This issue of The Look Red Vinyl 12” is not the rarest issue of The Look Red Vinyl 12”. The rarest The Look Red Vinyl 12” issue is the issue with a red sleeve and red vinyl but even if the issue of The Look Red Vinyl 12” with a red sleeve and red vinyl is more rare it´s not coast more moneys. But Maybe about 30 SEK.

@Earth: The red 12” The Look doesn’t exist with a red sleeve as far as I know. Have you seen one?
Earth said on January 21, 2006 17:09:
I have seen The Look Red Vinyl 12” with a Red Sleeve and a Red Vinyl. It has the same picture as The Look Red Vinyl 7” with a Red Sleeve and a Red Vinyl
aeu2003 said on January 21, 2006 20:05:
What? I mean - about red sleeve The Look12”? Where? Thank you.
per_mson said on January 22, 2006 08:30:
Hmmm, aha... during all my years as a collector I have never ever seen it. Where did you see it then? On a fair or something?
Earth said on January 22, 2006 09:27:
I have seen The Look Red Vinyl 12” with a Red Sleeve and a red Vinyl on Roadhouze Records in Helsingborg, On tradera and on Black Mágic in Halmstad I think.

@ Earth:
I’m sorry but you are completely wrong about this. EMI have never made any copies of “The Look” red vinyl 12” with a “red” sleeve. I know 100% that you are wrong because I have been at the Swedish EMI office when I was working with the book “The Look for Roxette”. We checked every Swedish release very thoroughly and they have never made any copy like the one you describe.
Also, I have been a record collector for about 25 years and I have never seen a record like the one you describe.
Best regards
Robert Thorselius
per_mson said on January 23, 2006 14:04:
Thanks Robban for clearing that up. I’ve, as I said, never seen one either so I must say I was a bit “huh?”.
But what did you really see then Earth? ;)

Hey maybe he’s colorblind - can’t really blame him then!!
Earth said on January 23, 2006 19:22:
I will show The Look Red Vinyl 12” with a Red Sleeve and a Red Vinyl next time I see it on a link for example on tradera or ebay.
Earth said on January 23, 2006 19:36:
I forgot to write that it was only the picture sleeve which was red. Not on the back of the sleeve. Only Red colour on the front of the sleeve. It´s white colour on the back of the sleeve.
robban said on January 24, 2006 10:15:
Yes, I agree. Please send a link the “next” time you see it for sale.....
It doesn’t exist so I guess we will have to wait for a long time.....
Unless you are referring to the 7” which have a red sleeve?
Earth said on January 25, 2006 12:52:
The Look Red Vinyl 12” with a Red Picture Sleeve and a Red Vinyl has the same Red Picture Sleeve as this issue of The Look Red Vinyl 7” http://www.tradera.com/auction/aid_23545294
purplemedusa said on January 25, 2006 14:04:
Earth - sorry to burst your bubble but THAT auction is a 7”!!
sandyam said on January 25, 2006 14:26:
He is just referring to this auction.
He doesn’t say that this is a picture of a 12” red sleeve.
ATLTK said on February 11, 2006 23:22:
I justed bumped into this site
http://www.planet-roxette.com/discografie/disco.php?total=549&typ2=12&ar...
it says 12” singles and the look red vinyl in mentioned
weird
aeu2003 said on February 12, 2006 10:52:
At the each page you can find:
www.planet-roxette.com ¢í 2000-2005 by Planet Roxette
Kommentare und Priceguide ¢í by PREMIUM PUBLISHING und ROBERT THORSELIUS
but I think someone wrong with the cover of release...
Who are the owner of this page?
sandyam said on February 12, 2006 15:18:
This is weird.
I am also curious to the one who created this site.
If that person really owns this particular record, I’d be very glad to see a photo of it!
per_mson said on February 12, 2006 23:06:
It is not a very complete discography, so I think one have to be a bit scepticle how accurate the pictures are there.
Room_service said on February 13, 2006 01:40:
Robban:
Your so-called brilliant book is not THAT complete. I still remember that pink vinyl of The Look that was published here and in Tradera. It was not mentioned in your book either. Some things are not so easy to trace, and I bet they are not registered in EMI archives either.
sandyam said on February 13, 2006 08:03:
@ Room_service
Why do you always have to be so negative and sarcastic? Of course you are free to post anything you want but the way you say things sometimes sounds very harsh.
robban said on February 13, 2006 09:33:
@ Room_service:
Of course my book is not 100% complete, I’m well aware of that. However, this is the most complete discography available and I know that many collectors are very happy with it.
The reason why the pink 12” of “The Look” was not included in the book is because nobody knew it existed! Sometimes people at the record factories manufacture items which are not supposed to be sold and most of the times they are destroyed. Some similar items have in fact been included in the book (clear vinyl 7” of “The Look”, burgundy vinyl 7” of “Flickan I En Cole Porter-Sång” and yellow vinyl 7” of “Så Länge Det Lyser Mittemot”). Even though these items have not been for sale in shops they actually exist and must therefore be included in the discography.
I know for a fact that EMI did not make any red sleeves for the Swedish red vinyl 12” of “The Look” (I don’t know the reason though). If someone at the printers have made a red sleeve for the 12” without EMI’s knowledge I would be happy to be proven wrong :)
I don’t understand why the discussion regarding this matter continues when everybody seem to agree that no red sleeve exist.....
I appreciate when people contact me regarding items that are missing in the discography but in this case I’m quite convinced that the original posting was based on incorrect information.
Finally I would like to say that I agree with sandyam: there is no need to be so negative and sarcastic Room_service. You don’t even know me and you have no idea how much work I have done to be able to publish the book. Please show a little respect for other people :=)
Watercolours said on February 13, 2006 13:32:
To all you doubters, make your own book and GET A LIFE!!!!!
Room_service said on February 13, 2006 14:41:
The point is: if the pink vinyl was not registered, maybe the 12” with red sleeve was not registered either. I wonder who decided to print those yellow and pink vinyls. EMI workers made them just for fun?
That’s not being negative or sarcastic, I am just pointing something.
Jud (moderator) said on February 14, 2006 06:40:
sandyam and Robban: don’t take R_S too seriously, you won’t find any other kind of posts from her (him?), or let’s say 99% of her posts are only to piss off / negative / only to not agree with the poster above ;)
Nobody said the book is perfect and even Robban asked to please let him know if something is missing in the book, as it might be included in a future 2nd edition of the book or second part or addition or whatever (if I remember right..).. but you have here 2 of the greatest collectors I know (Per and Robban) and I’m pretty sure they are right ;)
robban said on February 15, 2006 08:22:
@ Room_service:
Unfortunately you don’t seem to know much about the process in making a record. The reason there are different coloured vinyl records available is because it is/was quite simple to change the colour of the vinyl. For example, when you make a red vinyl 12” of “The Look” you must first put in red coloured plastic in the machine that manufacture the records. Before you can start making black vinyl records you must empty the machine by inserting (for example) clear vinyl plastic to make sure that all of the red plastic has been removed.
After this you can put in black vinyl plastic and start the process of making a black vinyl 12”.
As you can see there are many opportunities for employees at the record factory to make their own variations of the record....
When you make a record sleeve it is a totally different story. The printers have to make a special master for the sleeve which is quite expensive. This means that is it not very likely that an employee “have fun” and produce their own variation of the sleeve.
Also, keep in mind that the record companies (at least here in Sweden) does not own the record factory or the printing company.
I hope this explains why it is very unlikely that a red 12” sleeve exist......

