Roxette’s “All Videos” DVD to be updated with new clips
Written by roxeteer on September 24, 2003 to Releases.
Per Gessle was asked a short comment on Roxette’s future by Aftonbladet. “We are waiting until Marie knows what she wants to do and how she’s coping. But the next thing is that we’ll update the DVD with the latest singles,” Per says.
Roxette unveiled their first - and so far the only - DVD release in 2001, aptly titled “All Videos Ever Made & More - Roxette The Complete Collection 1987-2001”. The DVD contains the 35 “official” music videos they had released, five previously unreleased video clips and two documentaries.

Hope they ad more than two video’s...
Maybe some solo stuff
Jud (moderator) said on September 24, 2003 14:51:
yet another release with THE SAME??
I hope they do NOT just add the new videos to the DVD and leave it as a “second edition”.. but make a brand new with some other interesting stuff... but I guess that is asking for too much ;)
ally77 said on September 24, 2003 15:02:
I don’t think I will even buy just for the sake of say two extra videos... I might look a bit daft!
daniel_alv said on September 24, 2003 15:05:
they can’t be serious! They have to mean that they will make a new DVD with those to included....
Roxlander said on September 24, 2003 16:09:
This is not fair. That DVD is expensive enough, and now we have to buy the same one just for two videos. I love Roxette, but those are the kind of things I’ll never agree. For example there are about 10 versions of just one single, and you should spend a lot of money to have them all. I would like to buy them all, but I don’t, and I won’t. They should release very different stuff to make them worth to buy, ’cause fans aren’t as rich as Per :-p
Kiwein1 said on September 24, 2003 16:23:
I can’t believe it! Do they really want to release the same stuff AGAIN? With two more videos on it?? Nobody will buy it..the fans already have both new videos..and ppl who aren’t fans won’t also buy it, because they probably have the 2001 release. And if they don’t have but are interested the will buy the “old one” on eBay, I guess.
What the hell is going on? They can’t be serious about that. I, as a fan, feel kind of betrayed..sorry, but things like that make me really angry!!
Lennon said on September 24, 2003 16:36:
I’m a GENIUS!
Maybe I should become a fortune teller. Do you remember the thread “Roxette’s Future Releases”.
I made some comments about future releases being obviously ironic (at least I thought so).
But this “joke” seems to become true.
I won’t buy the DVD again because of two new clips. The record-company and Roxette-Management must come up with something better.
A Room-Service-Concert + the new Videos, that would be better.
I hope noone will support this, if it should REALLY be an identic release except the new clips.
daniel_alv said on September 24, 2003 16:39:
Roxlander: well said! Give us something new instead... give us a DVD with a live concert and those two clips!
Grasi said on September 24, 2003 16:43:
hummm... maybe this is the reason EMI Brazil didn´t release it yet!
(this year they started to pass a advertising on the TV about the brazilian release of the DVD but they still don´t have any dates...)
ally77 said on September 24, 2003 16:43:
Yeah now that would be good... RS live + the extra videos... that will be worth buying!!
Kiwein1 said on September 24, 2003 16:45:
We should start a petition and stop this thing before it starts rolling! (-;
I don’t want the same DVD again - I want a live DVD.
rox-girl said on September 24, 2003 16:50:
Is this a joke? Can´t beleave it that it should be true. Who would buy it? I think most of the fans allready have the DVD. It makes only sence if they put some buonus materieal on the new DVD. :X
Kiwein1 said on September 24, 2003 16:56:
@Anonymous: Maybe you’re right, maybe they just need some more money..
Can you hear it ring, it makes you wanna sing
You’ll live like a king, with lots of money and things:
Ka-ching!
rox-kuryliw said on September 24, 2003 17:17:
Im really getting cross with roxette if this isnt a per joke!!!, tallk about
’ TAKING AS MUCH FROM LOYAL FANS AS POSSABLE’
If they care for there fans they would Be Room service live with the new videos, if not it just very wrong in my view. hope people agree with me.
rox-kuryliw said on September 24, 2003 17:20:
PS no way near the end of roxette. just look at blondie still going on, they are just taking a break that it.
m-cvk said on September 24, 2003 17:21:
I’m not going to buy the DVD if it’s the same + the new videos....nothing really new, so why buy it?
I’d support a petition!
