Does anyone know if the EP version’s of TBH/TPH contain sleeve notes on those bonus tracks? I’d very much apprepriate it if someone could post them... :)

I remember, before I got the 2000 US edition of DBU,GTTC, I was wondering if those other songs had sleeve notes. Well... they do! So, for anyone who doesn’t have them... here they are! :)

WISH I COULD FLY
PG: Quite an anonymous track in my book until it hit the studio. There it transformed into something really magestic. It became, of course, the first single off the Have A Nice Day album and the 7th most played song on European radio in 1999. Christoffer is playing the most incredible bass guitar on this one. And Jonas Akerund delivered an amazing video for us. Yet again! MF: A very special song to me. One of my all time favourite Roxette songs. I never get tired of this. A very strong lyric, too.

STARS
PG: Oh yes, this is one of our finst moments... also from the Have A Nice Day album. I just love this mish-mash between the technobeat and the childrens choir. I think it’s gorgeous. The first time I heard a children’s choir on record was when I was really young and I stumbled into Keith West’s superb “Excerpt from a Teenage Opera”. One of my favourite singles from the 60’s. Try to find it, it’s worth it! MF: Yea, this is a cool track. My daughter loves it... it’s quite young. We shot the video for Stars with Anton Corbijn, and it was such a hilerious experience. I found myself in the water, singing to a rubber duck!

CHURCH OF YOUR HEART
PG: This was the follow-up single to “Spending My Time” in the US. We never considered it to be a big one but the record company saw it thru different eyes. Turned out to be a medium hit, tho. MF: Yea, but it’s a nice song. You wrote many like this in those days, 12-stringed Rickenbacker and nice harmonies in the chorus. PG: Yes, I did. I tend to like that style. It’s in my blood almost. We did a great version of this at MTV Unplugged a couple of years ago. Just our voices, my harmonica and an old organ. That was far-out!

There are no changes to anything else, except the main blurb says “14 years, 40 million albums, 15 million singles”.
