According to this website (one that lists discographies of artists in a Wikipedia kind of way), there was a French band with the name Roxette before Per and Marie became famous with it...

It’s news to me... Obviously they had to change their name (if they lasted that long?). Does anyone know anything about them?

The song “Natacha” is a cover version of “California Sun” (written by Henry Glover & Morris Levy), which was also covered by Gyllene Tider as “Tylö sun”. It seems both were released on 1982, is it a coincidence?
By the way, the French single has a very funny sleeve! :)

yes there was another “Roxette” in France and no they didn’t last long. It was a rock band and they released only a couple of singles if I remember well.
Anyway, here’s a link to see and listen to their music :
