Hey all. Just wondering, who’s got all the singles from POP down all the way to TPH? That includes the promosingles from BEE and HAND (spanish) as well as the remix singles? How much did this complete collection cost you and will you be willing to buy add to your almost complete collection today if you can? I surely haven’t got it all (just need the ones from POP and the CD-singles from LS! Have the rest from JOYRIDE onwards, except some of the promo singles.) Anybody?

I have a fair few of them, but promo items are way over priced so I’ve stopped collecting them as it’s almost imposible to keep up with everything.

I need the POP-Singles, Dressed For Sucess and Listen To Your Heart, then my Collection is complete.

You can get the singles form LS quite easy on ebay i would have thought?

There is a guy from Sweden who owns more than 500 original items.... i can’t remember the site, but I think it’s on the cd.
There’s also another guy who has a lot of items at

I have over 500 items (records) and I’m not even close to complete. Robert Thorselius has more than 1100 items, and he’s not complete either.

the problem with getting some rox records is that you need a credit card. i don’t have one, it often stops me from being able to buy things - like the new rox book for example. the only way i can get it is to trade for it! hey arnie! how’re you?

Well I’ve got got 259 Items [not including videos], but it is damn hard to get all the singles.
Especially if you wanna get 3” singles English Releases, Dutch/Aussie releases, USA, South America etc.

Ive got all singles from POP-TPH except “I Call Your Name” & “Goodbye To You”. I dont care so much about promo stuff but I have some, like TCOTH promo, UDST promo ,MATAH promo, The Look 95 promo etc. The cdmaxi I dont have but that I always wanted to have is FLAF french version ( black cover). I had the chance to buy it last year for 500 sek but I couldent afford it then :(((((

I have around 400 items (both CDs and vinyl including GT,PG etc). The last year I haven’t been very active collecting stuff. I can’t make up my mind whether I should continue to spend so much money on rare rox stuff or not.
Roxreporter said on March 9, 2003 10:54:
I have the following maxi’s:
IMHBL, Joyride, Queen of rain, CBB, Fireworks, Run to you, Vulnerable, The Look ’95, YDUM, June
afternoon, SDLHA, WICF, Anyone, Stars, Salvation
and 2-track singles:
How do you do, Almost unreal, TCOTH, Real suger, MATAH, ATAY, ON. Their latest stuff is not availble on maxi here in Belgium :(

I donät understand how you guys can have SO MANY items... you must be very active in your collecting... and have lots of money and time to spend.
I have one question for you: Why is it so important to you to have ALL records??
coyboyusa said on March 9, 2003 23:51:
what the concept of a complete collectionI mean i would consider a complete collection one of every release some peopel go completely absurd and buy 12 of the same thing just cause they are from different countries but they are all the same
Vixzter said on March 10, 2003 06:53:
@coy - ah but you see....they’re not all the same, they have different cat#’s ;) different covers (sometimes) and even in some case’s different trax. Releases differ from country to country so if you’re a bit of a collector like me then you buy these things.....if you’re not then you don’t , its as simple as that. The majority of my collection never gets played (as I have it on mp3 to listen to) but its my hobby and I enjoy it. You may think it strange but then you probably spend your money on something that I’d find weird too.
BTW, I’d have to count how many items (single wise) that I’ve got, did have a list at one point but I got behind in adding my new stuff.
egmond said on March 10, 2003 08:02:
I decided to buy only the official releases, and I stick to Maxi singles cause the cardboard ones get hurt easily. I once upon a time started collecting all the lp’s, but stopped at 3 cause the others I found weren’t good quality. Anybody interested in buying POP, TOURISM & DBUGTTC LP’s? All in mint condition. Sometimes I even stop and think why the hell am I collecting this stuff? I don’t know really, but it’s my hobby, keeps me sane (odd, isn’t it?) I just wish they’d release the POP singles on CD and CHANCES on CD too, that would be great! THUS: WE WANT A BOX SET TOO!!!!!

If you have anything you want to sell (just CDs, no LPs), and only original stuff, no bootlegs or anything, feel free to mail me at [email protected]
ditroia said on March 11, 2003 04:07:
Vixter: Exactly My thoughts.
Collecting roxette stuff is my Hobby, I don’t smoke or do drugs or drink excessivly, so I can allow myself to do this.
But I am starting to cut back and spend less.
Dave.

AntiMario said on March 11, 2003 05:26:
Collecting ROX/GT/Per/Marie releases can be too boring.. So I suggest switching for Per written stuff for other artists can make you very active again, once not being lazy and only searching in kazaa and WinMX like programs.
:) Of course just my opinion.

*Whips out the Discography book, looks at the money tree which is now dying and sighs*
I for sure am no where near the collector some of you guys are. :) I think it’s cool though!
I am a boring indivisual, can’ thave more than 1 copy of the same CD, I’ll end up selling it. ;)
arnie said on March 12, 2003 00:22:
The point is: Why do we have to collect so many items?
400? I can’t believe it, someone who is very very rich has the proud of saying, I would need a whole life to get that number...
Vixzter said on March 12, 2003 06:25:
@arnie : I wouldn’t class myself as very rich, its taken me 13 years to build a collection like I have and mines small compared to some ;)
Still ..... I like it :)
daniel_alv said on March 8, 2003 18:03:
