More Abba Gold

Summary: Você fala o Português?
Review: This is a Brazilian DVD. (My title means "Do you speak Portuguese?") The case notes and text in the "Extras" are in Portuguese. Info not currently (3/18/03) in Technical Info: Recording date 1993; aspect 1.33; duration 51 minutes; audio encoding Dolby 5.1 and 2.0 surround. The studio lists, Phantom Sound and Vision, does not appear on the case or disc. Instead "Musical Gold DVD 002" is on the spine. Also there are some other attributions in extremely fine print on the back.

It's ABBA all right. But the recording, evidently a collection of some of their music videos, is of indifferent quality. Washed-out color, soft focus, and unclear sound prevail. For me it adds immeasurably to the enjoyment and appreciation of their music to know the stories of the songs and the group itself. Those similarly interested should get the DVD "The Winner Takes It All - The ABBA Story."
