Roxette’s 1994 album Crash! Boom! Bang! will be reissued for its 30th anniversary, next month.

The group’s fifth album includes the singles ‘Sleeping In My Car’, ‘Fireworks’, ‘Run To You’, ‘Vulnerable’ and the title track and despite the fact that ‘Sleeping In My Car’ was the only significant hit, Crash! Boom! Bang! was a top three album in most European countries (they’d lost America by this point where Roxette enjoyed four No 1 singles between 1989 and 1991).

2LP vinyl features one white LP and one black one

The Crash! Boom! Bang! reissue comes in 2CD deluxe and 2LP vinyl formats. The former includes a bonus CD with 23 demo recordings of songs considered for the album, while the latter offers the album on white and black LPs.

Like many artists in the CD era of the ’90s, Roxette were guilty of producing some overlong albums; the original release was 15 tracks and ran for 62 mins and this reissue is even longer, since it features three bonus tracks first included on the 2009 reissue.

Crash! Boom! Bang! will be reissued on 6 December 2024, via Parlophone.
