Agnetha Fältskog THE LAST TIME EXTENDED MENDELSOHN REMIX 12" VIDEO

Here you can see "The Last Time" extended Mendelsohn Remix video.




I used the video for the song, but as the video and the 12" extended version are different lengths and of course different instrumentation, I had to do a lot of editing to make the video fit the "dance mix". ENJOY!

Agnetha Fältskog LET IT SHINE EXTENDED 12" VIDEO REMIX

Here is a new video I have done for Let It Shine, This is my favourite 12" version from her "I Stand Alone" album from the 80's.



The video is taken from the 7" single release, edited to fit the 12" club version, sound was equalised, some parts of "I Wasn't The One" video inserted at the beginning, the 12" "break" is inserted with edited clips from various parts of the video and a still picture of Agnetha in her "krimped" hair style look at the abrupt ending. The video lasts 5 mins and 19 seconds.

PLAYING TIP: Allow the video to load at least half way with the red slider moved across to over 50% or the video will stop playing, this is because the YouTube settings cannot keep up with the High Definition settings used for the video. I added the video at highest possible settings so you can see & hear the full effect of the video. Another tip is to click the video then click on pause and wait for the red slider to move along enough for the video to play. playing catch up. Once fully loaded it can be played once more as long as you remain in this browser.

:-)

Hope you enjoy

FRIDA - SHINE 12" EXTENDED MIX VIDEO

A full version of the 12" version of Shine, using the 7" video version with "inserted" parts to match the audio of the 12" single. Hours of work and I think it turned out very well indeed! ENJOY!

FOR FRIDA FANS!



For all fans of Frida, this DVD can supplement the recent Shine CD release.

Styled to match the CD, the DVD has Shine 12" Extended Video which can be seen in a post below, the Twist In The Dark promotional video now in stereo which was not included on Frida-The DVD, One Little Lie with remastered Dolby Stereo Sound, Come To Me (I Am Woman) video from a guest appearance on a pop show, Heart Of The Country remastered to Dolby Digital Stereo and the shorter 7" video version of Shine, also remastered to Dolby Digital Stereo sound.

The DVD label also matches the recent CD release.

DANCING QUEEN WITH THE FAMOUS LOST LYRIC CORRECTLY AND SEAMLESSLY ADDED IN CORRECT PART OF THE SONG!



An example of a clip on REVISITED 3 DVD: Dancing Queen "Lost Lyric" video.

Here it is in an edited shorter form, but shows how the "lost lyric" has been insterted into the video by me using very complicated and sometimes truly difficult techniques!

As the inserted lyric was in mono, I had to use a "sample loop" taken from the opening bars of the stereo song and under lay the "sample" under the insterted mono to make the whole clip sound the same, giving the "shimmy shimmy" effect throughout the song.

Although not perfect, this was added to retain a stereo effect under the mono insert. If this was left out, the complete song would be subject to "stereo drop out" where the interted part is used, so it was a trade off.

As you see and hear, this may well be the closest we ever get to seeing or hearing this classic ABBA song in a full form, which alas was never released on CD or video! So treat yourself to REVISITED 3, One Night In Bangkok video with Benny, Bjorn & Frida on backing! The Take A Chance On Me Star Parade edit with a shortened version of the song and "cold ending"! The Voulez-Vous from Spain where the girls are wearing those slinky lycra numbers! REVISITED 3 also has a snippet of the rare "Money Money Money" cartoon, which again, is not available anywhere else! All in glorious dolby digital stereo!

ABBA IN SWITZERLAND-NOW TWO VERSIONS AVAILABLE





ABBA IN SWITZERLAND DVD

Now, two versions available, the DVD with both mono AND stereo soundtracks or a version with higher picture settings of 9586 kbps with stereo soundtrack only, the mono removed. New updated DVDs now have a bonus Chiquitita video track from "Snowtime". ABBA in a Swiss coffee shop sat at a table.

The VIDEO CLIP above is a "Blended" video made up of the original "early version" ABBA performed on ABBA In Switzerland. If you listen carefully, you can hear the original mono mix under laid with a stereo "remix", blended together for some fun. (Not on the DVD), loaded here just for fun.

The DVD features the 1979 show in full, with two completely independent soundtracks. All music on one soundtrack is now stereo with the mono original soundtrack retained on the second separate soundtrack if one prefers to listen in 1979 mode!!

ABBA, Kate Bush and Roxy Music songs can now be fully appreciated in stereo. The only remaining mono segments on this brand new soundtrack, are the opening dancers and any spoken parts during the show.

