ABBA: The Definitive Collection

This deluxe collection of ABBA's music videos provides an interesting insight into the group's visual appeal (i.e., their clean-scrubbed, deliriously European look) by collecting their video output in one convenient package. Most of the clips were directed by Lasse Hallström and utilize the kind of snazzy, inventive cinematography and editing that would soon become hallmarks of most future music videos. All these clips in one place might be overkill for the casual fan, but ABBA: The Definitive Collection is a stylish and frequently engaging compendium that is well worth a look to anyone interested in the ABBA phenomenon.
