Wikipedia:

The cover art for the new single will show Per and Marie in a bowling alley:

1. (which has shown to be very controversial among fans for its poor quality)

The new video will be made up of new and old images from different music videos by roxette over the years. Unreleased Tracks included in the huge Rox Box collection are: Reveal, One Wish, New World, Staring at the Ground (demo), Myths, Cry (demo), Love Spins, and many more. The second new song featured in the forthcoming greatest hits album is called “Reveal”.

2. Many fans feel they have been sold short as the rox box is 75% made up of past album tracks is 3 songs never heard before only.

and who updated that I wonder...

Sascha said on :

I think a dictionary shouldn’t be the place for personal opinions. It’s just for facts! Someone should edit that out. Nobody knows how many fans are really disappointed/overjoyed! And the single cover is still NOT confirmed by Rox or EMI to be the final version...

miss-misery said on :

Maybe the person who updated Wikipedia was among all those who are complaining, and complaining, and complaining everyday about the Box :)

The sleeve IS the correct one!

abysmo said on :

The sleeve picture is good, it´s good idea, but these stars and titles, two different fonts, too big, touching Marie´s head. As I said, it´s good idea behind this sleeve, but the final feeling looks like it is little bit shoddy. That´s the main problem. But don´t talk about sleeve, hope that we will talk about song. I believe it will be great song.

Sascha said on :

Where did you get confirmation that it’s not a work-in-progress version? I found it only in the rox20 gallery, not the discography...

bevi said on :

Exactly, a dictionary should be more objective and not talking about personal opinion... we are killing Roxette, is that what we want?

purplemedusa said on :

Sascha .... maybe u should find a dictionary and look up what it actually is! BTW It’s a FACT that many fans ONLINE was upset! Duh!

chrisjankunas said on :

Someone seems to have made it objective now !

abysmo said on :

OK, some things could be inconsistent but I think it´s time to swallow these details and look into the future. We said everything, it´s nothing to add. And if we want to discuss, we can discuss about the music. Hope we´ll forget the sleeve when we´ll hear the song.

Sascha said on :

I know what a dictionary is! That’s the reason why many people see that whole wiki thing quite sceptic. I could easily go to wikipedia and add another sentence: “Many fans instantly fall in love with that wonderful uplifting single cover.” Cool, huh?

btw. I hate the cover. ;-)

Edit: Sorry, I just mixed the words. dictionary = Wörterbuch, encyclopedia = Lexikon in german. That doesn’t change my opinion.

StephenDH said on :

1. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a dictionary.

2. This has got totally out of hand seriously, the way this is going I have a feeling there isn’t going to be anymore Roxette after this. I hope that I am wrong. I’m trying personally to be as positive about this as possible for myself.

3. Fan made negative publicity is the last thing a band needs so that crap off wikipedia should be erased.

4. I’m sure i’m going to get cyber-bashed for these comments, oh well.

chrisjankunas said on :

It HAS been taken down by someone.

pwbbounce (moderator) said on :

@StephenDH - I’m totally with you. What do you expect the critics to be like if the “fans” are dissing the band???

purplemedusa said on :

Good thing someone started this thread, now I can copy&paste it back! *evil grin*

Nah seriously not going slit my wrists over the latest events... and choose to believe that the magic will return; I think I was WAY to spoiled with Per & Helena’s adventures... jeez still can’t put the Dancing Plumber CD down!!

rox-kuryliw said on :

interesting points, i think roxette need to be careful to please the fans they have a find /get back old ones. hard for them to do. BUt they could handle it better.

And that one wish cover YUK no wonder Aussie arent getting the single lol I bet EMI saw that shity cover i thought no one is gonna buy this, I dont blame them one bit.

RJ1976 said on :

I like the new covers.... Much better than the old ones...
How do you do was a bad cover.... This is GREAT :)

Roxette-atic said on :

I guess im one of the few who REALLY likes the sleeve for “One Wish”. They look so happy in taht pic :D
