ABBA On The Web · December 2009
During ABBA's heyday a plethora of merchandise and other memorabilia was
available. Two new websites, coincidentally by a pair of friends from
Australia, showcase a lot of these items.
ABBA Fanatic by Roxanne is a comprehensive site
that includes some up to date ABBA news and features, but it's her
Collection that has the meat of the site. Here you can see photos of many
albums, singles and CDs, books, videos and DVDs, posters, newspapers and
magazines, promotional items, merchandise and much, much more from Australia
and around the world. Many rare and much sought after collector’s items can
be seen.
A section on ABBA - The Movie includes many worldwide movie posters, and
another section on ABBA's concert tour of Australia in 1977 features photos,
reviews and actual newspaper articles.
There is also a picture gallery, always a popular part of any ABBA fan site.
Fans can submit their own photos of themselves with a prized item of ABBA
memorabilia. Yes, you can find a photo of me there! It is easy navigation
with the major sections accessible from the navigation bar across the top.
Abbasolutely by Roxanne's friend
Trudy is a blog with images of Trudy's huge collection. Here you'll find
many more rare and interesting items. Lots and lots of posters, one of
Trudy's passions, plus other interesting collectibles including something
I'd never seen before, a Frida - Something's Going On branded calculator!
As this is a blog you'll have to navigate back through older posts to see
everything, but rest assured it is worth it for the wonderful ABBA items
you'll find.
Both of these sites will give the visitor an interesting view of what sort
of items have appeared with ABBA's name and image over the years. Both are
regularly updated with new items so I highly recommend repeat visits.