Oliver said on September 24, 2003 17:27:
PLEASE RELEASE A LIVE CONCERT FROM THE ROOM SERVICE TOUR (+ the latest singles). THAT´S IT! IS THERE ANYBODY INTERESTED IN BUYING THE SAME DVD AGAIN? I DON´T THINK SO. IT´S REALLY JUST ABOUT MAKING MONEY. :-(
geytenbeek said on September 24, 2003 18:20:
How many times is Per still gonna make me buy “the look”? Come on, PLEASE release a DVD with the JTJ tour, MTV unpluged, CBB live and the RS tour. You can add the two new singles as an extra to the DVD!
Some time ago there was some fans compaling there own DVD in the discussion section of the Daily roxette. Marie D put a stop to it with an email to the guy making the DVD, maybe it is time for us to email her back with a DVD request...
purplemedusa said on September 24, 2003 18:22:
Hey great news... another (DVD) re-release... they make gr8 coasters, you know!!

Kecho said on September 24, 2003 19:28:
I thought that the worst thing Roxette did was to re-release Dont Bore Us... Then they released another Greatest hits compilations...
And now after the DVD 97-01 they want to do the same thing with little change: 97-03? Very stupid idea to try to repeat something like was Don’t bore us... re-release action...
Jud (moderator) said on September 24, 2003 19:52:
LOLOL Kiwein :D:D:D
We should make a boicot (?? spelling??) :D:D
*starting a campaign “DON’t buy it”* :P
LaMan said on September 24, 2003 20:02:
Kiwein: nice pic ;)
what about us that already bought a DVD? I missed A Thing About You and ON videos but I´m not gonna buy a dvd again for 2 videos!
Per stop playing with our feelings please! We supported you during the years the way we could. Please don´t cash us again and again.
At least release a few tracks from RS live tour along with ON and ATAY!
gyllene_tjej said on September 24, 2003 20:12:
I decided not to comment it any further before we get any further details, but I can’t resist.
Per: if the whole project will only come down to adding two clips to exactly the same DVD we already have, then, FORGET the idea! It will just be waste of money and time, why market a product almost noone will buy... Would YOU be interested in such?...
Liesebieke said on September 24, 2003 20:44:
It’s all about business, and nothing more!
If you won’t buy it, just don’t... Nobody is pushing you, you’re not obliges to purchase just because you’re a fan!
The material to be realeased on that DVD is probably decided for a long time ago so all your requests to Mr Gessle are useless.
First: he won’t read it,
Second: he doesn’t care,
Third: the record company will be happy to be sure of another million of DVD’s to be sold!
Fourth: Per and his family will be happy with the money and success
Business is business! Just like that!
Kiwein1 said on September 24, 2003 20:46:
I think that he reads it - didn’t they change the LOVE PIES to BALLAD HITS after reading the comments here? *g*
Parre said on September 24, 2003 20:57:
@ anonymous so you will buy it, fine, do it, but there are maybe some fans here in the whole wide world who havent the money to buy a dvd twice !!!!!
@ liesebieke
Third: the record company will be happy to be sure of another million of DVD’s to be sold!
are you sure millions of THAT dvd will be sold, i dont think so, see above
sorry for emi and per, but im out
greetings
Ferdan said on September 24, 2003 20:59:
Maybe he’s ashamed of the quality of the previous release, and they’re gonna make a better one... with better sampling quality etc...
*thumbs down* if it is otherwise
colinvdbel (moderator) said on September 24, 2003 21:16:
Well, they can ofcourse still include the video’s, but instead of those documentaries maybe some live material???
gyllene_tjej said on September 24, 2003 21:16:
@Anonymous: detta om Pers skjorta behövdes inte skrivas här... även om det var roligt! :)
fayv said on September 24, 2003 21:24:
I hope when the updated version of the dvd is released, it’s relesed region code 0. I have the current dvd but can only play it on my computer. It would also be nice if they added the video for the Look ’95.
Denstandigaresan said on September 24, 2003 21:31:
Why is it whenever something like this arrives, someone always has to put in, ’not as rich as Per’... AND????
I wish for ONCE he wouldn’t get blamed for everything!
He works hard for that money... if you can’t afford this, don’t get it!! I haven’t had the money to buy things for a good while so I don’t!
If you have to question it, you can’t afford it!
I do agree, it’s a bit sudden to re-release it, but Roxette are not the first, CD’s are re-released every week with just one extra song on. And they certainly won’t be the last!
daniel_alv said on September 24, 2003 22:47:
Can’t they do like the live hits?
