Cool! How anout Taiwan editions?

xuseam said on February 19, 2004 07:22:

O! The price of each DBU an TBH in HDCD is US $4.99 . It seems to much higher. I don’t know where is the website from.
I’ve bought both of them in my city, Shanghai, each of them is aroud $ 1.
But judging their poor paking, they are only worth $ 1.

But I don’t think they are official CDs, the official CDs in China is at least sold at $ 6, such as HAND and RS.

This one many of you are talking about, the HDCD format.

Believe me, it is a pirated one.

Seems that you are representing the copyright owner to judge those CDs’ authenticity.

By the way, have you obtained permission for downloading or broadcasting the material from your website? Just can’t find any notes about it.

Eight8t ,
Sorry! I just found you are from Hongkong.
It is a little stupid to talk with you here in English, you know what I mean, my English is very poor. Something I cant explain very clear in English.

I also answer you here about the some details of my assumptios in another topic.

First, I want to tell you, Two CDs Have A nice Day and Room Serive I mentioned are not sold at low prices. They are the highest standard price of a domestic CD, RMB 58 Yuan, of course, except imported CD, RMB 132 Yuan.
Years go by, these two never turn into discount.

I am actually not representing the copyright owner to judge those CDs’ authenticity. But I’ve collect many Roxette CDs in domestic official releases or different pirated version. I think I can judge whether the two HDCDs are offical releases or not.

Since I’v already talked with many roxers in mainland about the Ballad hits HDCD we’ve bought.
We almost regarded it as a pirated one.

Here is the best proof for another HDCD, Don’t Bore Us.
Five years ago, I bought Don’t Bore Us CD released by Shanghai Shengxiang Record Company. it cost RMB 58 Yuan.
Now a HDCD of Don’t Bore Us is released by another domestic Record Company in Yunnan.
It’s only sold at RMB 8 Yuan.
I don’t think there will be two domestic company releasing a same Roxette Album, even it’s a HDCD.
Until today, there is still no a domestic company intends to release THB and TPH in CD.
I’m born in Yunnan, I don’t believe there will be a Record Company in Yunnan would have bought copyright to release a Roxette HDCD.l
One thing is most important. Comparing two pakcing of DBU, they use the same Chinese Introduction in openning and the same Chinese Comment after each song’s lyric. It’s obivously that the later HDCD copies from the fomer one. It’s impossible for two different Record company to translate English into same Chinese, writing in the packing.

As to some downloadings on my site, I admit that many are official releases and from other roxette sites. You maybe not know how hard for roxers in mainland to buy a roxette Items. There is no chance to buy any video items & early releases (before 1995) & solos. I upload these only for most Chinese Roxers, also including roxers having the same situation as we are in other countries.
But I tried my best to buy official releases. Many my Roxette CDs also were bought from HMV in Hongkong. I also helped some roxers who live in small cities in China to buy the domestic official releases.

Eight8t ,
If you want to chat with me much more, please add my MSN: [email protected]

Talking in Chinese is really good!

What’s ’The Gold Hits’???? Released by EMI????

Majdy said on February 25, 2004 06:00:

I am not surprised that in China, u can find “The Gold Hits”.

in Indonesia (where I live now), before Roxette release Greatest Hits, we can find CD The Best Of Roxette. It’s also contains “So Far Away”, I guess that’s because the song WAS ao popular here in 1992.

Eight8t said on March 1, 2004 06:04:

Ally77,
Thank you. When you receive the CDs, it’s fine if you could post some comments.

Just got a low price (I would not say “cheap”) “Room Service”. Share it here first. It’s not yet arrived.

I am not willing to hang on the subject of authenticity. No interest and no time. I think you pals here are smart enough to judge. Thank you.
