Overview: ABBA Forever: The Winner Takes It All is the story of the members of ABBA, from their first meeting 50 years ago up to today (well, 2019, to be precise).

Linking together songs, interviews and contributions from admirers and colleagues, this is the ultimate celebration of the Swedish supergroup.

Indeed, ABBA Forever: The Winner Takes It All is the definitive up-to-date telling of the ABBA story, with all four members of the band, interviews and special sequences filmed with them, rare archive, and a feast of ABBA songs.

Guests include costume designer Owe Sandstrom, producer Pete Waterman, broadcaster Paul Gambaccini, and ABBA engineer Michael Tretow.

DVD Verdict: In truth, and as I am sure you could have already guessed, this entire recording is a truly wonderful gift for ABBA fans, with interviews with Benny, Frida, Agnetha (albeit from afar, so to speak) and Bjorn as they look now, along with many of the people involved in the work behind ABBA down through the years.

It also contains a lot of extended clips of them singing, such as the original video of the presentation of the band singing Waterloo at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974.

Although not a video greatest hits package, especially as each song they start is interrupted by the band, who add their own narration of the story behind the song and such, it is still something that every ABBA fan should most definitely own.

Getting personal within the ranks, the band reveal a little more than they have perhaps before about the story of the band, inclusive of even touching on their divorces along with their own personal feelings about other stars and such (past and present).

ABBA even delve into some technical aspects about their music and the way they themselves approached the writing and recordings of some of their songs.

This production even showcases previously-unreleased images of the group on stage and in the studio, even on their own island where Benny and Bjorn created most of the songs!

In conclusion, ABBA Forever: The Winner Takes It All is an incredible addition to any fans’ collection and along with their just-released new album, well, what a time it is now to be an ABBA fan after all these quieter decades! This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.85:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs and comes with the Special Feature of an Original Theatrical Trailer.
