MTV Unplugged

Hej Roxette fans. I guess I’m a bit behind the times but they say better late than never.

I am trying to find a DVD with the MTV Unplugged session. I know it’s on the DVD that comes with Roxbox. According to Wikipedia (!) Tracks: 1 - 23 MTV Unplugged.

However, there’s a badly seeded torrent going round that claims to be Roxette MTV Unplugged. I’ve downloaded it and it looks pretty good and has a nice menu structure, etc. However this only has the MTV unplugged songs on it and doesn’t look like a rip from Roxbox. Can you buy this?

So in short, what’s going on here? What official releases are there?

I would very much like to buy (new) the real thing but Roxbox is sold out everywhere I’ve looked (UK and Sweden). Interesting, just noticed the sponsored ad on this site claims to have it for 499 SEK.

Please post a link if this has been discussed before.

The DVD you mention is not real. The only real Rox Unplugged DVD is the one from the RoxBox. (And rather bad at that, quality wise.)
I may have a RoxBox for sale, I’ll have to look though.

Thanks for that. I’ve checked a bit further and the track list seems to match the first 23 tracks from the Rox Box DVD and fits on a single layer DVD. Audio is good, video quality is poor.

I’m still interested in picking up the official box set though. Has anyone seen it around? I’m mostly based in Göteborg right now if anyone knows any decent shops there.

I hardly believe the RoxBox is sold out, as it was not a mega-seller anywhere. It’s still available at CDON and Megastore.se and you might find some copies in Ebay as well.

Someones ripped the disc from the RoxBox and made their own Unplugged disc. I was planning on doing the same but sort of forgot about it. Mainly because i hate that damn double-sided disc! What were they thinking?!

I don’t think the RoxBox would be sold out, but i’d say it would have been produced in limited amounts, seeing as it isn’t a standard release.

Hope you can get a copy.

Believe it or not, I have not purchased the ’mighty’ RoxBox, hehe. I was so pissed off by the bad tracklist that I decided I’d buy it after the price has dropped. It has not happened yet, so here I am (lol)
