Are there any Roxette releases in China right now? Have a friend going there on business and thought I could ask her to buy some roxette records or tapes.

Hello! Right now I‘m in China and every day I try so hard to find some releases of Roxette here. Unfortunately recently it‘s very hard to find their cds/dvds here. I‘m in quite big city (Qingdao), more “interational”, but still I only managed to find DVD “DBUGTTC” and “Greatest Hiits” CD. My friend from Shanghai also told me that it‘s getting more difficult to find Roxette. But some time ago he found for me Room Service and Ballad hits. So good luck! :0)

The “Don’t Bore Us” DVD is just a bootleg. I think they used the VHS or LD as the source to make such a DVD.
Regarding the Chinese “Room Service”, there are a couple of versions that include older tracks (from HAND and even older). Those are bootlegs too. I don’t know if any official version of RS was ever released in that territory.
For some reason, I always avoid the Chinese releases. On the other hand, the Taiwanese issues look much better and are oficial.

I think most(90%) China (Not Taiwan) release are bootleg.
Normal CD offical release need $20~40 RMB(around $2~5 US dollars)
And IF EMI didn’t release HDCD in Euro Golden sample, How cloud China release
HDCD format cd?
I suggest not to buy China HDCD because the production didn’t use good procedure for making CD.
They neec cost down so the cd/dvd didn’t have an anti-oxidant cover.
So the cd will oxidant in some days.
And Taiwan release, most are import the cd from EU then add Chinese package or OBI.
TBH/TPH/Hits CD+DVD/CBB/Hands/DBUGTTC are made in Taiwan include CD/DVD/Package.a