This is the issue of The Look Red Vinyl 12” with a White Picture Sleeve and with a Red Vinyl.
Earth said on February 24, 2006 19:23:
I´m so much 100% sure that EMI has missing many Roxette & Related issues exept for The Look Red Vinyl 12” With A Red Picture And With Beige Colour On The Back Insert Of The Sleeve And With A Red Vinyl for example:
Ska Vi Älska, Så Ska Vi Älska Till Buddy Holly Swedish Yellow Vinyl 7” With Open Center,
The Konstpaus Medley CD-R Swedish Promotion CD,
Puls Swedish Gatefold Sleeve Promo Stamped LP With The Text Provskiva Får Ej Säljas Stamped On The Sleeve,
Per Gessle Swedish No Gatefold Sleeve Promo Stamped LP With The Text Provskiva Får Ej Säljas Stamped On The Sleeve,
Efter Stormen Swedish Cassette With White Colour On The Cassette And With Blue Text Printed On The Cassette and Den Sjunde Vågen Swedish Cassette With White Colour On The Cassette And With Black Text Printed On The Cassette
It´s quite stupid to say that 1 or more Roxette & Related item/items didn´t do exist and it´s quite stupid to say the meaning It was only released in...
Don´t say these quite stupid 2 things
purplemedusa said on February 24, 2006 20:20:
Earth, unless you can proove it’s exsistance i think it’s time to let it go!
per_mson said on February 24, 2006 20:42:
@Earth: First of all I can inform you that those cassettes you are mentioning also exist in more colour variations. This is most likely nothing EMI ever knew about. I am sure the manufacturer of the cassettes took what colour they had that day when they made them. The design of a cover is a complete different matter. THAT EMI knows about!!
Vinyls with “Provskiva får ej säljas” stamped in their corner are no real promos!!!! Sure, they were maybe sent out as promos to the radio stations, but they are indeed the EXACT same pressings as the vinyls you could buy in the stores. So that is the reason why they are not in the book. Actually it is the same reason as why the Heartland mini LP with a promo stamp is not in there. They are, however, NOT different releases because of that!!
And no matter how sure you are of that this red sleeved 12” exist I still don’t believe in it! I want proof! Send us a picture of one!!
ATLTK said on February 24, 2006 20:51:
per_mson couldnt have said it better myself

I know this is an old topic but I missed it first time around.. I just wanted to see Robban’s book is fantastic... he sure put a lot of time and effort into making this book and I thank him very much for that! :)

If it’s mint or near, I’d say around 500 SEK.
