ABBA - 日本上陸 in Japan / DVD Video 2009
UPC 602527115665
WHEN ABBA MADE THEIR first visit to Japan in November 1978, they were hardly household names. Ten days later, upon their return to Sweden, the group had made such an impact on the Japanese population that it could hardly get enough of ABBA.
Much of this success was due to a television special, simply entitled ABBA Special, in which ABBA performed many of their most popular songs - from 'Waterloo'. 'SOS' and 'Dancing Queen', up to 'Take A Chance On Me', 'Eagle' and 'Summer Night City'. Three of the songs were unique live performances, and ABBA also treated the Japanese audience to an exclusive preview of 'If It Wasn't For The Nights' from their upcoming album, Voulez-Vous.
This legendary television special is now released on DVD for the first time, complete with remastered stereo sound. The DVD also features two bonus selections: a rare behind-the-scenes documentary of ABBA's visit to Japan, and the TV special performance of 'If It Wasn't For The Nights' with an early, alternate sound mix.
Track 16 "If It Wasn't For The Nights (Bonus Track)" is in a unique mix used in the original Japanese broadcast.
