The Hep Stars Swedish pop group formed in 1963 under the name Quartet Yep. The group was one of the most successful in Sweden in the 1960s. It was dissolved in 1973, but re-emerged in the late 1980s. Several of the members have achieved success on their own or in other groups, including Svenne Hedlund as solo artist and Benny Andersson in Abba, among others. 1 : The Hep Stars - Olga LPO 04 - Sweden - 1966 Vinyl : NM / M Sleeve : VG+ ABBA Swedish pop group ABBA, founded in 1972, became famous when they won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974. It started a decade of almost uninterrupted string of hits and major selling albums. After the group stopped releasing new material in 1982 (they never officially disbanded) there was a relative lull in their popularity – which came to an end in 1992 when "Gold (Greatest Hits)" was released. The compilation has become one of the world's most best-selling albums of all time. In 1999, a musical based on ABBA hits called 'Mamma Mia!' opened in London. With various international productions, in 50 countries in all 6 continents, it is one of the most popular musicals of all time. ABBA were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2010, in the category of 'Performers'. ABBA released a new album in November 2021. Live shows with ABBA appearing as virtual 'abbatars' started in London in May 2022.

She is best known as 'Frida' from ABBA. Lyngstad was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a member of ABBA, in 2010. For more Lyngstad releases, see Frida. Based in Sweden, Lyngstad started her music career in 1958 as a jazz singer. In 1964 she married jazz musician Ragnar Fredriksson and had two children, Hans Fredriksson and Ann Lise-Lotte Fredriksson. The couple separated in 1968. In 1967 she won EMI's talent competition "New Faces", making her first TV appearance, singing "En Ledig Dag", her first single, released on EMI's His Master's Voice imprint. Despite several singles on EMI, a few of them charting, and appearing on Swedish television and cabarets, Lyngstad didn't become hugely popular in Sweden, prior to ABBA. She had her first #1 hit in 1971 with "Min Egen Stad". The track was taken from Lyngstad's first album "Frida", produced by her then fiancé and future husband Benny Andersson (the two wouldn't marry until 1978). The album expanded Lyngstad's style more towards pop. In 1972, Lyngstad signed with Polar and recorded her first single for the label, "Man Vill Ju Leva Lite Dessemellan", which became her second #1 hit in Sweden. ABBA was formed that same year. The production of her first solo album for Polar took over a year, as the production of ABBA albums of "Waterloo" and "ABBA" took precedence. "Frida Ensam" was released in November 1975 in Scandinavia. The single "Fernando" (later recorded in English by ABBA), and the album reached to the Top 10 in Svensktoppen. Lyngstad didn't adopt the artist name 'Frida' completely before her post-ABBA releases, although only "Frida" appeared on the sleeve front of both of her 70s albums. Lyngstad divorced Andersson in 1981, and ABBA released their last new material in 1982. This led Lyngstad to collaborate with Genesis drummer and singer Phil Collins, on the Frida album "Something's Going On", released in 1982. The single "I Know There's Something Going On" and the album became considerable hits, especially in Europe. In 1984 the album "Shine" was released, produced by Steve Lillywhite. Unlike her previous album, it was only a moderate success, mainly in continental Europe. Lyngstad debuted as a songwriter on the album with "Don't Do It". After the two solo albums, Lyngstad concentrated on environmental issues and got involved with Artister För Miljö, who released a single in 1992, with Frida on vocals. The same year she became a princess through her marriage to Prince Heinrich Ruzzo Reuss (of Plauen) in 1992. In 1996, the Frida album "Djupa Andetag" was released. The album marked something of a comeback for Lyngstad, although in Scandinavia only. Lyngstad has appeared as a guest singer, most notably with Swedish duo Ratata, Deep Purple keyboardist Jon Lord, Dan Daniell, and jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval. 10 : Something's Going On - Polydor 2311 176 - Netherlands - 1982 Vinyl : NM Sleeve : VG+ / NM 11 : Shine - Polydor 823 580 1 - Germany - 1984 Vinyl : NM Sleeve ; VG+ See pictures for a good impression Registered shipping
