Did anyone get this? If so, can you post a review?

Thanks,
Matt

Yes, the dvd has every ABBA music video with remastered picture and sound. I just ordered it and I can't wait. I also heard that the movie and a live concert dvd are due out sometime next year. I absolutely can't wait for them

I just watched 10 of the clips. (There are 30, plus 5 bonus tracks.)

Since they used the original negatives to make the DVD, the picture quality is probably as good as it's ever going to get. (Remember that most of these clips were made very cheaply back in the 70's. Many probably looked pretty "rough" even when brand new.)

The 24-bit sound is sensational. Lots of depth and clarity. I heard things (lyrics, vocals, instruments) which I hadn't heard before.

This disc is a must for ABBA fans!

Love that movie and love ABBA.

Every time I hear "Dancing Queen", all is right with the world...

And, um, gotta pick up that Definitive ABBA DVD.
