Long before he had success with Roxette, and shortly before achieving fame with Gyllene Tider, Per Gessle recorded the double A-side single “After School” / “Keep My Love Satisfied" with career-long collaborator Mats “M.P.” Persson.

The single didn’t set the record charts alight, and the design definitely had a homemade charm to it. The front cover used Embassy to set the band name and single title with a diabolo effect. The back cover also kept things very stark with Univers doing the heavy lifting with the credits. The layout and design are credited to “Shit, Peace and Eternity Art”, which appears to be a pseudonym for Persson and Gessle.
