The new edition is comes as either a 2CD deluxe or 2LP set. The 2LP set is in black and white vinyl with 18 tracks and an eight-page booklet. The 2CD version has an 18-track expanded version of the album on one CD plus a bonus CD with 23 demo recordings of songs considered for the album.
Crash! Boom! Bang! was a massive hit on its release, selling over five copies and including the hit singles Sleeping In My Car, the title track, Fireworks, Run To You and Vulnerable.
Per Gessie reflects, “Roxette were among the three most played artists on American radio during 1989, 1990 and 1991, and we were on top of the charts all over the world. So, it’s no wonder we felt pretty confident when it was time to record the new album.
“Having had that kind of success made us feel that we had a perfect opportunity to stretch out into new directions. To show slightly different sides of what Roxette could be. And I still think Crash! Boom! Bang! is our best album.”
