The Daily Roxette

Roxette World Tour 2011 schedule

More countries sign up for the upcoming Roxette releases

Written by Rox-Van on September 27, 2006 to .

Holland, Switzerland, Poland and Spain have all decided to release the new Roxette material – the “Hits” CDs and the Rox Box. Some countries will release a physical single, some will stay with a digital-only release.

  The Daily Roxette has also learned that the limited edition CD/DVD will not be in the digipak format, but rather the super jewel box format. The super jewel box is the one normally found on SACDs (Super Audio CD) and it has thicker plastic with rounded corners.

  “A stronger, more durable replacement for the traditional ’jewel box’ CD case,” according to the makers.

Grasi said on :

I´m very happy for all those additional countries releasing the box & GH!!!!

... and sad because it won´t be a digipack :(

Anyway, this “super jewel case” looks fine :)

PS: I found this: http://images.auctionworks.com/hi/73/72962/roxettehits2.jpg

Is it the real back cover of the GH album?

MiracleMan said on :

darkhamster said on :

@tomos85: How do you know it’s that cheap??

roxtexanet said on :

@MiracleMan: Canada will be getting the GH and deluxe GH, October 19th (no word yet on the Rox Box... wouldn’t count on it!).

whateveriam said on :

’what the hell is a digi pak anyone tell me ? i love jewel box cd case. iv got some, get and strong.’

Its those cardboard jobbies, you know with the plastic bit inside to rest the CD on?

Fernando_O said on :

Great! Hope the next step will be not only in packing (jewel boxes.. ) but also include tracks (songs/videos...) remastered in 5.1 or dts... that will be an intelligent way of offering old tracks in a brand new version (no one has roxette songs in multichannel cause both dvd’s are DD stereo..) Perhaps in the next GH (be sure there will be more hahaha LOL)
Greats news indeed! The joyride continues after all...

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Yes, that’s the real back sleeve.

roxboy2006 said on :

The final count-DOWN!! Anyone knows how will be the price of the GH´S and especially the ROX BOX???Thanks
PD:Come back before you leave...!!!

samudra said on :

UK still has no release date for Rox Box as far as i could tell. However orded it from Sweden.

Personally not a big fan of super jewel cases. many recent albums have been released with this case. Unfortunatelly it is very dificult to remove the booklet.

darkhamster said on :

@tomos85: Thanx a lot! I feel somewhat ashamed I haven’t checked it myself:) Anyway, 160 PLN is only a half of what I expected it to cost!

tomos85 said on :

@Rox Van

Yepp, I’ve seen this. It was sent to many medias in Poland which published this information on their websites :-)

Rox-Van said on :

Congratulations, ... I’m still waiting for the confirmation of these editions in sites of EMI Argentina or Chile ;/

etrejos said on :

For all canadians waiting for a domestic release of the Roxbox, here’s some info I got from EMI Canada:

“This was slated to be released in Canada on Oct 24th through EMI Special Imports,
but unfortunately EMI Sweden as decided not to release the NTSC version.
I don’t know if this applies to the European PAL version?

just a side note we now have Per Gessle “Son Of A Plummer ” available in Canada through Special Imports.”

Way to go EMI! >:(

Grasi said on :

Tevensso & room-service: thanks for your replies!

etrejos:

:((((

This is also a bad news for the brazilian fans, cos we use the NTSC system here... If Canada would release the box, in this format, we would have more chances of seeing the box here.
Maybe EMI Brazil will release it here only when it´ll be released in the States.. if it will really happen...

substitute said on :

Great!!
I want ALL the releases!!

etrejos said on :

@Grasi:

If EMI Sweden decided not to release a NTSC version of the Roxbox I think it goes for all the divisions. After all, EMI Sweden calls the shots when it comes to Rox, doesn’t it?

