''Frida 1967–1972'' is a 2 CD compilation of recordings by Swedish singer Anni-Frid Lyngstad released by EMI Sweden in 1997. The album gathers Lyngstad's recordings, pre ABBA, for the EMI/Columbia label in chronological order; the A- and B-sides of ten 7" singles as well as her EMI album ''Frida''. ==History== On September 3, 1967, Frida won the national Swedish songcontest named "New Faces", arranged by record company EMI and held at Skansen, Stockholm. The first prize was a recording contract with EMI Sweden. A secret for the winner, not known to Frida, was to perform the song live in a major TV show the same evening. This happened on the same day Sweden went from driving on the left hand to the right hand. That Sunday evening, September 1967, Frida sang her winning song "En Ledig Dag", (A Free Day or A Day Off) in the TV show. This very first exposure to a wider TV-audience caused a big sensation and so many record companies and composers got in touch with Frida, EMI started to fear they might lose their new singer. To be sure, on the next morning, EMI drove all the way from Stockholm to the town Eskilstuna and ended up in Fridas home with the recording contract for her to sign. EMI producer Olle Bergman remembers:-"''We got so interested and fond of her and I thought she had everything a person needs to become something''". This is how Lyngstad got her first recording contract. She spent five years at EMI Sweden before switching to the Polar Music label and joining her bandmates in ABBA. Her first TV-performance, mentioned above, is included in Frida the dvd. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frida 1967–1972」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
