Roxette support the World Childhood Foundation

by

Roxette have recorded a 30-second ID for the World Childhood Foundation founded by Queen Silvia of Sweden. We have previously written about this campaign, but some of you might have missed it. Here’s the message:

PG: When you rescue a girl at risk of abuse, you’re not only saving her but you’re also saving her children and children’s children. Hello, my name is Per Gessle…
MF: …my name is Marie Fredriksson and we are…
MF & PG: …Roxette!
PG: By helping one child you’re freeing future generations from life in abuse and neglect. The World Childhood Foundation works with local organizations that help children at risk. Join us in helping childhood, start the cycle that help to last for generations.

VO: For more information and to find out how you can help please visit childhood-usa.org

You can listen to the message in the link above.

Thanks to Wasif Haq for sharing this information.

Don’t bore us… with another compilation, dear EMI.

EMI is just a day from being sold off to a bidder that gives the biggest price. Probably it will be Universal Music or some other group with international branches. In this very meantime EMI Germany (one of those few EMI offices that actually did something positive for Roxette in the last two years) is releasing a very special 4-CD box called “Die ultimative Hit-Kollektion” for “just” EUR 49.99. It does includes an iconic Joyride-era picture with Roxette logo from Charm School album on the front cover.

If you have too much money in times of economical crisis, you can purchase your copy here & only – at Shop24direct.de. If you think we deserve something better – for instance – releases of legendary Roxette concerts from Sweden, Switzerland, Australia or South Africa in a decent format (and we’re not thinking about a stereo VHS), just give us a shout in the comment section.

Here below you can find the tracklist of the new box.
