I hate 2 say this, but I think that the single should not contain the same songs as the album. But it does! And that sucks big time: why would I buy the single when the songs are also on the upcoming album?

@poppy_head: The paper-sleeve single doesn’t...

So, to clear things up:

2 track single: A Thing About You/Weight of the World
3 track single: A Thing About You/Weight of the World/ATAY video

Kind of boring yes, I totally agree. :P

As I stated in the comments section on the front page, I will be extremely disappointed if EMI/Roxette only include 3 tracks (1 of which is the enhanced video) for the maxi-single release. Any person with any common sense of good marketing would know that the more previously unreleased tracks included on such a maxi-single release will more so “encourage” people to buy such a release and thus, help further “promote” Roxette. Hey, I think some of us would even settle for an interview. I’m sure there’s much out there that could be included. So why limit it to only 3 tracks?

*shame*

In any case, I guess I’ll wait and see if more is included before I rant too much. ;)

If I remember correctly...

Some markets are only permitted a certain number of tracks on single releases in order to qualify for the sales charts.

I don’t think the track list is going to change at all... think about “The Centre of the heart” only two tracks.... boooring. First they said they would release two single versions, one with a lot of remixes and one with just two songs. Well, the remixes I never saw anywhere at all and couldn’t order it anywhere, and I tried it everywhere!!! So maybe this is going to be the same for a thing about you, that we actually only get to see the boring one, with only two songs, that would be typical for rox...

Both “Wish I Could Fly” and “The Center Of The Heart” had *two* CD-single issues, the 2nd one with remixes...

I do hope we´ll see a remix CD this time as well, or even better a Live EP with 3-5 bonus live tracks...

I’m also disappointed, for Roxette-fans the maxi isn’t interesting at all. Well, it’s great to have the video, but I think they should have published another unreleased track or - as some others have suggested live songs from Room Service Tour.

It seems like EMI is very successful in doing mistakes...

Wake up EMI! As for a limited number of tracks for certain territories, that’s very true. I think it mostly applies to the UK market. Take the “Wish I Could Fly” 2-CD single set, for example: One had 3 tracks and the other had 4 tracks. So, limits on time/tracks is not the case here. Rather it’s lack of proper marketing. Sometimes I wish I could be in charge of such a position. I just don’t understand why record companies do such things sometimes.

Yes it sucks!

Where is “I was so lucky (The golden blow)”?
It could be in the ATAY single

What is EMI? A group of dunkies?

It would be better not to release an extra EP, and use this 3 new songs for B-sides for the “ATAY” and “Breathe” singles.

the idea to include the ATAY video is very very good, other companies should do this with their singlers.

Where are “Salvation” and “MATAH” videos?
Nice to find them in the ATAY single

EMI don’t take it personal, but... you are pathetic
