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.