The DVD plays the new stereo soundtrack as "default" on first playing the DVD, however, if you wish to switch over to the originally transmitted mono sound, you can do so by using your DVD controller. Stereo sound is set to Audio 1/2 level and the mono sound is set to 2/2 level. The show is fully chaptered at relevant start points to all the songs. Click on the picture above to see details of tracks and chapter points. Also added is a bonus slide show using a "Does Your Mother Know" DJ remix as soundtrack and many, many lovely pictures taken of ABBA during the shooting of the show in Leysin Switzerland.

ABBA IN POLAND - COVER SHOT-FANTASTIC CLARITY OF PICTURE!




uniqueabba@googlemail.com

ABBA IN POLAND , the whole show from when Benny, Bjorn and Frida fly out to Poland to meet Agnetha right until their departure from Poland. Why was this show not included on "DeLuxe Arrival"? It seems so perfect for inclusion of the recent DVD release!

Email for enquiries as to the offer: uniqueabba@googlemail.com

CLARIFICATION OF STATUS OF SOUNDTRACK FROM COMMENTS RECEIVED REGARDING MONO TO STEREO SOUND:

As this show contains all music performed to "live playback", ie: The group lip synched to the studio version of the songs, the mono sound only remains for any spoken parts, applause etc, when a song begins it is overdubbed by stereo, the mono then fades away to leave a 100% stereo rendition of the song, and at the end once again overlaps from stereo to mono applause.


I had two source tapes of the show, one with excellent picture but awful sound, the other with good sound and awful picture, so I have taken the best of both and married them together to get excellent sound and picture (with absolutely NO TV Station ID in corner of the screen.

The stereo soundtrack overlaps from mono applause and spoken word to the digital stereo surround music, therefore seeming seamless. A technique I used extensively on the REVISITED DVDs etc (Listed below this entry). The results are lovely!

I have also added a "First Play" slide show, this plays first when inserting the DVD into the player, some nice "Arrival" period pictures to the soundtrack of "Arrival", then the DVD goes to another menu screen where you can select to play the ABBA In Poland show in its entirity.




I also added chapter points at the relevant starts of each song performed. At the end the show ends with "Arrival" so rather than fade this out when the credits end, I continued with a few more pictures like a slideshow again to end the track at the correct ending place. Therefore the show runs for approximately 48 or 49 minutes.

RESULTS ARE STUNNING!

AGNETHA FÄLTSKOG - CAN'T SHAKE LOOSE LATE LATE BREAKFAST SHOW 1983 WITH GOLDEN EGG BLOOPERS!

A very funny clip from my own video collection. Recorded in Betamax video (remember that!?), transferred to VHS in the late 80's, restored and transferred to DVD and included on REVISITED 1 in full. Here the clip is in a shortened version (to maintain YouTube upload constraints). Playing Tip: Click load, wait a little for the red slider to move fully to the right, or stop the slider and nudge back and click pause until loaded fully.



As you will notice, a small part of the video is damaged due to storage on Betamax video, but I restored what I could and added a stereo soundtrack for the song. The full version, caption free is on REVISITED 1.

Enhanced video from 1982 "Show Express", with best quality picture and digital stereo sound, includes background applause underlaid and a new ending to the video. Taken from REVISITED 2 double DVD, details in REVISITED 2 post below.

THE AGNETHA DEFINITIVE VIDEO COLLECTION-DVD








Above is the Agnetha Definitive Video Colection DVD We ABBA fans yearn for a DVD of Agnetha's 80's clips, to date none is planned, rumours abound about me in talks with certain record companies, that I am compiling a DVD with them, to date, no offer or negotiations have been entered into.

Therefore this is as close as we may get for now to an Agnetha DVD.

It has 20 of her 80's clips (My Love, My Life) sung solo is from 1976, all the others cover Agnetha's solo career in the 1980's.

THE BEST OFABBA/BANDSTAND 20 MARCH 1976



THE BEST OF ABBA/BANDSTAND DVD

Fully interactive DVD with the 40 minute special ABBA recorded in 1976 at Channel 9 Australia. This footage was lost in the archives and recently rediscovered. I took the show, boosted any mono spoken parts, removed the old mono sound and added stereo to the music. It all runs and overlaps correctly, therefore the show is revived and enjoyable on 21st century equipment.

An interesting feature is the beginning of the show which I left "As is", this is the TV production "countdown" from 10 to 1 and the producers vocally time stamping the show for posterity.

BEHIND THE BLONDE DVD



ABBA - BEHIND THE BLONDE DVD

This unauthorised Channel 4 programme interviews the Dutch stalker (just see how mad he really is), and many of Agnetha's "so called" friends. Interesting to view although I do not completely agree with the portrayal of our lovely Agnetha.
