World premiere of “Roxette – Live in Sydney 1991”

by

Get swept back to the euphoria of 1991, when Roxette steered the pop ship straight into Sydney Harbour on their Join the Joyride! World Tour. Riffs bigger than the Great Barrier Reef laid the foundation for the Swedish duo’s conquest of charts around the globe – with four Billboard number ones that remain in a league of their own. Pop documentary king Henrik Burman (Yung Lean: In My Head, Avicii – I’m Tim) captures Gessle and Fredriksson’s soaring power ballads with an extraordinary feel for every pulsating detail. Get closer than ever to an iconic head of hair in motion, as a white Rickenbacker 360 and two voices in perfect harmony send the crowd into ecstasy.

The world premiere of Roxette – Live in Sydney 1991 will take place at the Stockholm Film Festival on November 17 at Bio Skandia. Before the screening, Per Gessle and director Henrik Burman will join a conversation about the film and the story behind this iconic moment in Roxette’s history.

At the end of 1991, Roxette found themselves in the midst of the great Join the Joyride World Tour, playing at large arenas across Australia, including in Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney. Now, SVT has gained access to extensive and rarely seen raw footage from three of the concerts.

And it is no small treasure trove. The material comprises around 85 hours of film spread across approximately 100 reels, recorded on both 35 mm and 16 mm, together with multi-channel sound. After restoration and re-editing, it has become a brand new concert film where we get to experience Roxette live right in the midst of their international heyday.

Those familiar with Roxette’s history may recall that the concert at Sydney Entertainment Centre on 13 December 1991 was recorded back then, and that parts of the material were released on the video Live-Ism in 1992. The new concert film, however, draws on considerably more material from three concerts – and offers a unique chance to relive Roxette on stage during one of the band’s most successful periods.

The concert film is directed by Henrik Burman at SVT and produced by PINE, with Marion Jernråda as executive producer and project manager.

Besides the cinema version, a TV version will also be produced, premiering on SVT on November 19. It will be approximately one hour long and will feature around 14–15 songs. The cinema version is 110  minutes long.

Roxette – Room Service – 25th Anniversary Edition

by

Roxette’s seventh studio album, Room Service, stands as a polished milestone in the Swedish duo’s catalogue. Originally released in the spring of 2001, the album served as the final studio effort of their original golden era before Marie Fredriksson’s tragic brain tumor diagnosis in 2002 forced an indefinite hiatus.

Room Service captures Roxette fully embracing the glossy, synth-driven landscape of early 2000s European pop. Tracks like the lead single The Centre Of The Heart and the upbeat Real Sugar showcased Gessle’s relentless hook-driven songwriting fused with disco-rock textures, while the enduring European hit Milk And Toast And Honey highlighted Fredriksson’s timeless, emotionally resonant vocal delivery.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Roxette’s Room Service, the 2001 album is being released on vinyl for the very first time. The tracklist has also been expanded with outtakes and demos, bringing the total to 24 tracks. At the same time, a deluxe double-CD edition will be released featuring no fewer than 26 tracks.

There will be two LP editions: a limited edition on marbled red/black vinyl and a standard black vinyl edition.

The 24-track gatefold vinyl editions come with an 8-page booklet, while the 26-track CD includes with a 20-page booklet.

Release date: 18th September.

The Per Gessle Archives – The Have A Nice Day Demos

by

A new set of demos is released under The Per Gessle Archives on 24th April. This time it’s The Have A Nice Day Demos.

Per says:

I had plenty of time to write songs for the Have A Nice Day-album. Roxette had taken a couple of years off after 8 very intense years. Our families got expanded with new beautiful children and I was also busy working on “The World According To Gessle” while preparing the new Roxette album.

I’ve included 26 of my demos in this collection. Looking back I find most of the songs became so much better in the studio in Spain while others could have been treated differently. Sometimes I actually prefer the demo! That’s the way it goes.

Some tunes also turned up years later in other projects, others have stayed in the closet where they truly belong! Hope you’ll find something you like.