All the songs from TBH and TPH live, and the videos for ATAY and ON + one other concert (like Crash boom live or something)
Starrox said on September 24, 2003 23:36:
@fayv: AVEMAM ist RC0! Your problem probably is the fact that the DVD’s PAL and you need NTSC....
kiwijazza said on September 24, 2003 23:51:
It’s moments like these that I’m glad I was too poor to buy the first one. Now I can get them all at once! :)
Grasi said on September 25, 2003 02:14:
I´d like to know from where Daily Roxette knew Per was talking about the “All videos” DVD... Per only mentioned there will be an “uptaded DVD with the most recent singles” but didn´t say it was the “All videos” DVD he was talking about. Maybe he´s telling about a new release, with updated stuff... I really hope so!!!
It´s very confuse this information...
This is what he told, in swedish:
“Per Gessle och Marie Fredriksson kommer inte själva att motta priset. Fredriksson är sjukskriven året ut och vad Roxette har att bjuda på i framtiden är ännu inte klart.
- Vi avvaktar tills Marie fått känna efter vad hon vill och hur hon mår. Men närmast kommer en uppdaterad dvd med de senaste singlarna, säger Gessle” (Aftonbladet)
Hotblooded said on September 25, 2003 05:02:
I don’t think I’ll buy it if it’s a measly two new videos it will have to have something more for me to spend my hard earned money on it ;) I mean what’s gonna happen in 3-4 years if they have a few more new videos?? Update it again and then we have to buy it again...those days are over for me!
Give us something totally new or nothing at all.
BTW I agree that we shouldn’t jump to conclusions who knows what Per meant and anyway my main concern is that Marie returns to top health I couldn’t care less about a new Roxette album.
TheRain1981 said on September 25, 2003 05:20:
“Maybe he’s ashamed of the quality of the previous release, and they’re gonna make a better one... with better sampling quality etc...
*thumbs down* if it is otherwise”
Hopefully this is the case. I was disappointed with the quality of the older videos on the DVD. They should have been remastered! However, considering how many videos we got in addition to the documentaries, I’m not surprised by the lack of quality. It should have been a 2-disc DVD set - so that there would have been room for the all the videos digitally remastered with remastered sound quality as well.
I think we should wait for more details before we jump to conclusions.
Zargo said on September 25, 2003 06:16:
Also put the TWATG singles on it, plus ’teaser japanese’ and maybe a few easter eggs, then it’ll be a winner!
Jud (moderator) said on September 25, 2003 07:01:
well it says “update”.. if he meant a new dvd, he would say “a new dvd with new stuff and the latest videos”????
Didn’t Rox have the rights on some (4???) Unplugged songs? maybe time to use them? And what about a digitalized Look sharp Live, or at least the CBB + some RS tracks? THe Sthlm concert was recorded (and available thru the net), so I guess it can’t be thaaat difficult to add some tracks.. :S
Sure it’s our choice to purchase it - but many here are collectors and just to go on with their collection, they will have to buy it, 25€ for the same? :S
I’d rather have a new album (whenever) with an extra DVD with the new videos ...
Sparvogamarie said on September 25, 2003 07:33:
Kiwein: funny banner! Laughing my ass off!
Maybe Per meant like a mini DVD with a few tracks on it? EMI would be crazy to spend money on re-releasing a DVD with only 2 new tracks. Who the hell will buy it??
Anyway I guess nobody is forcing us to buy it, and if the collectors wanna spend their money on it they can (I know a guy who has 8 different versions of WICF, collectors don’t care so much about spending money on stupid stuff!) And like Hotblooded said, Marie’s health is more important than a DVD!
JimPhelps said on September 25, 2003 07:47:
Why Per does such a good work (album, dvd, tour, ...), when he is solo,
but Roxette do such unlogical and bad things.... ???
*SNIEF*
silberfinger said on September 25, 2003 07:54:
thats exactly what i thought all the time when this discussion started...
RobS said on September 25, 2003 08:19:
I agree with Ferdan & TheRain1981. If it’s gonna be updated with just the 2 new clips, then it should be done properly with high quality remastered versions of all the old clips (LookSharp vids are terrible quality), preferably on 2 discs with a discography and the alternate versions of AU and IMHBL, doco’s from HAND & RS and even a few solo songs wouldn’t hurt. (and no spelling errors)
Or it even better would be Live DVD of some sort with a whole bunch of extras :)
But i guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
koookai said on September 25, 2003 08:42:
Well, the re-release would mean that the DVD did sell quite well.
