Return of Bad Hair Day

Written by tevensso on March 16, 2006 to Per Gessle.

STOCKHOLM - Bad Hair Day is back, this time with… well, we'll let The Plumber himself tell.

Liar! Yes, I know… but I thought I told the truth when I told you I didn't have any more demos from the SOAP-project. But look what I found! The first version of Jo-Anna Says with a totally different verse (Clarence hated it!). I re-wrote just in time for the real recording… Sorry ‘bout this f##k-up… but better late than never…

Cheers,

P. (no brains left…)

PS. By the way, just came home from a couple of days of promo in Germany & Switzerland. I had a blast. Great day yesterday, I did 14 (!) interviews in Zurich and Jo-Anna is happening on the radio!!! Hallelujah!

Is it not weird that out the 3 most comercial songs on the album, 2 had demos?

Just shows you have to have demos (a platform) to work from and improve on. Can’t help thinking how much better the other songs could have been

Thanx Mr G... :o) ... hmmmmm.

So now we’ve done 2 of the 3 latest solo records’ demo’s. I can only hope and pray that we’ll get the demo’s for TWATG (wink wink nudge nudge).

Anyways, great addition to our collection so far.

Later ;o)

I´m getting tired of these demos, althoug I love them. Why not Roxette demos? Is Per keeping them back for the ROX BOX?

My god...we talk too much about possible future Roxette projects, that I´m bored sometimes...When that box came up, I will buy 100, I promise hehee.

I’m just downloading the demo. I hope it’ll sound a bit different than the final version. I’m really curious what it sounds like. Beautiful!!! Why do I always fall in love with every demo Per releases? Per’s voice is so clear and audible... Lovely!

Oliver said on March 17, 2006 20:34:

Yes, you’re right Per. Today “Jo-Anna says” was played again on the Swiss national radio station DRS3.

harriej said on March 17, 2006 20:51:

Thanx!
It is fun seeing (or hearing in this case) how much or few songs change between the demo-version and the final version.
