Frida – 4xCD 1xDVD is a boxed set compilation album by Swedish singer Anni-Frid Lyngstad, better known as Frida, released on 5 December 2005 by Polar Music. This box set contains her solo albums, Frida ensam, Something's Going On, Shine, and Djupa andetag (Deep Breaths) and a DVD documentary film, Frida – The DVD.
This idea was conceived by Marie Ledin, daughter of Stig Anderson, who worked with Anderson Records, who stated that "the idea that we should make a DVD came from a Frida fan from the beginning." Ledin spoke to Mårten Aglander, managing director of Universal Sweden, and Lyngstad about the documentary and the compilation. As Lyngstad turned 60 years old at that time in 2005, Ledin thought it would be a good idea to "do the DVD and also do a box set with the Polar [Music] albums." Thus, it was made, with Lyngstad's permission, and meticulous research done by Ledin for the documentary, Frida – The DVD.
Frida – The DVD contains television clips of Lyngstad's performances prior to ABBA, two documentaries about the making of Something's Going On, and Djupa andetag, which was part of the documentary special, Frida – Mitt I Livet, both of which were produced by Sveriges Television. Frida – 4xCD 1xDVD also includes its accompanying music videos from her career's time periods, and her exclusive interview in Zermatt; which featured Lyngstad talking about her personal life, career, personality, and encounters with celebrities such as Lasse Berghagen, and Phil Collins, as well as including her first four solo albums with Polar Music and her only album with Anderson Records, Djupa andetag.
