This is my favorite Roxette album, it lived in my CD player for months. Glad you finally got it.

I don’t think it’s so unusual, I waited about seven years before I finally bought Don’t Bore Us Get To The Chorus... :-)

I didn´t buy HAND until 2001 or 2002 either!
Love it! Their best album.

Love it! It’s my 2nd best album after Crash! Boom! Bang! Top track is their best album-ender, Beautiful Things. All the best, Rich

How come 5 to 8 years to buy a CD??? That’s so strange! Is ’cos of availability problems or money issues??? I’m just curious I don’t mean to be nasty :-)))

Well, I discovered Roxette hearing Sleeping In My Car on the radio. I loved it a lot, bought the CBB album.

And then I started buying LS, Joyride and Tourism. Still love CBB the most.

well I think its great for you to finally have it, but I don´t agree with you all who thinks it is the best album. I would rank it together wit Pearls and passion as the “worst” one. But Roxette have never made a album wich would get lower than 4 out of 5 from me.

RoxHard said on November 29, 2004 01:42:

To each their own...

I personally don’t like Joyride that much. There are maybe 5 songs I like, but that’s it...

Majdy said on November 29, 2004 08:50:

@ roxlad :

It took years for me to buy Look Sharp because I just couldn’t find it anywhere :)

and I got my pearls of passion on 1997 too!

LaMan said on November 29, 2004 10:32:

I bought Pearls Of Passion in 2002 (or 2001?)!!!!!
The thing is I wasn´t a fan in the late 80s... well ok I liked The Look and The Sweet Hello The Sad Goodbye.
cheers.

roxlad said on November 29, 2004 13:25:

@Majdy I believe it’s easier now with the Internet and online shops. 90% of the things I buy come from online shops and are unavailable in Italy but that’s ’cos you can’t get Swedish music over here.

Rox_Nox2003 said on December 1, 2004 04:07:

Oh no not HAND again! No the bashing, no the drama, not the Stars single, not the lack of guitars, not the tecno beats, no no no not again tell me that we are NOT going to sofucate our precious time screaming to God for its existance .... i think we had enough seriouly! Love or hate it just keep it either on the celler gathering dust or on your CD player blasting high ... but no please no more arguing about this record no again ...

PS: I like a lot ... period!

’cos you can’t get Swedish music over here.”
Not even Abba and Rox, roxlad?

coyboyusa said on December 2, 2004 15:52:

teheheh ahhh the infinate feud over somethign you guys had no control over and all your incesstant whining got per to ” apologize” for the album, if it wasn’t for hand and room service had come out first they would have vanished, simply put hand put them back on thwe international music map with very little support from emi , that speaks volumes about the content of the album

Rox_Nox2003 said on December 3, 2004 01:54:

U have a point there cowboy ... having been good or bad albums both brought back Roxette on track again ... if not the top stop at least to the spot they are meant to be ...

HAND is a great album, it is the most CD that I ever bought, nearly 10 copies, of course, some are just gifts for my friend, and some for swapping. It is the second Roxette CD that I bought, the first one I bought was the DBU95, it might be the first Roxette Chinese release in CD. 3 years later, I bought the HAND, oh, a very long time to wait Roxette to back. Since Chinese mainland only sold domestic releases of Roxette CD, not import international CD, and I missed Rarities, BEE, POP97 between HAND & DBU95, but to my surprised, that time, the international HAND, printed in EU was sold on record shop these days, Strange! and the price is really low, only 30RMB, nearly 4 USA dollars. I bought 5 copies without any thoughts. Now I only kept 1 EU’CD and 1 Chinese CD, others were all sent. Last week, I bought a Chinese release of HAND again, I still like our domestic release. and I want to keep a brand new one, the former Chinese one was played so much, looking very old, and some tracks sounds not well, cus I kept listening to it during 4 years in my college. but cd’s quality is still better than my discman, my discman broke down at first.
