Two last question about the Rox-Box (I know they have been discussed before, but perhaps the people from TDR can tell the truth about them?)
- Why don’t include Crush on you? So many songs from HAND but not the one, the fans love? And that could have been a success if released as a single?
- Why are officially released versions (always breaking ... 7twenty7) marked as unreleased?

Always breaking my heart wasn’t released as a Roxette song, so that’s the excuse to put it there. It seems it was meant to be a Roxette song after it was rejected by Belinda Carlisle.
Why all those great songs never make it? Who makes those bad decisions?

Always breaking my heart wasn’t rejected by Belinda. It made number 7 in the UK singles charts!

@grox: it was released on a single from the “World according to gessle” ... So there’s no excuse.
On their 30-anniversary there will a release:
Rox Box II: the songs that didn’t make it on Rox Box I + 1 new Song :-)

You’re on the right path, starting to think like Per.
Now you should think about your nickname, with the one you’ve got at the moment you may jeopardize your future as a Rox fan, if you know what I mean ;)

Perhaps I should chance my nick into:
C’mon fool us

then again your assuming its the same versions as were perviously relased for all you know it could be a roxette recorded version...i am not gonna really make a big judgement on the box anymore until i have it
and for all you guys who keep prodding that another gh was pers idea remember emi weanted something for rox 20...woudl you have rather they had nothing new to offer at all? if marie hand’t gona and said hey lets go record a few tracks we’d have NOTHING...sometimes the greed and selfishness here is stiffling

Reply to the first question:
- They have to keep some of the best songs exclusively in the original CDs, otherwise they won’t be able to release the remastered CDs for the 25th anniversary if you’ve got all that matters on the box :)
