla Black. . The album is being produced by Anders Neglin and Dan Strömkvist. "If I Thought You'd Ever Change Your Mind"
has been released as the leadoff single.. Prior to this album.,Agnetha didnt have much opportunity to do too many covers of
classic 1960's pop music during her solo career because most of her material was newly written for her solo albums... The
title of the album is after a song by John Kander and Fred Ebb. Like Agnetha's last couple of studio's album, this album will
be released on the Warner Music label. This album has been released internationally.The sales for this album were
intially quite good but dropped off quickly.
