    Their third album in Sweden, but second in the rest of the world, Joyride established Roxette as a real band. Designed by EMI in-house designer/producer Kjell Andersson with help from Roxette. Kjell was very into Futura at this period – here using the Bold in all lowercase –, and considering none of this was made in Photoshop it really is a masterpiece! It was released on vinyl, CD, MC, DCC and MD, with all sleeves being the same except for the cassettes where they cropped it in portrait mode of course.

    1. The logo is actually using Futura Bold; the extra bold weight is heavier.

    2. Right you are, my bad. Thanks for the correction.
