When the news about this Night of the Prom-thing reached me, I got one thing on my mind. Now it make sense releasing these compliation albums! It´s a natural thing to do, they will reach a whole new kind of public and hopefully these people will get interested about listening to more Roxette-music. And what is the first thing they would by? A compliation-album of course! With a bunch of new songs it´s perfect! Maybe it´s not what we old fans wish the most, but I´m sure this is the best way for Roxette to get back to the top again.
So: A big excuse to Per and Marie for all the angry words last week! Guess I´m the fool not understanding there was something much bigger behind the record-plans than just a wish to release a 20:th edition of “The Look”!!

but still there’s no need for 2 CDS... a double cd + a bonus (for free) with the new songs would “fit” me better...

if they were looking for a good thing a box set would be better

Oh please...
Just because they’ll be playing a couple of venues in Belgium, Holland and Germany is not an excuse for releasing yet another Greatest Hits compilation. Besides, I believe this CD will be released worldwide, even in countries where nobody knows anything about this NOTP thing.
Why don’t they just release an EP or QUIT? I can’t believe Roxette and their management are making so many mistakes, wich BTW are the source of their ultimate downfall. It’s just pathetic...
Roxette is SO over.

PEOPLE DON’T NEED ROXETTE’s OLD HITS!
hey, everybody who likes roxette has their greates hits album DBU... or a little collection of dowloaded songs and who haven’t, can listen to all their big hits daily on the radio.
roxette should be more creative, maybe release a live album or double album and then wait 1 or 2 years and come up with the “up to the latest sound”-sounding and the most “uninfluenced” powerpop album ever!
roxette are getting cheap with time - the more compilation-albums the cheaper is a band in my opinion. here in austria and germany we have those “schlager-stars” - after every normal album comes a greates hits collection - so called: “the very best”, “best ballads”, “the best of the best” “collection”, “best collection” ... oh noooooooo!
roxette is bringing nothing exclusive anymore - that’s bad!
