Please only mention songs or videos that are known to exist, mentioning the source where you heard about them.
Please don’t include things made up by your imagination (like a 2006 remix of dance away).
things i’d LOVE to find in the rox box:
silver blue recorded live during the look sharp tour (mentioned in the “talking about tourism” cd)
so far away recorded live during the look sharp tour (mentioned in the “talking about tourism” cd)
never is a long time (raggae demo)
perfect day (demo with marie on vocals)
here comes the weekend (demo)
fingertips demo (mentioned in the “talking about tourism” cd)
come back before you leave with alternative intro (mentioned in the “talking about tourism” cd)
things will never be the same piano version (mentioned in the “talking about tourism” cd)
the centre of the heart (rock version) (mentioned in various interviews)
i was so lucky (the golden blow) (mentioned the the “real sugar” cd-single tracklist)
video: run to you (live at top of the pops)
video: anyone (party in the park)
video: stars (slow version live barcelona)
video: spending my time (acoustic live in argentina 1992) => don’t know if it exists
(i know it must be really hard to get the rights to have these released, but we are only wishing!)
things i’d HATE to find in the rox-box:
vulnerable (single version)
the sweet hello, the sad goodbye (i love the song, but it has been released so many times)
crazy about you
happy together (if you want to listen to it without swipping cd singles, you can make your own compilation)
any demo officially released (silver blue/sleeping single/come back before you leave/one is such a lonely number/run to you/crash boom bang/the rain/i’m sorry/vulnerable/sleeping in my car/wish i could fly/anyone/7twenty7/i was so lucky/milk and toast and honey... just to name a few)
“WE DIDN’T WANT TO DO A LIVE ALBUM, BECAUSE LIVE ALBUMS TEND TO BE QUITE BORING, TEND TO BE LIKE GREATEST HITS ALBUMS” (Per Gessle, in “Talking About Tourism”).
“About online releases: Yes, more will follow but I’ve slowed everything down a bit due to the upcoming Rox Box which will contain one full length CD with demos... don’t want to bore people...” (Per Gessle, in http://www2.dailyroxette.com/article.php/2033”

Things I’d hate to find in the Rox box:
The same old songs that are on all the other Greatest Hits albums.

Things I would hate? Well that’s too hard I would say: things I really don’t need:
>the third DVD in a row with all videos ..(yawning to death but we will get it)
>The so..so hard to find B-sites..(gosh..sorry..that I’m a fan and bought every single-CD)
Things I would love:
Everything I don’t know yet! :)

Love to find all songs i never heard and were never released...duh!
Would not need the 27th version of The Look
chrisjankunas said on May 26, 2006 22:17:
I wouldn’t mind the Single version of I don’t want to get hurt altho its proabably just an early fade - would be cool to hear tho.
And Love Is All (Extended promo version) tho someone said it would take up value cd space which i agree with ;)
ALternate takes would be good. Maybe a rerecording of some classics like IMHBL Torurim version - i dont mean to include that but its an example of an exciting alternate take on a song !

I´d like to hear/see some performance in Velez, Argentina, May 1st and 2nd, 1992. ( attendance: 120.000 in 2 nights)
I´d hate to hear/see some new version of The Look ( great song but...is too 80´s).
Go on supporting Roxette.

I’d hate yet ANOTHER IMHBL, Joyride, The Look - well anything I’ve already got more than 2 times!!! I’m not convinced that this boxset is gonna be worth getting really. It’s gonna be REALLY interesting to see what actually makes the final tracklisting
Debora said on May 27, 2006 20:03:
I’d like an autographed plectrum as a gift. (or 2, one by Per and one by Marie)
alexandre100 said on May 27, 2006 23:55:
I would like to know how does “How Can I Take A Chance On You” sound...
mbatalla said on May 28, 2006 07:28:
I would like to hear IMHBL, The Look, Dressed for Success, The Big L... I can’t find a Roxette’s Greatest Hits in the market hahaha...
Robrox said on May 28, 2006 22:53:
The rock version of TCOTH (mentioned by @ ogeid) would be extremely interesting in my opinion. Would love to get that.
I´d hate to find there the normal versions of songs like The Look etc.
And as far as the DVD is concerned, I don´t want to get the videos and those two documentaries again.
But I´d like to get the new video (if there will be one for the new single) and the videos of ATAY and ON (I only have the first DVD). And some TV gigs, interviews, maybe a new interview with Per and Marie talking about that 20 years, backstage material, etc.
Any other suggestions for the DVD?
ogeid said on May 29, 2006 00:42:
i’d LOVE to find in the DVD:
the acoustic set played for the release of TOURISM in Stockholm, with acoustic versions of: SPENDING MY TIME, SO FAR AWAY & HERE COMES THE WEEKEND
“how do you do” performed live for tv during the USA promo for TOURISM (i’ve got it on video, and both per & marie’s vocals are awesome)
the complete MTV Unplugged, including songs played but not broadcasted: FADING LIKE A FLOWER + PERFECT DAY + SPENDING MY TIME + SURRENDER + THE HEART SHAPED SEA
