Unbelievable! 12+3 HAND songs in the Rox Box

14 replies

Believe it or not, there are 12 songs from Have A Nice Day + 3 outtakes and guess what’s left out?

Crush On You (!) and Pay The Price.

I dunno how many of the long time fans have read the tracklist carefully, but I did it yesterday and I am still shocked of what I found. It’s outrageous not having these songs included:

I Could Never Give You Up (released on the ’89’s edition and the best duet inmo)

Hotblooded
Knockin’ On Every Door

Keep Me Waiting
Fingertips (or ’93)

Harleys and Indians
Fireworks
Crashing Guitars
Lies

Make My Head Go Pop

Knockin’ On Every Door & Fireworks should have been there - It’s the ultimate Rox Trax!!!!

Well, make up your own box and all the songs you want will be included :P
Everone knows how to burn CDs here, right? :)

I only count 8 + 3 ...
Pretty much though ...

The one song I always hated...

Knockin’ On Every Door

just more proof hand is a friggin awesome album and everything related to it

now that you mention it where is I remember you...friggin killer track and i was disappointed it never made the room service set list.

I’m okay with those songs not being on the roxbox! especially since i have them on their original cds in my rox collection!
Can you believe in my country, theres no pearls of passion cd, that i can find, thats the only cd i need! i better get my rox-radar on and sniff a copy out!

Last night I was totally bored and had nothing important to do. So I decided to make my personal Rox-Box. I’ve changed many tracks, cause I found they didn’t pick the best from each album, looks like the songs were picked randomly. Well, it was a difficult task but this is my tracklist:

I hope you like it. I removed some tracks like “Always Breaking My Heart” because that’s more Gessle solo than Roxette.

Stuff I have added:

05 Pearls Of Passion, it was single B-side.
10 Paint, cause it is a big favourite!
11 Dance Away, cause it is a big favourite!
01 Spending My Time (AC Mix), only released in US promo.
13 Fingertips ’93, it’s a single that was never included in a greatest hits (except Rarities).
15 Sleeping In My Car, the album (longer) version.
16 Crash! Boom! Bang!, the album (longer) version, with the haunting intro. I never liked the single edit.
17 Fireworks (Single Version), only released in the single, not all the people have it.
01 Harleys And Indians (Riders In The Sky), early stated as a single and a big favourite of many fans.
04 Crazy About You (C.B.B. Version), as it was a single B-side and outtake from Crash! Boom! Bang!
10 Crush On You, fans big favourite.
12 Anyone/Alguien, as a nice bilingual medley (in order to have something in Spanish).
14 Salvation (Single Edit), only released in the single, not all the people have it.
15 Pay The Price, released as a single in Japan, fans big favourite.
02 It Will Take A Long Long Time (Modern Rock Version), only released on a single, not all the people have it.
11 Looking For Jane, I prefer this instead of Little Girl...
12 Entering Your Heart, it was a single B-side and outtake from Room Service
19 Remember, cause I like it more than All I Ever Wanted

I removed:

07 Sleeping Single, I love it but is not essential.
17 Watercolours In The Rain, also great but not essential either.
10 Never Is a Long Time, same as above. I’d prefer the faster, demo version.
19 I’m Sorry, not essential. Easily available album track.
07 Always Breaking My Heart, is Gessle solo, no Roxette.
10 You Can’t Put Your Arms Around What’s Already Gone, I like it but is not essential.
11 Waiting For The Rain, not essential.
15 Cooper, I like this song but... is not essential!
11 Little Girl, many fans don’t like this song.

I think that’s all!

room service- i think it will take a long time modern rock version is already in the box :P

02 It Will Take A Long Long Time 4:03 (Single B-side)

tq83, I know. But for some reason I feel that’s the normal album version from HAND! They didn’t say it’s the modern rock version. Anyway, it is not that different! I remember I was expecting a faster, guitar-based version when I got the Real Sugar single. What a disappointment!

no crush on you , yes how strange ! !

It´s not dificult to understand why they have omited songs like the ones you mention. If it had all the good ones, then you (the lot of you) woudn´t need to buy any of the albums they have published. They don´t include this, and that, an these songs... to make you buy the albums anyway.
