Made myself a CD of Roxette’s alternative versions...
(vague enough to include all sorts of material : remixes, radio edits, live &/or acoustic versions, etc...)
Tracklisting of first CD is as follow :
01 - 2 Cinnamon Street
02 - Wish I Could Fly (Radio Edit)
03 - Crazy About You (Crash!Boom!Bang! Version)
04 - Anyone (Radio Edit)
05 - Oh Marie
06 - It Will Take A Long Long Time (Modern Rock Version)
07 - Salvation (Single Version)
08 - Stars (Almighty 7” Mix)
09 - See Me (Remix)
10 - You Don’t Understand Me (Acoustic Abbey Road Version)
11 - Fading Like A Flower (Live Version)
12 - Cooper (Closer To God Version)
What do you think ??

i have to say single versions are so boring they usually rip out the best part of the song :)

No, no, no copy protection (laughs) !
You’re right though... it is short.
I don’t know how to explain that : the idea is basically to do an “alternative album” not so much of an extensive collection if you know what I mean...
I’ll try to find enough stuff to fill another “AV” sometime.
As for the single edits, some people may find them boring but the point is they ARE alternative versions (and sometimes quite well edited as well, ie “Crash!Boom!Bang!”, “Vulnerable”, “Salvation”...)

What’s wrong with the “alternative” term ?
Why don’t you agree ??
s-czopek said on February 20, 2003 18:09:
Yeah...
I kinda agree on that one but I felt it was the perfect #2 song on the CD and since I didn’t want to put a dance remix of it on THAT CD I had to go for the single edit.

I just was thinking that “radio edits” and “single versions” are not very much “alternative”.
Also you’ve got 8 ballads out of 12 songs... and Oh Marie is not a Roxette song. I don’t like it much, sorry :$

Look at me, all naive !!
I thought people were going to go nuts about my own private compilation CD and I came up with soooo much criticism !!! (Laughs)
YES, lots of ballads on this “Alternative Roxette” CD but keep strongly in mind that there’s going to be an “Alternative Roxette” vol. 2 !!

I hope it’s “The Powerpop “alternative” HITS” :D Let us know ;)

It’s gonna be so great you’ll wish you had not given so many bad reviews on the first one ! (Laughs)
Believe me...

Nice but too short. :) 18 songs or more. (Or do you have copy protection? Ha ha!)
