ABBA – Number Ones

This extensive collection gives the die-hard Abba fan clips to 19 of their number 1 hits. They include Mama Mia, Dancing Queen, Super Trouper, S.O.S., Summer Night City, The Winner Takes It All, Chiquitita, One Of Us, Voulez-Vous, Fernando, Waterloo, The Name Of The Game, Take A Chance On Me, I Have A Dream, and the repetition hits Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight), Money Money Money, Ring Ring, Knowing Me Knowing You, and I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do.
Most videos were directed by Lasse Halström who went on to make movies. That classic profile pose is unforgettable, while some are just plain bizarre, like Benny dressed in total glam outfit with platform boots, cape and star shaped guitar (like a Kiss audition reject). This is pure history, and then those damn songs are still very good, though often instrumentally dated.

Extra features: TV performances from Top Of The Pops (’74), The Late Late Breakfast Show (’82), and Norway footage (’75).
There’s a scrapbook with single covers from around the world, number one charts and other chart spots around the world. Many songs also hit number 1 in South Africa and Zimbabwe. You get a 16 page booklet with covers of all the singles and info on the tracks & their videos.
