Do you think it would be cheaper here in Europe?

Well bear in mind that Marie Fredriksson - The Change is $21.09 also - it may be cheaper here !! But I expect 25 - 50 UK pounds personally !!!

The michael jackson boxset with 4 cds + dvd is around $ 160 (U$S 48), so I think it’s extremely expensive if you compare this boxset to others released in the same way

Did you guys notice this description?
Box set of recordings from Roxette’s Capitol Records era includes four CDs of ***their greatest htis (including two new recordings)***, unreleased demo recordings, 14 rarities and more for a total of 78 songs. Also features one DVD with their complete music video collection and complete footage of Roxette’s MTV Unplugged set. *Unless otherwise indicated, DVDs are region-2 encoded (Japan, Europe, and Middle East), and carry no subtitles.
So, it’s 4 CDs plus a DVD, for a total of 5 discs (assuming this is correct) and... it looks like they’ve thrown in the GH as one of the discs (which is fine, because we all thought it was 3 CDs + 1 DVD anyway).
Let the bitching begin! (er... continue, I mean)

Yes, and it probably won’t be only the Capitol recordings....that would leave out a LOT ;)

I don’t think the price seems that bad, when converting to $AU it works out to about $22 per disc, which is alot less than buying single discs ($30).
My only problem is whether we will get a local release here in Australia, i’d like to buy local rather than an import if i can - even though it’ll be an import anyway.

Hmmm, while on ’All videos ever mad and more’ we got all videos made by Roxette back then plus two documentaries, so now we’ll have all Rox videos plus MTV Unplugged ;-) So the quality of picture we’ll be the same as it was on “Making of...” and “Really Roxette”.
And, unfortunately, it’s a normal price for the box set... But I hope it’ll be worth it (especially if those 14 songs will be truely unreleased and if we get *whole* MTVshow ;-)

So the new GH is indeed included in the box. That means there’s no need to buy it separately.
I have checked a few music shops in Italy and it looks like both TBH and TPH are deleted now! Even on CDON you cannot get them anymore.

TBH & TPH are going to be deleted from the EMI Catalogue, as well as the old DBU

Don’t think it will be so much anyway -
Roxette Hits (AMAZON.de) EUR 14,99 http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B000H5TVO4/303-3120217-6585866?v=glance&...
so the box will proabably be a little less expensive too !!

@ Arnie -Oh, rats! Hopefully not before I buy TPH for a friend of mine!

20 us$ and 15 € is almost the same amount. So the price in europe can be as high as in japan.
arnie said on August 18, 2006 11:40:
Oh my god, U$S 82 for the rox box!!!!
