Hi folks,

We're glad to announce that "Disco Romance" will be released in North
America with three brand new bonus tracks, the extended mix of "I'll be
by your side" and new beautiful wintry artwork by a Canadian designer.
The release will take place on Canadian label Paper Bag Records, who
impressed me (Johan) by having released Plastikman's latest album (I'm
a Plastikman fan since 1996) but who above all seems like a nice,
enthusiastic and professional label - primarily in the indie rock genre
but also with some electronic artists. See attached press release from
the label as well as an article on Pitchfork Media.

The three new tracks will probably be released in Europe as en EP
(hopefully on vinyl too) but we haven't decided on what label yet. More
info to follow!

Paper Bag Records Releases Sally Shapiro's US Debut Disco Romance

Track Listing Revealed, Release Date October 30, 2007.

Paper Bag Records is pleased to announce the track listing and release
of Swedish singer Sally Shapiro?s 2007 debut Disco Romance in North
America on October 30. The album was written and produced by Johan
Agebjörn and saw its breakthrough European release last year, making an
impact around the globe. The US release will feature three brand new
tracks: ?Skating in the Moonshine?, ?He Keeps Me Alive? and ?Jackie
Jackie?, as well as the extended version of the single that started it
all, ?I?ll Be By Your Side?, previously only available on vinyl.

The European release of Disco Romance was met with overwhelming
praise, earning an 8.5/10 and ?Best New Music? at Pitchforkmedia in
early 2007, a number 11 position in the iTunes US electronic charts and
numerous featured interviews in publications such as Vice and XLR8R
magazine?s with the reserved and ambiguous Shapiro. Among others
enthusiasts were the Village Voice and The San Francisco Bay Guardian,
who claimed, ?Fans of St. Etienne and Annie should run out and buy it
before they've finished reading this sentence. (It?s an) early
contender for album of the year.?

Sally Shapiro has remained somewhat of an enigma and a mystery to her
followers. She has, for example, turned up to her own release party
incognito, and is rarely photographed. From a relationship born out of
mere office acquaintances in 2001, Shapiro and Johan Agebjörn found
common ground in 2004 when an exchange of mix tapes revealed their
shared musical taste which included such artists as Madonna, Limahl,
Visage, Savage and Fun Fun. Eventually ?I?ll Be By Your Side?, the
single penned by Agebjörn, premiered on the popular Swedish P3. The
care put into this new version will further secure its place as one of
the year?s most heartfelt and utterly irresistible albums.

Disco Romance track listing:

1. I'll Be By Your Side (Extended Mix)
2. I Know
3. Find My Soul
4. Time to Let Go
5. Anorak Christmas
6. He Keeps Me Alive
7. Hold Me So Tight
8. Skating in the Moonshine
9. Jackie Jackie (Spend This Winter With Me)
10. Sleep in My Arms
