Last year Roxette, this year Marie.

So I believe that there will be a Gessle-Best-Of Compilation Christmas next year. What about a double-CD, one with the Swedish and one with the English hits? And maybe a limited edition with unreleased stuff and a DVD with the videos.

I remember that I predicted very well an “updated” follow-up-DVD for “All videos ever made”. Honestly, it was just a joke, but nevertheless I was right :-)

So let’s see if this will be the case for “Gessle-Best Of”, too. There is so far no “real” best of-compilation of him, so I believe this might come in 2008.

What do you think? What’s the next compilation in the “Rox & Related”-Releases?
(you prognoses need not to be deadly serious :-))

Well, personally I would LOVE a greatest hits compilation from Per!! Just because I’m not that familiar with his older solo stuff. Yes, a cd in English and another in Swedish - great idea!!

Rox-related. Well... Another greatest hits compilation would really be too much, BUT I, personally, would LOVE a 2cd compilation called “All The Singles Ever Released, 1986 to 2007”. Then, they should release ALL the singles they released - even “I Want You” and “Fireworks”....

The tracklist should be like this:

1. Soul Deep
2. I Call Your Name
3. Neverending Love
4. Goodbye To You
5. It Must Have Been Love [Christmas For The Broken-Hearted]
6. I Want You
7. Dressed For Success
8. Chances
9. The Look
10. Listen To Your Heart
11. Dangerous
12. It Must Have Been Love
13. Joyride
15. Fading Like A Flower
16. The Big L.
17. Spending My Time
18. Church Of Your Heart
19. How Do You Do!
20. Fingertips ’93
21. Queen Of Rain
22. Almost Unreal
23. Crash! Boom! Bang!
24. Sleeping In My Car
25. Run To You
26. Vulnerable
27. Fireworks
28. June Afternoon
29. You Don’t Understand Me
30. She Doesn’t LIve Here Anymore
31. Un Dia Sin Ti
32. No Se Si Es Amor
33. Wish I Could Fly
34. Anyone
35. Stars
36. Salvation
37. Real Sugar
38. The Centre Of The Heart
39. Milk And Toast And Honey
40. A Thing About You
41. Opportunity Nox
42. One Wish
43. Reveal
44. The RoxMedley

Did I leave anything out?

We don’t need another Roxette compilation at the moment. But such a double disc will be released someday by EMI, do you wanna bet? Luckily, I see no new tracks so if you have all the songs already there’s no need to purchase it.

The problem is there’s no space enough on one CD to hold 22 songs. It might be limited to 18 + 18 = 36 song in total. Personally, I think that both versions of IMHBL in the same CD is too much of the same (they are almost indentical). People might not notice the slightly differences only the fans are aware of, and they might wonder why the same song appears twice here. The Spanish versions have no much to do do/add either. Well, you can keep ’Un día sin ti’ if you want. But ’No sé si es amor’... no, thank you!

Maybe ’The Lonely Boys’-the best of compilation?

I agree - It’s going to be Per next. Something different, we’ve never had a proper Best Of from him, so might be good!! As long as there are some new tracks on as well!
