Roxette World Tour 2011 schedule

Gyllene Tider starts celebrating 25

Written by tevensso on February 27, 2004 to .

STOCKHOLM - Gyllene Tider is beginning the celebration of their 25th anniversary by re-releasing their first three LPs – “Gyllene Tider,” “Moderna Tider” and “Puls” – with re-mastered tracks. At the same time, they’re releasing a new CD: “GT 25 - Samtliga Hits!” (“GT 25 - All the Hits!”) [Incidently the same title as the subtitle of the last two greatest hits albums, released in 1989 and 1995.] This album will be relased both as a digi-pack (5769602) and in a normal jewel case (5769592). The scheduled release date is March 24th.

  While it hasn’t been officially announced, The Daily Roxette has reported previously that Per and others have talked about new material that they are recording, so the widespread expectation is that a new album/single/EP will be released later in the spring, just in time to help promote the tour.

  Yes, the summer of 2004 will see Gyllene Tider tour the country of Sweden again. It’s been eight years since they toured with “Återtåget” in 1996… a tour so successful that in Stockholm they had to move from a open-air venue outside of the Naval History Museum (where the Marie Fredriksson concert DVD was filmed) to the Stadion arena as 35,000 people wanted to see the band! Now, everyone in Sweden will have the chance again to experience the band live. The journey in time will continue - with Gyllene Tider playing for a new generation of fans.

  Update March 1: “Kung av sand” was mistakenly omitted from the tracklist.

wow! how great!

Not another GT compilation.. I am SOOOOO tired of it. *yaaaaawwwn*
@Judith: LOL

LOL

Another “Best Of”. But HEY, this time, its remastered!

EMI knows, how to get money from their customers over and over again for the same OLD songs.

Not anymore, thanks...

hej! we even have to thank them this time for not including unreleased songs in the yet another compilation ;)

This made my day!

Right Judith!
Anyway, looking forward to the tour!

Yay! Småstad made it! Booyah! ^_^

SB

i’m happy :)

Thank you EMI, Per, etc. that I can save my money and don’t have to by a new CD. Now guess why!

Oh c’mon, where have all the promised new tracks gone? And why do they want to release the first GT album again? That one was already rereleased in 2000.

According to the record # this is the Gyllene Tider digi-pack that was released in 2000. But as said so many times before, don’t buy the records if you don’t like them. There will be the new single/EP/album to get so get just that then and be satisfied. Please.

will be cheaper to get an EP/Single than a CD anyway ;)

Again and again and again and again...

Poor “Ernold Same”, his days stay the same, today will always be tomorrow...

Well WHAT can I say.... ermmmmmmmmm I think everyone else has covered it... **yawns**

This is taking the piss big STYLE...

Greatest hits again???????? They could at least use a cover with a brand new picture or?...but I didnt’ expect notging new if you see all those last Roxette collections.
It’s boring all this.

It took me two years to find the last best of CD .
This time it won´t be worth searching.

I think it doesn’t work... if this time does not again: i’m ktoto and wrote the last two messages... :P

well, good there’s no new songs in the compilation

They screwed the albums by making them double CDs!!!
Resellers add too much to the price when it’s 2 cds. :(

cool, this way I’ll actually have more money for concert tickets - great!

I guess I’m the only one happy here, because I don’t have any Gyllene CD (except THC), so maybe this is my chance to get them. I say “maybe” because all depends of their prices :(

the releases suck biiig time. :(

I am only waiting for the EP then, hoping the songs will breathe in some new positive energy!!

Of course, with the possible exception of Roxlander, these reissues aren’t being released for the benefit of a single person on this page...

I wish those of you who bother to get upset by these things would step back for a second and think about who the target audience for these re-releases might be. The sooner you realise these releases are intended for the general Swedish public and not for you - the big Gyllene Tider fan - the happier you will be. It’s downright shocking to me that they DIDN’T include the new songs on the reissues to boost their sales, and I can only assume that this is because the band wanted to distance their former selves from their current selves, and not piss off loyal fans who would have to fork out for a full price CD just to get the new songs. I’m just surprised that EMI allowed them to do it.

knowing how many people have bought the past compilations + albums in the “big GT times” .. I wonder who is left in Sweden to buy these albums :D

