For CD:
New "geremastered" Masters of Audio especially for this edition. Since I've been all CDs in my treasure box, I compare the deluxe variant best with the "Complete Studio Recordings" - version from 2005. This was so far my absolute highlight in terms of transparency and "airiness". In the latest issue of more importance was attached to normality. No audible clipping or excessive volume. Rich and powerful sound raise all the songs in a sound garment, which has no equal. Astray - so ABBA fun!
The bonus tracks are probably all well known. The "suddenly emerged" master tape track "Dream World" without a fade in - intro is probably for collectors and hunters the pinnacle of audio CD. But do not panic: Spectacular but it is (unfortunately) not. Be surprised ...
For DVD:
Eagerly awaited, it is probably the main reason, the Deluxe - zuzulegen variant.
The main part (ABBA In Switzerland), however, not just shines with its image quality. This has at times a similar good quality as my be dusty in the closet for me VHS - cassette. Too bad. That it's better, the DVD demonstrates "ABBA In Japan" from last year. Sonics moves this on medium to good terrain - after all!
"Chiquitita (Music For UNICEF)":
Nice to have this piece of musical history has now been immortalized. But please: What are you doing here copy drawn (silly question)? Was there really nothing better in the world raise? The image is a smooth six. The sound is not original, but has been considered with the studio version (which it was already there), which was probably wise, since - when the original sound was so like the picture - then good night! Five star anyway for the rarity value.
"I Have A Dream (Extended Promo)":
Probably everyone knows already - but here extended by Children's Chorus - repeat sequence. WerŽs needs ... picture and sound are particularly underground, but a true fan knows and appreciate it.
"If It WasnŽt For The Night (Mike Yarwood Christmas Show)"
here, however, again the bearer. Class picture and good sound. So it is (see above). A treat for all those who want not only scurrying on You Tube.
"Chiquitita (Christmas Snow Time Special)":
Interestingly - because four musicians sit in a room with Ikea Ikea Wall and tinsel decorations. Dolle box!
About the "Björn & Benny interview" everyone will enjoy, has the young children and like to SAT 1 - watched morning show. Exciting questions and matching brilliant answers. This has collector value!
Finally, then still the usual trailers on this DVD to find plus the pretty to looking cover from around the world in the "Sleeve Gallery".
All in all, a successful DVD, the fun and joy of reunion is preparing - also wennŽs hitch here and there with the material. Probably Carl Magnus Palm could not conjure up here. His - and also the efforts of all contributors - give us again a little (ABBA) hard. Who would have ever thought 31 years ago: Voulez Vous? - Yes I will!!!
