We made new and more вЂњRoxifiedвЂќ demo versions of them вЂ“ and especially, вЂњRun Run RunвЂќ I think could have been a very strong one. And when I was looking for material for the new album in the autumn of 1989, I got hooked on these two. ItвЂ™s about вЂњRun Run RunвЂќ and вЂњAnother Place, Another TimeвЂќ, which Gyllene released on our English album вЂњThe Heartland CafГ©вЂќ in 1984. Interestingly enough, there are also two Gyllene Tider songs here, which in January 1990 were candidates to end up on the upcoming Roxette record. Twelve of the songs are previously unreleased, including the first recording of Hotblooded, which for a while was intended as the albumвЂ™s opening song before Joyride pushed it to second place.

In addition, a richly illustrated 32-page booklet is included, which in text and with unique images from RoxetteвЂ™s archive tells the story of how a classic Swedish pop album came to be.

The Joyride anniversary is celebrated with a vinyl box consisting of 4 LPs and a 3-CD box, which in addition to the original edition contains lots of unreleased or hard-to-get material that paints a larger picture of a piece of Swedish music history: demos, alternative versions and leftovers. Thus, the group set a record that no Scandinavian group or artist has managed to surpass. The album not only became RoxetteвЂ™s bestseller, the title track zoomed all the way up to the top of the US charts on 1st May 1991 вЂ“ giving Roxette their fourth US No.1. Joyride was the album that was supposed to cement the unlikely successes of Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle. Roxette had in record time turned into a global hit phenomenon thanks to the three US hits The Look, Listen To Your Heart, It Must Have Been Love and other big hits such as Dressed For Success and Dangerous. This year marks 30 years since Roxette released her third album Joyride, which followed up the bandвЂ™s record global breakthrough with the album Look Sharp! in 1989. The Joyride 30th anniversary box with the whole story, demos and previously unreleased material will be released on 26th November.ДЄlready tomorrow, 8th October, the single Small Talk will be released with two previously unreleased versions of Small Talk and Hotblooded.
