Mamma mia! ABBA Gold - Greatest Hits (Special Edition)

ABBA has never sounded or looked better than on the new CD+DVD package ABBA Gold - Greatest Hits (Special Edition) (Polydor/Polar/UMe), to be released December 7, 2010. Featuring all of the group’s hits and more--and the videos for each of them--this Special Edition package brings together 1992’s six times platinum ABBA Gold – Greatest Hits CD and its gold-certified homevideo companion of the same title, both newly remastered.

The CD, which as a stand-alone album has sold more than 28 million copies worldwide, embraces 19 classics including the gold #1 anthem “Dancing Queen”; #3 gold “Take A Chance On Me”; Top 10s “Waterloo” and “The Winner Takes It All”; Top 20s “SOS,” “Knowing Me, Knowing You,” “Fernando,” “Does Your Mother Know” and “The Name Of The Game,” and Top 40s “Mamma Mia” and “Chiquitita.”

The DVD features all 19 video clips, taking full advantage of the progress in digital technology since they were last remastered. Notably, most of ABBA’s videos were directed by Lasse Hallström, since acclaimed for such films as My Life As A Dog, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape and Chocolat. Also included are bonus selections in the form of “before-and-after” split-screen comparisons of five original film clips and their remastered versions. In addition, the DVD adds a recently discovered cartoon version of “Money, Money, Money,” circa 1977.
