“Look Sharp! meets Silly Really”
That’s exactly what I thought too!

B-Side live version of Wish I coul fly?? bufffff!!! I prefer and unreleased or demo version!! But sounds great!!!

Tider12, I’m guessing the extra songs end up on the deluxe 2-cd version Per tweeted about. 16 songs recorded, 12 on the album. The extra 4 will make a perfect bonus E.P. ala the Ballad Hits and Pop Hits deluxe editions.
I don’t mind “Wish I Could Fly” live as a b-side, I just wish–for my money–it was a maxi single with 2 or 3 more live tracks. The price per song to import this release into the U.S. will astronomical and a maxi single would have made it much more palatable (more for my money). Ah well, beggars can’t be choosers and I’m just thrilled to get ANY new Roxette so nothing but smiles here. :-)

Astronomical? A 2-track single doesn’t cost more than 29 or 39 kronor in Sweden. I can say I have never missed a single during this years, as they were totally affordable. If I could, I don’t think it could be so expensive for someone from the U.S.
Rox-USA said on December 3, 2010 22:10:
39 kronor currently converts to just under 6 USD. That’s a pretty standard price here in the US for a domestic CD single, too. However, it’s tough to find reliable, safe online resellers who don’t charge a premium to import CDs. Typically, a disc like this will cost 9 or 10 USD since imports are priced at a premium here. Now add international shipping. It becomes pretty hard to buy even a 2-track single for a whole lot less than 15 USD total. Even if it only costs me, say, 12 USD total, that’s still 39 kronor PER SONG–a 200% markup over those of you fortunate to live where Roxette is a domestic title.
You’re right, “astronomical” is a relative term. It’s not like I won’t eat in January over this. ;-) It’s merely a statement of value. A 4-track single gets me more music for my money. I guess I just miss the Joyride and C!B!B! days when all the singles were 4 tracks minimum.

What a coincidence. Lady Gaga have a song called “Nothing on (but the radio)”

Either there are more than one, or there’s a color coding problem (RGB/CMYK).

I didn’t like the cover....It looks as if Roxette is somehow still there in Look Sharp era....In Roxette documentary they themsevles said that it’s important to not look back at your old work when the host asks about the success of Look Sharp.....All the singles had their own originality...anyway let’s hope for the best.......

I don’t know what to think. The rumour that a L. Gaga song has leaked with a very similar name is suspicious. And the single sleeve looks a bit rushed, looks like the singles off “Party Crasher”. Maybe just another Per joke to tease the fans...
On the other hand, everybody thought the “One Wish” sleeve was a joke too, but it was real. I have reasons to think it’s a joke, and reasons to think it’s real! Time will tell.
