THE DEFINITIVE ABBA STORY WITH ALL THE MAJOR MUSIC, COMMENTARY FROM THE BAND, AND NEW INTERVIEWS EXPLORING WHAT MAKES ABBA SO INCREDIBLY GOOD! ABBA FOREVER: The Winner Takes It All is the multi-Gold Award-winning, definitive up-to-date telling of the Abba story with all four members of the band in interviews and special sequences filmed with them, rare archive, and a feast of Abba songs. It starts with their pre-Abba careers, then the inside story of how they conquered Eurovision (first in Swedish, then in English), and then how they've continued to conquer the world several times over. We see them in performance and even going into the sound studio to discover how the Abba sound was created. We also explore Mamma Mia!, the stage hit, onstage and backstage. With Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, Agnetha Fältskog, Anni-Frid Lyngstad. Other guests include Bono (in interview and with U2 playing Dancing Queen onstage with Benny and Björn), Donny Osmond, Barbara Dickson, Neil Sedaka, Abba music engineer and wizard Michael Tretow (in interview and at the mixing board!), producer Pete Waterman, broadcaster Paul Gambaccini and more. Abba and the guests illuminate how the songs came about, how they evolved, and what makes them so incredibly good. Songs include: Mamma Mia! Dancing Queen Super Trouper Waterloo SOS Fernando Ring Ring Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight) Does Your Mother Know Knowing Me, Knowing You The Winner Takes It All Thank You For The Music The Day Before You Came I Know Him So Well (from 'Chess') Money Money Money

Not definitive, but still excellent
I loved all the clips of the pre-ABBA days and the early-ABBA days. I would have loved to see more of the post-ABBA days, including more Frida and Agnetha. Of course, if I would have been left to edit this, it would have ran at least 10 hours and played as a mini-series on PBS. But being realistic, sticking to the short format, this is very well done. It is so nice to see a tribute to ABBA that is not complete kitsch.

Ok I saw the 60 minute version on a special "Bravo" did on "where are they now". The video, "A Winner Takes It All" only adds 20 more minutes of input and seems to be more advertisement for the musical "Mama Mia". Everthing Agnetha says to this interview is regurgitated from her book, "As I Am". She speaks nothing more than what she wrote in that book. It was nice to hear what they had to say, but if you see a special running on a cable show on "where ABBA is" you can watch that and save your money from buying this video. If you want it as a collector's item, this this is a good addition.
