For those who love Abba (and if you're reading this, chances are you do, even if you don't know it yet), ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits represents a happy, joyous compilation of 19 of the Swedish supergroup's numerous videos (it omits 13 that were on Abba: The Definitive Collection but adds 'Lay All Your Love on Me' and 'I Have a Dream'). Granted, they all seem to have been filmed on the same soundstage (even the firelit 'Fernando'), but they retain their appeal and infectious charm. Fans can thrill to these vintage clips, which provide an opportunity to rediscover who was the most natural in front of the camera (Agnetha), who was the best dancer (Anna-Frid, a.k.a. Frida), who was the most demure (Benny), and who was the worst lip-syncher (Bjorn--always Bjorn). Lassé Hallstrom, later an Oscar®-nominated filmmaker, directed most of the early videos, and it shows in their natural, no-fuss style; it wasn't until Abba tried to make the jump to '80s-style electronica that they faltered in both style and content. In addition to old standbys like 'Waterloo' and 'Take a Chance on Me,' there's a 25-minute historical documentary and a 1992 version of the 'Dancing Queen' video. To this we say: Thank you for the music--and the videos! --Mark Englehart

- Voulez-vous listen, avec moi?
Why I bought this tape: My father is a big fan of ABBA and we have the audio cassette tape for one of our vans (it has a standard-grade sound system) and the audio CD for our other van (that has a system one level above standard, and sounds really good to me). My father saw a brief clip of ABBA performing on television, and wanted to see more, so I bought the VHS version of ABBA Gold. While there is a DVD version, my father has a VHS player and no DVD player.

If you're unfamiliar with ABBA, Wikipedia has a good description of them. They are from Sweden, they were active from 1972 to 1982, their music was a mix of pop and disco, and the four members were: Benny Anderson, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Agnetha Faltskog (who married Bjorn Ulvaeus in 1971), and Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad.

I am the right age to have known ABBA in its early years, but I didn't. I've always been out of synchrony with music ... Read More

- Abba Gold
I have loved Abba music since I first heard it in the mid to late 70's. I started buying their CD's to play in my car. Mostly "Greatest Hits" I never get tired of listening to them. I would buy more videos but I don't want a lot of the same stuff on each one. I'd like to find some of the CD's or videos with some of their music that didn't make the top 10.

- ABBA Gold DVD video
The videos are a bit old compared to todays and there are places where the lipsink is not the best but the music is fantastic, the group if classic and the music is simple and pure. Magnificant voices and utter joy to an ABBA fan. Can't wait to go to Vegas and see Mamma Mia again and be a part of 3000 people singing all the ABBA classics with the performers on the stage. It is a great video.

- Pure Pop From Sweden!!!!
having owned the "Gold" cd i never saw most of the videos, but watching this dvd made me like the songs even more! the 4 members of abba are very entertaining, its funny to see the 70's clothes and how cheesy the concepts were for the early videos,the sound and video are great for there age, they can compete with dvds released today, if you like pure pop with unbelievable harmonies you cant go wrong with ABBA GOLD its even cheaper than the cd!!! (under $10!!!)
