30 years ago, Roxette released their fifth album Crash! Boom! Bang!, including a stream of hit singles like Sleeping In My Car, the title track, Fireworks, Run To You and Vulnerable.
The album would sell more than five million copies and was followed by their second World Tour, which saw them perform for over a million people, including the second performance ever by an international act in China.
We’re celebrating this classic album’s 30-year anniversary with a unique special edition: a gatefold double album in black and white vinyl with 18 tracks and an 8-page booklet with brand new liner notes, as well as an 18-track CD version that also includes a bonus CD with 23 demo recordings of songs considered for the album.
Per Gessle says:
Roxette were among the three most played artists on American radio during 1989, 1990 and 1991, and we were on top of the charts all over the world. So, it’s no wonder we felt pretty confident when it was time to record the new album.
Having had that kind of success made us feel that we had a perfect opportunity to stretch out into new directions. To show slightly different sides of what Roxette could be. And I still think “Crash! Boom! Bang!” is our best album.
The 30-year anniversary versions of Crash! Boom! Bang! will be released on 6th December. Watch out for the fireworks!
You can secure your copy through THIS pre-order link, but the anniversary release will be available worldwide, so check it with your local record shop as well. CBB30 will be available on streaming platforms as well.