You are right on the one hand, the albums are not for us, the hardcore fans. BTW, I’m not a hardore fan of GT at all, I don’t have any GT album. Ok, neverthelass I know the songs:-) Although I’m not realy a GT fan I was looking forward to a new album anyway. Probably I was expecting too much. I think the problem is that we just got tooooooooo many best-offs, except Per’s Mazarin. The release is great for those who don’t have the album yet. But how many people don’t have it yet? Me and maybe 20 others. Wow, so it will also be released for me. I should be be a bit more grateful ;-)
Yes, we don’t have to buy it but again, this is not about buying or not buying it. If you count the discussions about buying or not you will see how often we had to be tolerant in the near or not so near past. Tolerance is ok, but how much tolerance has been expected form us for such a long time? I’m just sick of being tolerant.

i think the strangest thing is that they have faller ner på knä included and kung av sand excluded

I think indeed, as mentioned before, that these re-releases are for the new fans, who don’t hafve any GT.
The new songs are on a new album, what more could we want.
If it [the new songs] would have been placed on the re-release it would have been worse, because then you would have to buy a CD with a lot of tracks you already have, just for those new songs.

well, I´m terribly angry because we have another “the best hits” (Per is a very naughty boy) but I´m terribly happy for those 3 albums re-released! I´ve always been imaging Moderna Tider and Puls at the same format of GT 20 years! so I think that idea is really cool! :D
besides I think we´re gonna get a “new summer EP” with 4-5 tracks and a first DVD. Anyway, it seems we will have a lot of new material on this year :) Great News; I think :) but I repeat: I´m angry for that compilation :)

rxt ballads hits - 2002

rxt pop hits - 2003

gt 25th anniversary - 2004

is marie going to release a new greatest hits too?

——————————————————
does somebody knows if will Roxette back next year?

Even though I know it is a rip off, I will still buy them! maybe not when they are released.... but I will sure have them at some point in the summer!

It’s not a rip-off, it’s just a simple compilation! If there were new songs on it, everybody would moan that they had to buy the whole album for it. Now you either want the old songs or you don’t buy it. New songs will come out seperately, a nice treat!

Oh no, not another compilation... I start hating this word... )))-:

next gr hits. maybe will be Per in 2005?

marie 2000
rox 2002 and 2003

gt 2004

per 2005?

What´s that “rockfile” thingie?

i think the tracklisting is pretty stupid... kungs av sand is legt out....

but the cover i good... and I will buy the digipak

I hadn’t noticed that the compilation omitted “Kung Av Sand” but includes “Faller Ner Pa Kna”... how stupid! I wonder if it’s just an error?

OHHHHH come on! not another best of... that´s so boring. If they have to make another best of, they should have make it with new songs! It´s somehow stupid to release that album now and later the single. You will see, in the autumn after the tour they will release that best of album together with the new songs....

i am happy with this compilation – it’s gonna be my first gyllene tider record cos i only have a few mp3s of GT but no album till now... so this cd is for people like me (c;

I agree with joyrider here. I may very well pick up this compilation of GT hits. It’s funny because I had this craving for “Gå & fiska!” a few weeks back and remembered how much I love that song - although I don’t understand a word. It’s such a good, catchy track! I’ve also downloaded a few other tracks from GT that I’ve quite liked. So I’m slightly excited about this release.

Don’t like it - don’t buy it, very simple. Let the ones who do like it be happy.

i accually don’t consider konstpaus a compilation, because it is like a new album to me.... I had not heard most of the songs on it before I bought it...

ah well, let’s look forward the new songs and the tour :)

Of course you don’t have to buy records you don’t want to..and I won’t....(at least not the remastered CD’s...I’m happy with my swedish pressings from 1900)

But what really p.... me on is the way the musicbusiness seems to work these days.
EMI seem to take Gyllene Tider as a “golden cow” to milk.
Instead of supporting new talented acts they try to make money with the “good old artists” who guarantee QUALITY MUSIC.
But okay...of course..it’s for all the new fans out there (ROFL)

I’m sure the GT-guys will have some great new songs for us soon. Then it’s getting really interesing!

The entire music industry releases compilations - Why shouldn’t EMI Sweden? I could justify all the recent releases until the cows come home (for milking, as the case may be), but some of you just won’t accept that Gyllene Tider - a group that has been out of the charts for some years now - needs to regain fans with reminders of their past success.

Personally, I’d be offended if EMI didn’t bother to re-release GT’s songs - It would be a shame if EMI allowed GT’s releases to become out-of-touch with the latest CD designs. The CDs need to look fresh to compete with the newest releases by the newest groups.

