@alexandre100: “that only Marie sings”- backing vocals don‘t count? (in What‘sSheLike, BringingMeDownToMyKnees, TheFirstGirlOnTheMoon, LittleGirl, Breathe). Doesn‘t Per sing in Go To Sleep, C!B!B!, Queen Of Rain?
Btw, can someone say what is murmured in the backing vocals of IDon‘tWantToGetHurt, is it Per there?
I‘m gonna record a cd for myself with songs like Stars, CrushOnYou, 727, MakeMyHeadGoPop, Spegelboll.

@Mitya
I think it is kinda obvious that he/she meant, where Marie sings the main parts of the song. Other artists, such a Celine Dion (Just one example) have got backing singers as well, but still, it doesn’t say, it is a song sung by Celine Dion and whoever the backing singer is.. ;-)

Mitya,
your question is completely aswered by eBay (except for my gender: I’m a 24 years old guy...)

@eBay & alexandre100: I understand your point, but just it‘s special for me with Roxette, and if it‘s Per singing backing vocals, or Marie, or Christoffer, it‘s not “whosoever” singing there.
yesterday I heard Celine Dion‘s “A new day has come”, what a beautiful song it is! I think, I will record it for my collection/

@Rich-UK
You placed “It Will Take A Long A Long Time” as the first song of your CD, too! I think it’s the best song to be placed at the first position in a Roxette ballad CD...

One more point:
@Mitya,
Actually, I thought that the thing that could generate some kind of controversy is the fact that Per is REALLY singing at “I Call Your Name” (do you remember? “lie awake under the stars, lie awake under the stars”). When I wrote that “only Marie sings” I meant that Marie’s voice is outstanding in all of the songs!

I’ve just started to make compilations consisting of one track from more-or-less every rox/per/gt/marie album that I own (+ tom petty and some other stuff), and just throwing them together in random order).
It’s great fun, makes the music ’refreshing’ again! :)
alexandre100 said on February 12, 2005 20:39:
I made a compilation CD with the songs “that only Per sings” too!
Here is the tracklist:
01. Church Of Your Heart
02. Jefferson
03. Keep Me Waiting
04. I Love The Sound Of Crashing Guitars
05. Knockin’ On Every Door
06. You Can’t Put Your Arms Around What’s Already Gone
07. Little Miss Sorrow
08. Call Of The Wild
09. The Heart Shaped Sea
10. Place Your Love
11. Cinnamon Street
12. Physical Fascination
13. (I Could Never) Give You Up
14. She Doesn’t Live Here Anymore
15. Opportunity Nox
16. Secrets That She Keeps (Tits & Ass Demo)
17. Cooper
18. It Takes You No Time To Get Here
19. Vulnerable (not-single version)
20. A Thing About You
This compilation is called “Roxette = Per Gessle”,
and the other one with songs “that only Marie sings” is called “Roxette = Marie Fredriksson”. And there’s another one which is called “Roxette = Per & Marie” with songs “that both are singing together”.
What do you guys think about this?
