Just got my copy of the book and EP today. At first glance, I really like the book... a ton of stuff that I’ve never seen before. My only gripe is that so few of the pix are in color. I know it would have cost more, but I for one would have paid double if the entire thing was is color.
On to the EP...
1-Stay: what a brilliant freakin song this is! To me this sounds very Lonely Boys-ish with a bit of the TWATG style thrown in. Would live to hear a “polished” version of this, but this one is superb!
2- I Do Believe: another very nice song. Not quite the energy of Stay, but very good nonetheless.
3- LFJ demo - I always like the original Jane, and this version doesn’t disappoint.
4- WFTR demo: OMG! Could this be any slower? Holy crap, I almost fell asleep on this one. Thank god they cranked it up a bit for the album version.
Can’t wait to hear OpNox!

I actually thought the demo ep was nothing exciting. ’Stay’ is actually really very good but I much prefer Paris’ version of ’I do believe’, sorry Per! I think Marie would be gr8 singing that song though. As for LFJ almost exactly the same as the album version only with Per singing it. And WFTR wow it is so slow don’t like this version at all, why didn’t they put ’Bad Moon’ on there instead ;-)
Still the book is great! And another Rox CD can’t complain!
CYA

@PerFanatic: I agree with your opinions about the songs.
I liked a lot the “Stay” version of Anne Louis, but when I listened to the Per’s version...woooooooow!!
Just the sound of the harmonica in the intro makes me feel that this song is one of my Roxette favourites of all time.
I also like “I do believe”...but its lyrics (which I like a lot, by the way) are very much alike to “Spending my time” and “A Thing about you” lyrics, don’t you think? And even to “Love doesn’t live here”, I think...

Yes, please give us the long version of “Love Is All”!!!
xarrrr said on January 25, 2003 11:23:
the Love Is All on the special promo thingy was only 4 or so minutes long. i think the longer version is the one on the C!B!B! album.......

That means that the 7:30 version (or however long it is) is just a printing error? Wait a minute...it is EMI we are talking about. Look at ’The Ballad Hits.’ LOL. I forgot!

The 7:30 includes Per and Marie’s little speech as well.
