Svanfríður was founded in early 1972 by singer Pétur Wigelund Kristjánsson, bass player Gunnar Hermannsson, guitarist Birgir Hrafnsson and drummer Sigurður Karlsson. The last two came from the band Ævintýri, which had gained great popularity some time before. After non-stop playing, they went to London, late summer 1972, to record an album.

The Isley Brothers & Jimi Hendrix – In The Beginning... is a 1971 compilation album released on the T-Neck label (catalog number TNS 3007) in the United States. The album features recordings originally made between 1964 and 1965, when Jimi Hendrix was a member of The Isley Brothers' band. The Isley Brothers are an American soul group originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, that began as a vocal trio consisting of the brothers O'Kelly Isley Jr., Rudolph Isley and Ronald Isley in the 1950s.
