HELSINKI - As you probably already know, Roxette doesn't have a record deal for the US. They had a deal with Edel America Records (EAR) that was supposed to have included the "Room Service" CD out now, but it only lasted for one album - a Greatest Hits compilation. So, what went wrong?

  "We're not used to working with small record companies," said Per at a press conference held here today in response to a question from The Daily Roxette. "They are always like 'We have to move in 6 months' and things like that. We're not used to that. We are a big record company band."

  Roxette has their entertainment lawyer in the States attempting to talk with bigger companies, but without success so far. The reason may be that Roxette is reluctant to lower their price. "If we're going to have a record deal in the US, it will be on our terms," said Per.
