ABBA The Reunion - ITV changed the title to get more people to tune in I suppose, all that marketing! - but it still came up with the regular title during breaks Super Troupers 30 years of ABBA so we fans always knew it was the DVD release, who knows after last night there could be a rush on ABBA releases. And see the Abbagirls too!
Frida looked stunning and it was wonderful to hear what she had to say, Agnetha spoke in a mixture of Swedish & English and got a plug in for her album. There were one or two video clips that i loved in A1 condition - better than what I have in my video collection - and overall it made a great nights viewing. One or two contradictions but nothing significant. I did love the People need love clip and the Made in Sweden clip too of Mamma Mia.
The only downside, Pete Waterman. Several years ago he referred to ABBA being a manufactured band and that Stig decide to put 2 boys & 2 girls together. And that comment put me off him forever as a person.
Anyone else see the TV special? Would love to read your comments. The DVD release of the special has an extra 30 minutes footage.
By the way I have some ABBA items that I'm selling. If you want to receive a list please e-mail me personally