And at this point is unknown who’s releasing the GH in the US, but I doubt they’re interested in releasing the Roxbox.

sweepi said on :

Portugal is another country adding to the list. :) Though, this time around, and according to the info I received last from EMI Portugal, we’ll be getting the Greatest Hits album only (in both the standard and deluxe editions) but sadly not the single and neither (at least not at this moment) the RoxBox. :/ Release date for the album in Portugal, October 18.

roxlad said on :

Mmmmm.... I hate that stupid jewel box, first because it has a lot of plastic and the back insert is highly affected by cutting it, second because the spine is vert small and looks stupid with other standard jewel cases but most of all because to take the disc out you need a lot of patience if you don’t want to break it as it gets stuck in there!
It took me, and I’m not joking, 20 minutes to take t.A.T.u. best cd out of the case!!!!

About the Polish issue if it’s that cheap I suggest fan.pl to everybody. I have ordered a few things already from there and they are reliable (and I don’t live in Poland).

AURYTE said on :

I’d just like to ask: could anyone tell me when these Roxette releases will be released in Denmark? Will it be the 16th, 18th or... of October?

roxlad said on :

According to an Estonian shop, the dvd of the deluxe edition includes the MTV Unplugged too...

coyboyusa said on :

Was that decision on no NTSC version for all territories? If so, why the hell don’t they just not make the DVD regionally coded? Wow, that’s disappointing to people who don’t want to just view the DVD on their computer at home or on a laptop

Room_service said on :

In Argentina, the commercially available DVD’s and the DVD players are NTSC, while the TV system is still PAL-N (as it always was). So, to watch TV you have to set the TV in PAL-N, but if you are going to watch a DVD, you have to switch the TV to NTSC. I have always wondered the reason for this, because in the 90’s, all the VHS tapes were PAL.

Anyway, fans from USA and Canada could order the the Box from Argentina, cause it will be NTSC. And remember 1 dollar is like 3 Argentinian pesos, what makes it really cheap.

Regarding those “super jewel boxes”, I am suspicious. If it gets broken, where the hell you’ll find a replacement? I’d prefer a digipak, that looks very cute and never gets broken! Well, it gets worn if you are not careful enough, but that’s something you can avoid in you put it in a plastic protective sleeve.

Fernando_O said on :

That’s right, all comercial dvds here in ARG are in NTCS, so it’d definitively be released in both format depending on the country/area.
By the way, in the estonian page they’ve used the same list for the dvd in the Roxbox and in the Deluxe edition. If the deluxe will include 18 videos it can not be the same as the one included in the Box (which claims ALL the videos which are much more...) On the other hand it’s reasonable (and cheaper for the company...) to use the same dvd for both editions... We’ll see...

suusje said on :

YES!!!!!!!!! GO Holland!

tevensso (moderator) said on :

I’m 99% sure that this DVD (these DVDs) are not region coded.

eBay said on :

Well roxette are not the only ones using jewel box’ CD case now.. The Scissor sisters latest album is in same format and I much prefer it..

queenmicky said on :

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME THAT THIS WILL BE RELEASED IN SOUTH AFRICA AS WELL!!!!

C’MON, I NEED SOME GOOD NEWS...

RobS said on :

I’m glad it’s not in a digipak, i’m not a fan of them. But i don’t really like this super jewel case thing either.

Good to see more countries coming on board for a release.

Baby-C said on :

Just wanna say that I really like this super jewel case. I only have one album with this, but as soon as I saw it, I wondered why not all artists use this jewel case instead of the regular one. It just looks so much better.

pwbbounce (moderator) said on :

Still no word on a UK release for the Box? Hmm. Looks like it’s gonna have to be an import job then

Txiqui said on :

I’ve been in one of the biggest shops in spain (el corte ingles) and they told me that they will be selling roxette’s new single next monday. The best thing was that the guy that gave me the information new who roxette are, and new about the single, he told me that the cover was quite funny and full of colors, so i guess he has allready seen the single.

I will try to find time to go to buy it next monday.
