Some misinformation again on the ROX BOX cover:
- “Rare recordings, demos and much more!”
...?
- “Includes all the hit singles!”
... except “Chances”, “Fingertips ´93”, “Fireworks”, “The Look 1995” and “Un Dia Sin Ti”
- The complete MTV Unplugged show!”
... oh well, 15 out of what ... 20 titles?
Did I mention this pisses me off?
Why not write down the facts, like for example:
“Four CDs of great songs from their 20-year carreer plus 10 rare songs not available before”?
Edit:
Oh, and I´d like to add I´m shocked they indeed use 11-year-old photos for this release... If it had to be old photos, they could´ve improved sales with pictures from the Joyride days...

Gyllene Tider used a picture from the early 80’s for their GH. Nothing wrong with that.
Since this release includes songs from the last 20 years the front picture should also be from that time. The last 20 years. The picture is really cool I think. Either Don’t bore us or Room service has the best photos.
If you compare the bowling alley shoots and DBU/RS you see a big difference. Very professional photos back in the days. ;)

The complete MTV Unplugged show!
That’s correct. The whole broadcasted show, not the whole concert! ;-) I believe the raw video material isn’t available anymore so they had to take the broadcasting.
The cover photo.
Thinking about it, it isn’t so wrong to take a photo from the middle of the 20 years, from close to Roxette’s heyday. And this photo is quite cool and very timeless. Otherwise they may have chosen a picture free cover design like TBH/TPH. I’m happy with it!

Ah nuts...
wait...wasn’t the box going to have a different cover to the GH? I like the pic still though, despite the fact that its 11 years old (how the hell did that happen?)

It’s a nice cover...but it is completely OFF-SYNC with the single cover (which SUCKS big time)...What on earth is going on ?!!!

Who knows? This whole thing makes so little sense to me now...

But Joyride makes them look a little silly to the modern audience. Clownish. The DBUGTTC shoot makes them look cool and edgy to me - I love them !!!!
