“12. No One Makes It On Her Own” Great choice. Hopefully it’s gonna be the next single.
SIMC & CBB are definately missing!
It’s a kind of strange compilation – just based on LS and Joyride albums with small addition of HAND track. Maybe this can be a teaser before a theatre tour in US next year? Who knows?
Well, these are the only songs that made a splash in the US, so it does make sense. I hope you’re right about a theater tour in the US!!!
Strange that EMI went for such a short tracklist. Agree with RealSugar! Maybe it’s sort of a bargain compilation next to the bigger “Hits!”?
Why they release compilation with only 12 songs and why including two songs from Charm School, that will be released simultaneously? I can understand that the focus is set to Look Sharp/Joyride singles, but there’s so much space to introduce other major Roxette hits from ‘after joyride era’. Why not traclist like this…?
The Look, DFS, LTYH, Dangerous, IMHBL, Joyride, FLAF, SMT, COYH, HDYD, Almost Unreal, SIMC, CBB, YDUM, WICF, Stars, TCOTH, MATAH, ATAY.
Strange tracklist, but understand it for the US I suppose.
I would have had something more like this:
01. The Look
02. Dressed For Success
03. Listen To Your Heart
04. Dangerous
05. It Must Have Been Love
06. Joyride
07. Fading Like A Flower (Every Time You Leave)
08. The Big L
09. Spending My Time
10. Church of Your Heart
11. How Do You Do!
12. Almost Unreal
13. Sleeping In My Car
14. Crash! Boom! Bang!
15. Run To You
16. Wish I Could Fly
17. Opportunity Nox
18. Reveal
19. She’s Got Nothing On (But The Radio)
20. No One Makes It On Her Own
This is absolutely poor. Who’s gonna pay for a CD with only 12 tracks when there’s room to cram 80 minutes of music onto a CD? Unless the price is 5 or 6 dollars, this is a total rip-off!
It shoul contain at least How do you do!, Sleeping in My Car y Cras!Bomm!Bang! Very Happy about No One Makes It…. I think they should promote it like the big Rox Ballad 2011.
bizarre
Americans don’t like long albums, that was one of the reasons “I remember you” was left out from Joyride. But 12 songs is too short. Now let’s hope we get a decent artwork for this new compilation
Honky Tonk, I don’t think that was one of the reasons. 14 or 15 songs on one album doesn’t make a difference at all. They just scrapped one song in order to prevent the relatively cheaper American CD’s from flooding the European market (as long as I know).
12 songs is short… and poor at the same time. They should add more value to the cd by adding other hits, no matter if they were big or not in the USA. Don’t know, if I go into a CD store and see a compilation with only 12 tracks on it, I don’t feel tempted to buy it. Looks like a budget release.
Well, Speak To Me is the best Charm School song so they missed a beat so to, emm, speak. It’s a pointless release, and it totally abandons some of their best material: I’d have put a new song right at the beginning, then a chunk of hits, and keep peppering the blocks of known songs with newer and lesser-known songs (in the US market at least). Oh well…
