I’m a collector, but it’s very hard when you live here in New Zealand. The most I’ll find here is the back catelog of Roxette albums (except Pearls Of Passion, Rarities, and Baladas en Español). Also, us New Zealanders would be very lucky to find second-hand items, or rare versions of albums.
I’ve got all the albums, except Rarities and Dance Passion, and have only 5 CD singles and 1 cassingle. Singles are the hardest thing to get here. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Roxette single for at least 6 or 7 years now. :(

I only collect posters, and I have to stop soon because I am running out of wall space. Ugh. :-)

I buy CDs and have posters from the FC when Room Service came out. I guess I’m a small collector, compared to other fans who collect much more than me.

that would be a very nice idea. A site to swap/sale roxette items...

fanatic collector, some say a bit crazy collector! Oh, well everybody has their weakpoints, don’t they?

Simple answer: No. Easy explanation: I used to really like Roxette, but that is some time ago now. Not that I dislike them - quite the contrary. It’s more that my music taste has changed, I dare say it’s has become much more mature. The only reason I listen to Roxette nowadays is sheer nostalgia - which is nice too.

I have just recently started collecting rox singles, but I am not hardcore e.g if I already have a cassingle (tape) I won’t buy the same single on cd.
I try to limit my spending, but all those cds on ebay make it so damn tempting! Shouldve never got that credit card!

I was a collector but since I don’t have a job (2002) I don’t collect anymore... I have around 120 original items.
TrustNo1 said on June 24, 2003 02:56:
I collect only CDs, CD singles, and cassette singles.
If anyone has any they don’t want anymore, email me at [email protected]. I’ll be happy to take them off your hands! :)

I have a lot of stuff.....when ppls are saying they have however many records.....do you mean....just cd albums.....just vinyl... or are you including everything?
steve said on June 24, 2003 06:48:
Yes, I used to buy everything that came out, in Belgium it’s not that hard to find singles (they are always released here) and albums, very easy actually, because they’ve got loyal fans here. But since Have A Nice Day, maxi’s were ordered for me on special order cos they were not available in the shops anymore, as for maxi’s from any other artist, you have to go to the specialized shops or chain stores and still.
I probably have about 100 items now

Not sure exactly how many records/cassettes/CDs I have. About 9-10 years ago I really went mad and bought whatever Roxette items I could afford. I haven’t added to my collection for many years though. I have all Roxette UK 7”/12”/cass/CD singles and most Euro releases that have diff tracklistings/covers. I have all GT 7” singles (except the fan club record) - that includes the Billy EP and Peter Pop single. All Gessle solo 7”s and most Marie 7” (including Strul single) - if I remember right I am missing Silver I Din Hand.
I also have a few Gessle written 7” singles by other artists - J.Donovan/Anna/Staffan Ofwerman come to mind - there are a few others though.
If I would have continued collecting at the rate I was, I would have probably got near to a complete collection by now. It’s been so long since I have looked through it all that I have forgot exactly what I have got and what I am missing.

@ATLTK & Stormkeeper: No, it wasn´t “Dangerous”. Jason Donovan recorded “The sweethello, the sad goodbye” and nothing else.
“Dangerous” was written for the Miami Vice star Don Jonson. But he didn´t like the song... ;)

I used to be one.... Now I don’t do a lot of efforts actually....
arnie said on June 25, 2003 18:57:
It was released only as a b-side, and he changed the title for “Sweet hello, Sad Goodbye”
LittleGirl78 said on June 22, 2003 14:22:

So I still miss many Singles. I have noone from Changes and noone from Good bye to you if anyone sell that to a good price I´m here ;D
