It is still unclear if it is going to be released outside Sweden. Gehrmans Musikforlag, the publishing company, claims it will be available everywhere expect US/Canada, but time will tell if it is true.

The book will cost around 300 SEK in Sweden and it will include many Roxette pictures as well as new liner notes from Per Gessle.

In the Gehrmans Musikförlag catalogue 2009-2010 the preliminary cover of “Best of Roxette” was published with the release date in the autumn/winter 2009. As you may remember, according to several Swedish websites, the book will be released on March 21st. English words on the cover may suggest that the whole book (with Per Gessle’s comments) will be written in this language. On the other hand, there was also informations that the songbook would be in Swedish.

What’s going on with Helena?

by

Some of you may impatiently wait for Helena’s second album. It is still not clear when it will be released. There are few words on Helena Josefsson herself on her website:

I have been busy, studying in Copenhagen, to become an opticitian like my younger sister! I want to work part-time with it along with music, because as a parent I want to give my family more possibilities. And studying takes a lot of time 🙂 But it is fun to learn new stuff! On top of this we live at my mother´s place because of a large renovation of our flat which is really needed.

About my second album I don´t know, who or when it could be released… But the good part is I am working on more music videos for it with friends, and we have started rehearsing with Sandy Mouche which I enjoy more than ever! Just for fun, like when we first begun playing together. And I am planning for a show with my friend Malin Nilsson the magician.

PS: Help Haiti people by purchasing my music on CDbaby
If you buy music from me, my band Sandy Mouche or anyone through the site CDbaby 1 USDollar will go to helping Haiti survivors of 12th January earthquake.

You can even see some pictures of Helena performing Michael Jackson’s songs on her aunt Sofia Josefsson’s blog.

Roxette song book on the way?

by

According to some tweets from Twitter, Swedish Gehrmans Musikförlag should be working on a Roxette song book.

Here are the tweets:

Gehrmans: Music engraving madness for the #Roxette book. Why is it a always a choice between too spacious or tight? 3 or 4 systems/page we wonder…

(this tweet was re-tweeted by Per, that’s why actually some fans came across this information ;))

Sweet_curly : @Gehrmans Does that mean you are going to publish orchestral scores of Roxette songs?

Gehrmans: @Sweet_Curly No, it’s not orchestral scores but a really good song book!

@Gehrmans Thank you for your answer! Any chance, that this songbook will be published outside of Sweden as well? Germany, e.g.? 😉

@Sweet_Curly Yes. I beleive it’s in english for an international market. I’ll have the actual producer tweet you with info. /Henrik

Update: @joroxer The new #Roxette book will include their singles. 30 songs, about a third not published as #sheetmusic before.
