SWR3 (Südwestrundfunk) was is one of the biggest radio stations in Germany and the biggest in south Germany.

Update: According to Per, the videoclip was directed by David Nord.
First look at the LP
The LP version of “Travelling” comes without any new pictures. Instead the pics are just bigger.
The demo of “Me & You & Terry & Julie” is rocky and doesn’t point that the final version would have slow verses and a fast chorus. The demo of “Touched by the hand of God” (called Charm school) is also acoustic – Per and an acoustic guitar.
The tracklist order is also different on the vinyl, beginning with side B (track 5 on the Cd) every following ‘track-couple’ is switched with each other, Easy Way Out with It’s Possible, EMSDYWMTCUYW with Perfect Excuse and See Me with It’s Possible (Version 02).
Roxette enters Swedish chart at #8
Roxette entered the Swedish album chart at #8 with “Travelling”. As expected, #1 was Madonna with her “MDNA”. This means that Roxette was the second highest entry this week.
(One could think it was a bit of a bad timing to release the album the same week as Madonna…, but who cares, we still love our great band).
