The Heat Is On
12" extended version
3-track EP

Polydor Records PDSX2240 1983 12" 45rpm (Canada)

"The Heat Is On" was recorded by former ABBA member Agnetha Fältskog in 1983 as part of her first English solo-album, Wrap Your Arms Around Me.

The single was a cover version of a 1979 song by Noosha Fox, which failed to chart when Fox released it as a single. (It had also been rewritten by Manfred Mann's Earth Band as "On the Run" for their 1980 album Chance). In contrast, Agnetha's version proved so successful throughout Europe, it sold more copies than any of ABBA's 1982 single releases. In the UK, "The Heat Is On" peaked at No.35, making it Faltskog's highest charting solo single in Britain until the release of her 2004 comeback single, "If I Thought You'd Ever Change Your Mind", which reached No.11.

In some countries, the record companies also released a 12"-single featuring an extended version of "The Heat Is On" instead of the album version.

A Note About Shipping To The U.S.
We are located in Canada, but have registered ourselves on eBay.com instead of eBay.ca because it gives us significantly better global exposure.  The problem with this is that eBay wants us to charge shipping appropriate to US, where media mail and other options make for fairly reasonable delivery costs. We tried it for a while but ended up losing money on shipping or having to cancel the orders because we couldn't afford to ship for those rates. To manage this we have set the US shipping to run a calculator based on an American location (we chose Plattsburgh as fairly close) and charging according to UPS pricing.  This avoids the cancellation issue, but appears to the buyer to be a prohibitive shipping cost and misrepresents the shipping as being only expedited. If you give us your postal code we will see if we can offer a more reasonable option, but generally we can get a single LP by air to most places in the continental US for $11, a few bucks less for ground.
Thanks for shopping Sir Helmitt,
