Released 39 years ago today. A largely underrated album. Initially available in Sweden, and possibly some surrounding areas, but never really heard of elsewhere, unless you're a hardcore fan like myself. ;) It did have a few reissues over the years, but most of the world doesn't know much about their material from before the "Look Sharp!" album in 1988.

Tune in again next year for the 40th anniversary of Roxette's debut. :) Check out the album's singles at the YouTube links below:

For those who are unfamiliar with Christchurch, the area known as The Strip is in the heart of the city centre and is a line of different bars/pubs along the Avon River on Oxford Terrace, most notably between Hereford Street and Cashel Street, although there may have been a few others nearby. It was where Christchurch's nightlife was often located.

Of course, there were other parts of the CBD that had good venues to visit, but The Strip was very popular as a lot of them were so close together, bar hopping was a little easier there. Many of the city's most popular nightlife locations were in this area.

This video (uploaded by YouTuber, bigtednz) comes from a home video that was filmed in the mid-to-late 90's. A link to Part 2 is in the comments section.
