I gave up waiting for Amazon to locate the Pop Hits (Bonus CD) for now - Roxette has really fadedin the Uk.
I made a “Bonus Hits” album. I added a few tracks that I never really heard up til today
What do people think?
1. The weight of The World
2. It Hurts
3. See Me
4. Every Day
5. Stupid
6. Makin’ Love to You
7. Better Off On Her Own
8. Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah (You Broke My Heart)
9. Entering Your Heart (Extended Version)
10. It Will Take A Long Long Time (Modern Rock)
11. Dressed For Success (New Radio Mix)
12. Cooper (Closer To God)
13. Crazy About You (Crash! Boom! Bang! Version)
14. Almoast Unreal (AC Mix)
15. 2 Cinammon Street
16. The Big L. (US Mix)
17. The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye
I probably could have found sometyhing better than Dressed for Success and The B L but never Mind.
What’s the diiference between Crazy ABout you and the Crash! Boom! Bang! Version ?
What do you lot think ?

Hi,
the difference between the two versions of Crazy About You is mostly the ending...The violin part keeps on going in the end in the CBB version which I think is nicer. However, in my opinion the other version that’s included on the YDUM single sounds more finished...
Nice CD you’ve got there; you could reconsider the running order of the songs, though :)

I did a similar version I called The Extra Hits: Bonus, B-sides & More—
1. Opportunity Nox
2. A Thing About You
3. Little Miss Sorrow
4. Breathe
5. Stupid
6. The Weight of The World
7. Makin’ Love to You
8. It Hurts
9. Better Off On Her Own
10. See Me
11. Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla (You Broke My Heart)
12. Every Day
13. I Remember You
14. Crazy About You
15. You Don’t Understand Me (Demo—Anyone Single)
16. She Doesn’t Live Here Anymore
17. I Don’t Want To Get Hurt
18. Happy Together
19. Entering Your Heart
Not really “hits”, but I liked the symetry with TBH & TPH, since I culled the first 12 from there. (Mostly gathered the songs that were new on the greatest hits packages—except June afternoon, which was on TPH and the YDUM demo, which I like it better than DBUGTTC or TBH. )

Also the drum loop is a little different on both. The vocal levels on the Crash! version are a little louder in the mix as well.

Wow... we’re all making the same CDs at the same time! ;-)

3 Makin’ Love To You
4 Better Off On Her Own
5 Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla (You Broke My Heart)
6 Little Miss Sorrow
7 Entering Your Heart
8 The Voice
9 Seduce Me
10 A Thing About You
11 The Weight Of The World
12 It Hurts
13 See Me
14 Every Day
15 Breathe
16 Crazy About You
17 Happy Together
18 The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye
I have no idea which version of Crazy About You I have... I have whichever one lasts around 4:00.
I love making these compilations, you discover a lot more songs you like this way - than if you just listen to them on the singles/the MP3’s you d/l. I never thought that there was anything special about The Voice - until now! It’s my favourite track on this CD now! :)

I’m not crazy about “Crazy About You”– it sounds too much like a Backstreet Boy record!
MiracleMan said on February 22, 2005 00:10:
BSB record? Bite your tongue!
I love Crazy About You! I find it rather seductive. They shoud have included it on TB/PH with I Remember You and Happy Together.

Looks nice, but by definition, if it is “Bonus” it can not be “Hits” :D
Besides it starts a bit too slow, doesn’t it? I wouldn’t make a CD that starts with so many ballads. It would get a bit boring just as a start. Do like Roxette used to do with their previous “Greatest Hits”. They put up-tempo/ballad/up-tempo/ballad... and so on. Even in the Cds they used to do that. It makes more sense, the variety.
