“Both Marie and I loved being in the studio and recording our music, and now when one looks back on our careers, it’s pretty overwhelming how much material we managed to produce. Significantly more than could ever come out. We were very tagged by the whole fantastic Roxette circus”, says Per with a smile, and adds, “much of what “only” ended up as bonus material on CD-singles in Japan and in some cases was never released, feels today like an interesting addition to our regular catalogue. So we believe that “Bag of Trix” can offer a lot of interesting material for those who have followed us over the years”.
