B-Side only Rox-Medley?? C’mon, put some remix es or the demo on the single!!! NOBODY will buy a 2-track Single on this times of filesharing.
Just look at the German Single charts. 4 Songs + the video is standard!
And if the single is no hit, nobody will geht notice of the Greatest Hits. And then we’ve got the next (and last?) flop.

How noble...
2 tracks only came about here to save a dying format in the UK...physical singles sell very little here, so there is no point wasting money on a nice plush 4 track jobbie, when you are still going to sell the same as you would if it was a 2 track...
I don’t know where everywhere else is like though

i still think IMHBL remix should be there too. and if god exists, then crush on you almighty remix should also be included.

Single format is great for presenting new song, demo of this song and video of this song in one collection. If you add some b-side, it´s only OK.
But releasing singles with single plus one old record (Medley is old, I think everybody have it) is very studpid. Particularly in iTunes times when you can buy single and download it. EMI and others killing single format. It´s sad, it´s stupid. What else can I say...

I couldn’t agree more - pointless...but a collector will buy it nevertheless. It’s just that the thrill and excitement of getting something “new” is gone. :(

Yes, the fans will buy it.
But don’t we all want a new album with totally new songs? This will only happen, when the single and the album will sell good. And to achieve this, not only the fans have to buy this single and album.
Sorry for me horrible english :-)

sure, but you don’t need to tell me this...i know. I wonder just why Per and Marie treat us so cheaply...i would get over the single issue...but the Rox box tracklist just put me to the grave :(

Just read the tracklisting of Rox-Box.
Okay, now I’m really angry. Forget about me complains about the 2-track Single. This Box is the greatest disappointment in Roxette-History.
I’ll go in the fitness-gym, to get away from this horrible news :-)

I cannot see any success in the UK with the single and that cover!

A white label would get them further than that monstrosity!

What about a cover that says... STEAL THIS RECORD... :)
Its been done before :)
I like the cover... In that case im not that diffycult.. but the box SUCKS BIG TIME !!

Definitely needs a few extra tracks, i think i’ve only got one 2track disc in my collection and that was bought to support a cause!!
I think EMI might be to blame here, i’m sure PG would add a few extras if he was able to.

O C’MON, of course fans will buy it. I personally hate all rox mixes and i’m not fond of the medley either...but I will grin and bear it and buy the single - to complete the collection.