Anyways, I’m sure they’ll come up with something more interesting than just adding the two new videos. Let’s wait and see!
Sascha said on September 25, 2003 09:41:
Just wait for full details! Whatever it will be - you’re not forced to buy it... I’d be fine if they updated the DVD every year with the latest stuff. Here and then you could pick the latest edition when it’s worth it.
Kiwein1 said on September 25, 2003 09:57:
Exactly: when it’s worth it! But don’t you have already the ATAY and ON clip?? It’s nothing new for us, is it? So, it’s definitely not worth about 25 EUR.
Kiwein1 said on September 25, 2003 10:20:
I won’t buy it, too!
My problem is that I can’t believe that they really wanna do that..they’re making fun of us, aren’t they? They want to take all the money we have with crappy ideas, that’s my problem, since I thought that Rox aren’t THAT commercial.
Yeah, life’s a hard one, isn’t it! (-;
yoona said on September 25, 2003 10:48:
Per maybe needs some more clothes, he has only one shirt and one pair of shues .....that´s why he needs the money.
I ´m just kidding.
Jud (moderator) said on September 25, 2003 11:04:
and Roxette isn’t one of those disappeared bands yet! I mean, Beatles and ABBA and Elvis.. they release albums again and again with remastered songs, new “found-lost-in-the-last-drawer-of-the-desk-of-Elvis-oncle’s-brother” songs, now we have to “celebrate the 50 aniversary of the first day Björn played his first note on the piano his dad bought him when he was just 5” etc etc.. but Roxette is *still* a band ... what will be when they are not anymore????
snape said on September 25, 2003 11:05:
Maybe this new DVD is going to be a Re-Release which is only available at Mc Donald’s Restaurants?
;-)
“One BigMac and the crappy DVD from the Sellout-Band, please”
Kiwein1 said on September 25, 2003 11:10:
@Snape: LOL! Yeah, that would be great - I think I would buy it then *eg*
coyboyusa said on September 25, 2003 11:51:
this is bull shit for all the international fans who spend their hard earned money to buy stuff that is re-wored every 4 years jesuys christ!
imazombieinthem... said on September 25, 2003 12:56:
I’ll buy it. Its is getting out of date considering it says 1987-2001 on the cover. And it would be nice to see the other to see the other 2 videos. The DVD in Australia I saw and bought for $20 australian, big loss. Seems to be quite a few tight asses around. Everything that is released isn’t meant for us fans. I think an updated DVD is a good idea.
mertz said on September 25, 2003 13:42:
I think an opdated dvd with only 2 videos is stupid i wont by it!!!
If they make a new dvd with room service live or mtv unplugged crash boom live or some other interviews or behind the scens then I defently would by it
StillFar said on September 25, 2003 13:49:
I have the feeling that they will release a TBH DVD / TPH DVD. I don’t think ’All Videos’ will be updated...for two videos? How stupid can EMI be, all the printing & distributen costs...nah!
moriferko said on September 25, 2003 13:55:
I guess it’s excellent news for all rox fans! I do hope, as well, it won’t include such few extras though! The latest videos are, of course, welcome, but it would be great if it included more documentaries, rarities e.g.: the making of some videos etc. Please consider it from a businessman’s point of view! You know, the more extras, the bigger chance to buy it in such a great number! Please also think of those who have already bought it! Thanx! Wish MARIE all the best! Bye
Rich-UK said on September 25, 2003 14:10:
A double TBH and TPH DVDs would be cool if it had some rarities and live footage from the Room Service tour.
The DVD re-issue sounds as if it could be crap but, hey, let’s wait and see what it is before we complain any more.
ATLTK said on September 25, 2003 14:44:
the daily roxette; tell us the trutjh please search for the truth
Liesebieke said on September 25, 2003 15:08:
MTV Unplugged 1993?
This is indeed one of the shows I’d like to see in digital version one day. Roxette Unplugged is never broadcasted on VH1, although they show almost all MTV Unplugged shows from the 90ies, bought from MTV (and thank God, without many irritating publicity breaks).
