Break away from the traditional ABBA sound with this seminal 1982 UK first-pressing of Frida's solo masterwork—an uncompromised, hard-hitting pop/rock masterpiece engineered to redefine her artistic identity.
3 Key Benefits:
- The Phil Collins Transformation: Crafted at Polar Studios in Stockholm, this track features Phil Collins' legendary, explosive acoustic drum engineering and raw production, moving Frida completely away from commercial Europop into gritty, driving pop/rock territory.
- Investment-Grade UK Pressing: A highly sought-after original 1982 Epic Records release, complete with the highly collectible, original paper picture sleeve illustrating her iconic early-80s transformation.
- Verified Play-Grade Quality: Carefully archived and strictly graded under professional lighting to guarantee a crisp, dynamic audio performance across both sides with zero deep structural tracking errors.
Released in the summer of 1982, I Know There's Something Going On represents a monumental moment in pop history. Eager to sever creative ties with the familiar, polished ABBA arrangements, Anni-Frid Lyngstad specifically enlisted Genesis drummer and producer Phil Collins to helm her solo project, Something's Going On. The result was an international smash hit that stunned critics. Powered by an aggressive, heavy drum foundation, blistering guitars by Daryl Stuermer, and Frida's raw, soaring rock vocals, this record remains a masterclass in early 1980s studio innovation. This original UK Epic pressing captures that exact analog warmth and massive dynamic punch that modern digital streams simply cannot replicate.
