Upcoming ABBA releases – ABBA The Vinyls and ABBA Gold (2010) | icethesite

ABBA – The Vinyls (Released 6 Dec 2010)

A limited edition box set containing ABBA’s eight studio albums, originally released 1973–1981: Ring Ring, Waterloo, ABBA, Arrival, ABBA: The Album, Voulez Vous, Super Trouper and The Visitors.

The box set also contains a bonus album, entitled ABBA Tracks, the A-side of which contains the five single A-sides not included on the original studio albums. The B-side of ABBA Tracks features a further five non-album songs, personally selected by ABBA’s Benny Andersson.

Going back to the analogue master tapes for each individual album, as originally prepared by ABBA and their associates, the albums in the ABBA: THE VINYLS box set have been remastered for vinyl especially for this release.

The track listings of the albums mirror the original Swedish releases, as originally planned and conceived by ABBA. Similarly, the eight studio albums are presented in replica covers featuring the original art work and inner sleeves – exactly as they looked when they first hit record shops back in the ’70s and early ’80s.

ABBA Gold CD/DVD (UK release 06 Dec 2010)

ABBA’s greatest hits album ABBA Gold, which to date has sold more than 28 million copies worldwide, will be re-released in a brand new ABBA Gold CD/DVD Special Edition on November 29, 2010.

The CD features the latest remastered version of the album, while the DVD features newly remastered versions of all the video clips featured on the original DVD.

The DVD will also include bonus selections in the shape of “before-and-after” split-screen comparisons of five original film clips and the remastered versions of those clips. The new ABBA Gold DVD also features a recently discovered archive find: a cartoon version of ‘Money, Money, Money’, made circa 1977.

This very rare clip of ‘Money, Money, Money’ was made by the Australian production company Reg Grundy’s, but was only ever screened briefly during ABBA’s heyday and has never been seen in complete form since.

The remastering of the ABBA Gold video clips has been made by Cutting Room in Stockholm, Sweden, taking full advantage of the progress in digital technology since the clips were last remastered in 2002. You have never seen them like this before!

ABBA Gold Special Edition also features a brand new essay on the album by Elisabeth Vincentelli, author of the books ABBA Gold and ABBA Treasures.

The ABBA Gold CD/DVD Special Edition will be released in a so-called flip-tray with a slip case. The worldwide release date is November 29, 2010, although dates may vary from territory to territory (i.e. UK December 6, 2010).

However, this does not mean that the aspect ratio of the picture has been compromised – on the contrary you get more picture for your money, since the 4:3 frame shaves off some of the original 16mm picture. On the new DVD, the picture takes up more space on the screen, with \black bars\ on either side of the picture.\</p> <p>Now this sounds very interesting indeed, I always supposed 4:3 was the native format of the videos! Sad to see the DVD is released in the inferior NTSC format though, losing almost 20% of the vertical resolution, kind of ironic for something that’s just been restored like that… Guess we’ll have to put our hopes on a Blu-ray edition.</p> </div> </div> </div> </li> <li id="comment-8111" class="comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1"> <div class="comment_body" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/UserComments"> <div class="comment_metadata"> <span class="fn" itemprop="creator" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person">terry</span> <time>December 7, 2010</time> <span class="comment_reply"> </span> <span class="comment_edit"> </span> </div> <div class="comment_main f_box"> <div class="comment_avatar"> </div> <div class="comment_text" itemprop="commentText"> <p>Got the new Gold CD/DVD.