I recorded the show 10 years ago but the quality of old VHS tapes is so poor... So I never ever watch it anymore.
thenicekai said on September 25, 2003 15:40:
Now that Roxette are doing a rather long break, I would call it logical to update the DVD. So it can be a Best-of from the start till 2003. If there is a comeback of Roxette, we will surely experience another kind of music. Marie will probably do some sad songs as well as songs full of live. Per hopefully recognized that a song needn’t be overproduced to be a hit. Maybe, there will even be an almost-accoustic-album? Nobody will know.
You don’t have to buy an updated version. ATAY-video came along with its single. And ON will surely be published on the next single. As usual. Right, it’s only MPEG quality, but who cares?
On the other hand, it would be great to include the two missing videos in a further cd-release (perhaps a cd-dvd-bundle as with mazarin). Let us not prejudice Per, for he surely will come and explain his plans. (Hopefully, he will. Would be great.)
I bought the All-Videos-DVD this spring. I didn’t even have a DVD player by then. And yes, I think Roxette should have waited with its release until the both best ofs and the singles came out. Nobody is perfect.
It is not worth being angry on anyone.
Keep on thinking!
Kai
Emil__BG said on September 25, 2003 15:41:
Lets wait for details..
but if all this is truth i won’t buy the new DVD...
it’s pointless..
Give us a live show mr Gessle!!!
PiR_GeSSLe said on September 25, 2003 16:28:
I don’t have the 2001 DVD, but I would be really angry if I had it and it was re-released with 2 more videos.
The best thing to do (in my opinion) would be TBH DVD + TPH DVD incluiding ALL the previous videos, BUT also new material e.g. solo stuff, live unreleased recordings, those “promo-videos” with M&P talking about the albums (HAND and RS had those!), interviews, etc.
Subtitles in Spanish, Portuguese, English, German and others for those would be superb for the songs’ lyrics and interviews.
I don’t know how long the “Join The Flummeride” movie is but it could be incluided as well...
Just my opinion ... hope Marie, Per and the management make the right choice!
Dragonox said on September 25, 2003 22:47:
a new DVD will be good but yea it should include new stuff... not just two new videos..... why not the MTV-unplugged or a live concert like many have said....... I love Roxette but i want them to release something new .. not just the same......
roxtexanet said on September 26, 2003 06:27:
Maybe we should be thinking of this as simply a re-issue... the first edition is probably sold out or nearly sold out in most places and rather than printing a second run Rox and EMI just decided to spruce it up a little. As somebody said earlier, not everything is made for the fans - this sounds more like something for the back catalogue to me. Really, nothing to get upset about, EMI wouldn’t bother releasing a second edition if the only sales they could count on were from die-hard collectors, I would think. Hope this version gets released in Canada and South America and all of the other places missed first time round!
Denstandigaresan said on September 26, 2003 10:01:
Quoting TDR, quoting Per.....’Seriously speaking though, Per feels that you don’t have to buy it again if you don’t want to, being confronted with some fans’ reactions to the new plans’
Stick that in yer pipe and smoke it. >:(
Roxette shouldn’t bother. If whatever they do from now is going to get thrown back in their face.
Denstandigaresan said on September 26, 2003 10:03:

well, great per
so when roxette do some new stuff in 2005 or 2006 or whenever, will the dvd update once again and again ??
fantastic, keep on dreaming *angry*

ditroia said on September 27, 2003 03:58:
They’re gonna have to make this a two disc set otherwise the bitrate will be two low. I would buy it agina if.
They include the new 2 Latest Clips.
The Roxette versions of IMHBL and AU
They Remastered some of the earlier clips cos they are not in the best condition.
They Upped the Audio Bitrate on all Videos to 384k
Added a few Extras, EPK’s, Interviews, Docos, DVD-ROM content.

i think a second edition with new stuff will be better!

I’d buy it. Maybe this release will have a better menu screen than the first edition.

@di troia- i think a discography would also be nice, everyone else seems to have one :)
also agree definitely has to be a two disc set.
jnavleris said on September 29, 2003 16:56:
Hopefully, a Region 0 or 1 version for this DVD will be released so fans in the US can enjoy the videos.
elita said on October 3, 2003 19:29:
I think this is not a good idea, believe me, there will be only the two new videos, nothing more.
Now we are in times when everybody hopes that Marie will be the same as before and waiting for new materials. The management thinks that “kicking a dog in its ass” is the best to do now.
Irony said on November 18, 2003 17:56:
They’ve only added 3 new vidoes...
1) opportunity nox
2) A thing about you
I am not sure of no. 3, but I think it is a new version of :
3) The Look
