A flurry of demos were released from Montezuma, where Per and Marie tried out songs between July 25-26 1986, for what would eventually be included on their debut album, ‘Pearls of Passion‘. We do wonder if any others remain in The Roxette Vault? Was this the full Montezuma demo set? Who knows?

We know this was recorded during July 1986, but unsure as to when specifically. It was released as the b-side to the Neverending Love 12″ singles. Its another goodie. Not acoustic.
