Tracklists Spinning Around

Have you ever thought that some of the albums should have had a different order of the tracks or should some of the songs have been left totally out? And maybe replaced with some other songs from that period?
For HAND I would have gone with 13 tracks:
1. Crush on you
2. You can’t put... (the album should keep going with an up-tempo beat)
3. Anyone, 4. Waiting for the rain, 5. It will take a long long time
6. Happy together (a finalised version of course...And didn’t some uk reviewer say he thought HT was stronger than WICF?)
7. 7twenty7, 8. Salvation, 9. Pay the price
10. Stars, 11. Staring at the ground
12. Wish I could fly (it sounds like a ’night, night’ song, doesn’t it:-)
13. Beautiful things

Just out of curiosity: You say that you want a finished version of Happy Together, so does that mean that the HT version on the Wish I Could Fly single isn´t finished?

as i can see they don’t call HT a demo... it’s a finished song....

maybe it isn’t listed as a ’demo’ on the single sleeve but does it really sound like a finished song? i don’t think so. that’s why it isn’t on the record ;)
anyway, wouldn’t anyone like to mess with the past a bit?

happy together is perfect!
And the version in the WICF single is the final version.

Hmmm...for HAND, I just think that “It Hurts” should have been included.

Crash!Boom!Bang!
1. Harleys & Indians
2. Run To you
3. Fireworks
4. Do You Wanna Go The Whole Way?
5. Sleeping In My Car
6. Crash! Boom! Bang!
7. First Girl On The Moon
8. I Love The Sound Of Crashing Guitars
9. Vulnerable
10. What’s She Like?
11. Lies
12. I’m Sorry
13. Love Is All (Shine Your Light On Me)
14. Go To Sleep
Hmm... My point is that C!B!B! doesn’t fit between H&I and Fireworks...
Edit: Vulnerable added:)

@ JoyRidErno
Pretty interesting...But what happened to Vulnerable? ;) Anyway, putting a song like Do You Wanna Go in the upper part of the album is good since on the original all the stronger songs (eg singles) are tracks 2-6. It gives more balance to the record.

@Animalkingdom: Yes, agree with you. C!B!B! has a lot of ballads, so I decided to drop Place Your Love... (And added the missing Vulnerable:)
What’s She Like?, Lies Or I’m Sorry were perfect song for singles...:|

@animalkingdom No matter what that reporter said I still think of WICF as a great song(UK #11) and according to many people not usually supporting P&M it was Roxette of its best. I know that blaming WICF wasn’t the purpose here but I only had a reason to say nice things about it:)
And as for HT, I like it very much but I don’t think it was good enough for the radio. Well, maybe a finished one should.......
Rox On!
