ABBA Official Photo Book Issues - Intermezzo Fan Club Report

Here is a full report by 'ABBA Intermezzo International ABBA Fan Club on the issues surrounding the release of the Official Photo Book. This is from their magazine Issue 73.

I would like to note that since this report was written, the documentary 'ABBA: A Life In Pictures' (the DVD included with the Deluxe editions) has aired on TV in Sweden and is now, of course, on youtube. The original advertisement for the Photo Book said the documentary was produced specially for the Deluxe editions - another reason for the hefty price. I don't recall the advertisement stating that it would end up on TV.

Just kind of completes the picture don't you think ?

Have I been over the top with my criticism of the book ? I don't think so.

I thank the Intermezzo Fan Club for this honest and comprehensive report. Spells everything out very clearly.

ABBA The Official Photo Book - Update

Scanning the photos!

The work on ABBA The Official Photo Book is moving forward at full steam.
Our team of repro experts is now scanning the original photographs to ensure the highest possible print quality for the book – it takes time and precision as every image is scanned carefully and needs to be just perfect.
After an image has been scanned the team works with the digital file to ensure colour and sharpness. At the moment they have scanned more than 500 images.
