Ki-I-Ai-Oo / Strul Igen was a double A-sided single released by Marie Fredriksson's first group Strul. This record is actually the first ever to feature Marie Fredriksson and both of the songs are only available on this rare single since no album was released by the group.

When Strul were planning for the first "Strul festival" in Halmstad 1979 they decided to sell a badge with their name on it, instead of a ticket, as a kind of entrance fee. Since everybody entering the concert area were told to wear the badge in a prominent place the guards could easily check that people had paid the admission fee.

Strul's logotype was designed by a friend of the group, Per Gessle, who got the inspiration from the cover of Dave Edmund's album Repeat When Neccessary which was released in 1979.

Mammas Barn was the only single released by Marie Fredriksson's second group MaMas Barn and both songs were later included on their album Barn Som Barn.

Originally another song was planned to be released as the first single by the group, who were on CBS record label at the time, but MaMas Barn and the record company could not agree on which song it should be.

When the record company WEA-Metronome bought the contract from CBS the group got the opportunity to record a whole album and Mammas Barn was chosen to be released as a single.

Barn Som Barn is the only album released by Marie Fredriksson's second group MaMas Barn and the songs were recorded in the spring of 1982 at the WEA-Metronome Studios in Stockholm. The album was critically well received but it only sold around 1.000 copies. A test pressing of the LP including slightly different versions of the songs does also exist.

MaMas Barn had only two members (Marie Fredriksson and Matrin Sternhufvud) but when the album was recorded they invited two members of Gyllene Tider as guest musicians. Because of Marie Fredriksson's huge success with Roxette the record company decided to release the album on CD in 1992, exactly 10 years after the original release of the LP.

Produced by Finn Sjöberg and Mamas Barn.

The song was recorded at EMI Studios in Stockholm and it was only available on this single and on some Swedish compilation CDs until it was included on her greatest hits album Äntligen - Marie Fredrikssons Bästa (1984-2000).

The picture sleeve shows a photograph of Marie and her older sister Tina which was taken in 1962 and this was the first time that Marie Fredriksson was profesionally photgraphed in a studio.

The promotion 12'' has, by mistake two different numbers printed on the A- and B-side and the correct number is PRO 4104.

Tro was the first single taken from Marie Fredriksson's solo album I En Tid Som Vår and the song was originally written for the Swedish movie "Sånt Är Livet".

The first edition of the CDS was made in Sweden but most of the singles that were sold in Sweden were actually made in The Netherlands.

The song Tid För Försoning wat not included on the album and it is not available anywhere else.

I En Tid Som Vår is Marie Fredriksson's fifth solo album and it was recorded between February and September 1996 at Vinden Studios, the new built studio at her home in Djursholm, Stockholm.

Marie Fredriksson recorded three songs (Hometown, Tro and I En Tid Som Vår) for the Swedish movie "Sånt Är Livet" and a soundtrack including these songs was planned to be released in the fall of 1996. The idea of a soundtrack was later cancelled and therefore two of these songs were instead included on this album.

I En Tid Som Vår was also released in Japan and this edition of the album includes a booklet with both Japanese and Swedish lyrics.

Produced by Marie Fredriksson and Mikael Bolyos.

The second song, Drömmen, is also taken from the album but this version of the song is remixed by Mikael Bolyos and Marie Fredriksson and it is not available anywhere else.

Ber Bara En Gång was the third single taken from Marie Fredriksson's solo album I En Tid Som Vår and only 600 copies were made.

Both of the songs included on this single were taken from her album I En Tid Som Vår and they are the same versions as on the album.

Äntligen was the first single from Marie Fredriksson's greatest hits album Äntligen - Marie Fredriksson Bästa (1984-2000).

The song Solen Gick Ned Över Stan is actually a remix of the song Äntligen and this version of the song is different from the version included on the greatest hits album.

EMI Svenska AB made a limited number of promotion singles which was sent out before the commercial single was released but a mistake was made when they printed the sleeve for the promotion single. The sleeve was misprinted with an incorrect length of both songs and therefore the promotion single has a different catalogue number than the commercial single.

Äntligen - Marie Fredriksson Bästa (1984-2000) is Marie Fredriksson's first greatest hits album and it was the best selling Swedish album of the year 2000!

The album includes most of her solo singles together with some of her personal favourites from her solo career and three newly recorded songs. This is the first time that the song Sparvöga appears on any of her solo albums.

Because of the greatest hits albums enormous success in Sweden Marie Fredriksson finally decided to make a new solo tour in the summer of 2000.

Det Som Var Nu (a duet with the Swedish artist Patrik Isaksson) was released as a single during the tour but unfortunately it was no success on the charts.

Produced by Marie Fredriksson and Mikael Bolyos (track 1, 2 & 15 - 17), Lars-Göran "Lasse" Lindbom (track 3 - 10), Marie Fredriksson, Anders Herrlin and Per Andersson (Sparvöga), Marie Fredriksson and Anders Herrlin (track 12 - 14).

Det Som Var Nu is a duet between Marie Fredriksson and the Swedish artist Patrik Isaksson and the song was specially recorded for the greatest hits album Äntligen - Marie Fredriksson Bästa (1984-2000).

Det Som Var Nu was the last single taken from Marie Fredriksson's greatest hits album and it was released during her tour of Sweden in the summer of 2000. Since the song was already included on the greatest hits album not many people bought the single and consequently it had no success on the Swedish charts.

The second track on this single in an instrumental version of Det Som Var Nu which is unavailable anywhere else.

Äntligen - Sommarturné is a live album by Marie Fredriksson which was recorded and filmed during her concert at Sjöhistriska museet, Stockholm on August 10, 2000.

The album was released as a double feature in a foldout digipak including both a live CD and DVD containing the live concert, an interview with Marie Fredriksson and her solo videos.

The live CD includes only 15 tracks whereas the DVD has 18 tracks and this is due to the limited playtime of a CD compared to a DVD.
