The Look For Roxette (with Bonus CD)

THE ILLUSTRATED WORLDWIDE DISCOGRAPHY & PRICE GUIDE

by Robert Thorselius

ABOUT THE BOOK

Sweden has increasingly become a popular source of repertoire for international record companies. Coming out of the jet stream after ABBA conquered the world, Roxette is undoubtedly the act that established the fact that much of the world’s most successful music would indeed break out of Sweden. There will be no doubt of Roxette’s role and influence in that process after reading this book.

It is the definitive discography and price guide to Roxette’s official releases in each and every country of the world. The avid record collector and Roxette specialist Robert Thorselius has spent eight years creating this comprehensive document of the total output from the globally successful Swedish pop act. The result is a meticulously researched reference book.

It contains every release in which Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson have ever been involved including, of course, their own legendary pre-Roxette bands like Mamas Barn, Peter Pop & The Helicopters and Gyllene Tider. The latter act still holds a Swedish touring record for largest audience.

Also included is an extensive concert chronology featuring Roxette’s live performances worldwide. That’s were one can find out just when they played that giant stadium in Beijing, China… The price guide will tell you if you might own a potential fortune back home… The video section shows things like what video version was used in order to capitalize on the exposure of It Must Have Been Love in the movie Pretty Woman…
