BIO :
The acronym Abba, coined in 1973, represented the
coming together of four leading figures in Swedish
pop. Agnetha F ltskog (b. 5 April 1950, J nk ping,
Sweden) had achieved pop success in her country
with the 1968 hit "Jag Var Sa Kar" ("I Was So In
Love"). Bj rn Ulvaeus (b. 25 April 1945,
Gothenburg, Sweden) had previously appeared with
the folk-influenced Hootenanny Singers (originally
known as the Westbay Singers). They also recorded
and released a few records overseas as Northern
Lights, before teaming up with Benny Andersson (b.
G ran Bror Benny Andersson, 16 December 1946,
Stockholm, Sweden), appearing occasionally with his
popular beat group, the Hep Stars . The one
non-Swede in the line-up was the solo singer
Anni-Frid Synni-Lyngstad (b. 15 November 1945,
Narvik, Norway; later known as Frida ). Under the
guidance of Scandinavian svengali Stig Anderson (b.
Stikkan Anderson, 25 January 1931, Hova, Sweden, d.
12 September 1997), and following the break-up
of the Hep Stars in 1969, Ulvaeus and Andersson
joined forces for one album, Lycka. After its
release in 1970, the duo started working as house
producers at Stig Anderson's Polar record company.
Meanwhile, Ulvaeus continued to work with the
Hootenanny Singers in the studio only.
The marriage of Ulvaeus and F ltskog, followed
later by that of Andersson and Lyngstad, had laid
the romantic and musical foundations of the Abba
concept. An early single, "People Need Love",
reached number 17 in Sweden in June 1972. The
Eurovision Song Contest served as a backdrop to
their international ambitions and after Lyngstad's
tentative entry in the qualifying Swedish heats as
a soloist in 1971, the quartet, now known as Bj rn
& Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid, attempted to
represent their country with the infectious "Ring
Ring" in 1973. They succeeded the following April
as Abba, with the more polished and bouncy
"Waterloo", which not only won the contest, but
topped the UK charts and, amazingly, for a
Eurovision entry, infiltrated the US Top 10. The
middling success of the re-released "Ring Ring" and
singalong "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" provided
little indication of the chart domination that was
to follow. In September 1975, Abba returned with
the worldwide hit "SOS", a powerhouse pop
production highlighted by immaculately executed
counter-harmonies and an infectiously melodic
arrangement. These classic ingredients of the Abba
sound were ably evinced on their first trilogy of
UK chart-toppers "Mamma Mia", "Fernando" and
"Dancing Queen", which also found favour in
Australia and Germany, and just about every other
country in the world. The last also brought them
their only US number 1 and precipitated their rise
to pop superstardom with sales unmatched since the
golden age of the Beatles.
Firmly in control of their destinies, both on the
artistic and commercial fronts, the band undertook
a tour of Europe and Australia in 1977, most
remarkable for its extravagant use of costume, sets
and orchestration. Between 1977-1978 they
celebrated a second trilogy of UK chart-toppers
("Knowing Me, Knowing You", "The Name Of The Game"
and "Take A Chance On Me"), whose haunting grace
was enhanced by some of the finest promotional
videos of the period. Although Abba: The Movie
proved less memorable, there was no doubting their
commercial acumen. With international stardom
assured, they began the 80s with two more UK number
1s, "The Winner Takes It All" and "Super Trouper",
taking their UK chart-topping tally to an
impressive nine in a little over six years.
Although the dissolution of both marriages in the
band threatened their unity, they maintained a high
profile, not least on the international business
circuit where they eclipsed the car manufacturers
Volvo as Sweden's largest earners of foreign
currency during 1982. With little left to achieve
within their chosen genre, they elected to rest the
band that same year.
Agnetha and Anni-Frid (Frida) subsequently went
solo, but found chart success elusive. Bj rn and
Benny, meanwhile, concentrated on composing, and
enjoyed a productive relationship with Tim Rice,
culminating in London's West End musical Chess. In
1990 the Australian band Bjorn Again enjoyed some
success touring with a set composed entirely of
faithful Abba cover versions. In 1992 a
well-publicized 70s fashion and music boom gave
fuel to countless (misguided) rumours of an Abba
re-formation. Seven years later, Mamma Mia!, a
stage musical based on the songs of Abba, opened in
London to excellent reviews. A detailed and
revealing biography Bright Lights, Dark
Shadows: The Real Story Of Abba was published in
September 2001..

ALBUM NOTES AND CREDITS :
For those who love Abba (and if you're reading
this, chances are you do, even if you don't know it
yet), Abba: The Definitive Collection represents a
happy, joyous compilation of the Swedish
supergroup's numerous videos. Granted, they all
seem to have been filmed on the same soundstage
(even the firelit "Fernando"), but they retain
their appeal and infectious charm. Fans can thrill
to these vintage clips, which provide an
opportunity to rediscover who was the most natural
in front of the camera (Agnetha), who was the best
dancer (Anna-Frid, a.k.a. Frida), who was the most
demure (Benny), and who was the worst lip-syncher
(Bjorn--always Bjorn). Lass Hallstrom, later an
Oscar�-nominated filmmaker, directed most of the
early videos, and it shows in their natural,
no-fuss style; it wasn't until Abba tried to make
the jump to '80s-style electronica that they
faltered in both style and content. In addition to
old standbys like "Waterloo" and "Take a Chance on
Me," don't pass up the light-years-ahead-of-its
time "The Day Before You Came," or the live
performance of "Dancing Queen" (in period costume!)
at the Royal Swedish Opera. To this we say: Thank
you for the music--and the videos!
