Bag of Trix – Music From The Roxette Vaults – a four-record / 3CD collection of 46 previously unreleased or long since deleted Roxette recordings—demos, alternative mixes, Spanish versions, bonus tracks and other fun stuff from the Swedish band’s long, illustrious and extraordinary successful career 1986 - 2016.

Volume One of Bag Of Trix consists of 12 songs recorded over a 30-year period: from the demo of Like Lovers Do recorded during an early pre-recording session for Roxette’s debut album Pearls Of Passion in the summer of 1986, to the new single Let Your Heart Dance With Me which was a leftover from the Good Karma recordings in 2016.

Bag Of Trix offers unique insights in one of Sweden’s most fascinating pop group careers. Check out Brian Malouf’s American single mix of Joyride, in its album version the song is a classic in the Roxette catalogue, but few outside of the US has probably heard this intense and in-your-face single mix. Bag Of Trix also offers Marie Fredriksson’s and Per Gessle’s acoustic demo of Hotblooded, as well as an unplugged version of their adored power-ballad Listen To Your Heart which together with their version of the Beatles masterpiece Help! was recorded in the Abbey Road studios in London during the Autumn of 1995.

And for Marie Fredriksson’s millions of fans all over it might be with extra anticipation they will approach the three home-recorded demo versions of her own songs Pocketful Of Rain, Beautiful Boy and Waiting For The Rain - of which only the last one ended up on a Roxette album.
