I have my RoxBox, and I actually think it’s a really good compilation. It’s not perfect, but I think it does do a good job at giving an overview of their carrer. Now the question is, if you had the complete power to make the RoxBox any way you wanted it, what would you have done?
Personally, I would have gone with the approach of Ballad Hits and Pop Hits, but with extra tracks and as a 5 CD collection like described below. I have burned that compilation myself, and it sounds really great.

13. June Afternoon
14. Crush On You

6. Perfect Day

Interesting - you really focus on the Demos and Live Recordings. Btw. I was cureous - how different is the “guitar solo” version of Physical Fascination from the album version?
whateveriam said on October 21, 2006 14:01:
It is very surreal to hear it for the first time, when you’re used to the album version, but it grows to be cool!!!
Its on Roxetteclub if you wanna listen...
alcibiades said on October 21, 2006 14:22:
Ok cool, I’d really love to hear it. Can you tell me how I get access to this Roxetteclub (I’m not familiar with that site, sorry).
EDIT > Ok I found it through google. Great site, thanks! I’m not sure whether I prefer the normal version of PF or the new, but it’s always fun to have a new version of songs. Didn’t know about 2 Cinnamon Street either. :) I prefer the original, though.

What’s these Breaking Up, Bye Bye Love and Let’s Party? Never heard of them before
Santi said on October 21, 2006 14:42:
They told us Roxette formed in 1986. How would they include material from 1983 then? :D
Should that be included, it would be cool to include “Ingenting av vad du behöver” remastered as well...