EMI recognise the talent in some old songs we all happen to love.

Stop being so bloody negative about it.

muuuuuuhhhh - let’s see how the sales go ;)

I understand to certain extent that there’s a Beatles release every year with the same over and over again (about), but well, those can’t get together to release *new* stuff, can they? And then one can’t compare the Beatles with GT ;)

Argh and meanwhile the artist I wish would release her (old) albums re-mastered or some of her only-available-on-LP albums on CD.. doesn’t!!!!

As said before, thanks for not releasing the new songs in the compilation - this way I save 18€ and just have to pay for the single (always counting there will be an EP or something similar out) :D

Who would buy this? I thought everyone in Sweden already had these songs. If they didn’t like it in ’96 why would they buy it now?

I agree with Roxgirl (first reaction): Gimme some tourdates instead. It’s been a while since the Ullevi (and other stadium-) plans were revealed. Need to plan my holidays...

so if it was a mistake to leave out Kung Av Sand... will they change it?!

...probably not....

Kung av sand IS in :)

For a Greatest Hits with no new songs the track-listing is good - “Faller ner på knä” is one of my favourites so it seems fresh to include it - I’m with Tev on this one: “Don’t like it - don’t buy it, very simple” - given that the CD has no new songs then if you don’t like it you don’t have to buy it - surely this is better than feeling you have to buy it for one new song, then feeling ripped off - now you can choose - there will be new songs this summer, and after listening to “Konstpaus” all day I’m really excited - all the best, Rich

@ Criz (with the lovely stars around your name):

I wasn’t referring to you as being bloody negative - Moreso other people in general. I then addressed some comments you made.

I see I didn’t make it clear as to what, or who, I was replying to -Sorry for any confusion.

Don’t forget that these compilations of established artists are the industries way to generate money for pushing new artists who are not paying of yet. Only a minority of all signed artists is earning money for the biz. They have to pay for all the unknown and less commercial ones.

No milking = no new releases. That’s the way it has been the last century!

Okay, EMI needs money, so what should be done:

Release the 6th Compilation-Record (there are more GT-Compilations than studio-albums!!!) of a band.
PRODUCTION COSTS: Zero
Selling-Price: Like a NEW Album.
And, of course, copy-controlled.

Okay, the positive thing:
They did not put X-tra-Tracks on the compilation to suck the fans’ money out of their bags. (No one except people like us are stupid enough, to buy money for the same songs again and again, just to get one new).
So this release is okay to me, because it makes sense to have a Best Of-Compilation being up to date, but to deliver the new material on an extra CD.

So let’s wait for the new Songs :-)

He He Hej

There´s NO POINT in releasing this compilation... they released several ones in the past and if ANYONE in Sweden (even the non Gt fans like us) wants a GT album just go to a store and get it... why don´t they buy “Halmstads Parlor” or “Konstpaus” or “Instant Hits” for example ? Why another compilation ? Why not releasing something new like an “Unrealeased Demos” kind of thing ?

Boring boring boring... they lost it definitely !!

I probably have more compilations albuns in my Rox/GT/PG/MF collection than studio albuns... that´s pathetic.

I hope that GT at least release a whole new album and not only a simple EP... if they can release again around 70 old songs, they can release 15 new ones and not just 4-5.

Come on !!!
LoneGunman

Do you think that the release of this album indicates that an EP is more likely than a full studio album this year or do you think it has no relevance to what will be released subsequently? Many thanks, Rich

I see CDON have the albums on site to order!

Another best of?? Oh, thank you!

Per thinks his fans buy everything and THIS ist the easiest way to make money!

Come on, Per, you CAN do more! Nobody needs another compilation!

Everybody is talking about the compilation, but ...

What about Gyllene Tider, Moderna Tider and Puls ?

Is the new “Gyllene Tider” release the same digipack released a couple of years ago (the same CD1 as the Kompata Tider release + Billy EP as CD2). Isn’t this the 4th release of this LP ? (the 1st original LP, the kompacta tider CD version, the 20 year digipack, and this one).

Why are the Extra Tracks on “Moderna Tider” and “Puls” on a 2nd CD if in the Kompacta Tider releases they fit in 1 CD each perfectly ? Are they “copy controlled” ? (i believe it needs some additional space).
