Roxette are to release Bag of Trix – Music From The Roxette Vaults – a four-record collection of unreleased and deleted recordings.

The collection features 46 demos, alternative mixes, Spanish versions, bonus tracks and other fun stuff from the Swedish band’s long, illustrious and hugely successful career.

Thirty singles turning 30 in 2021

Bag of Trix will be released digitally in four volumes starting on October 30th and running through December 11th, when the final digital volume and the two physical releases – a 4LP boxed set and 3CD set – will be released

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

Bag Of Trix also offers Marie Fredriksson’s and Per Gessle’s acoustic demo of Hotblooded, as well as an unplugged version of the classic Listen To Your Heart which, together with their version of The Beatles’ Help!, was recorded at London’s Abbey Road Studios in the Autumn of 1995. 

Also featured are home demos from Fredriksson 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. 

Dear all of you, let’s open the Bag Of Trix! Vol. 1 will be out this Friday.
More ear candy will pop up on a regular basis until December 11th when the full BAG OF TRIX will be available both digitally and physically!
Let’s open the bag, folks! /P. pic.twitter.com/0uESxVgxdN

“Both Marie and I loved to be in the studio and record our music, and looking back at it now it’s quite overwhelming how much material we did produce — a lot more than we ever released. But I guess we were so spurred on by the whole fantastic Roxette circus we were in at the time,” says Gessle. 

“A lot of what was then ‘only’ put out as bonus material on CD singles in Japan or maybe didn’t see a release at all, today feels like an interesting part of our catalogue,” he adds. “And that’s why I think that the Bag Of Trix trip can offer quite an interesting listening experience, especially if you have followed us over the years.”
