Look Sharp! New Roxette Compilation in Stores Today

July 26, 2011 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

As previously noted on Twitter, we're doing something a bit different with the new catalogue releases this week: rather than do a big New Release Round-Up post, we're going to do smaller posts highlighting them through the day. Why? Simple: a lot of these releases, taken on their own, are small but of enough interest to not get swept under the rug of a mega-post as such. Plus, there aren't really a whole heck of a lot of major reissues out this week anyway.

We begin with a new compilation from Roxette, the Swedish pop duo who dominated the airwaves in the late '80s and early '90s with an assortment of shimmering dance-pop hits. Their four U.S. chart-toppers, "The Look," "Listen to Your Heart," "It Must Have Been Love" and "Joyride" are still radio and club staples. ("Listen to Your Heart" enjoyed a new lease on life in 2005, when Belgian club act D.H.T. took their version of it to Billboard's Top 10.) Though the set is certainly heavy on those hits from the first five years or so, there are two tracks included from the group's latest album, this year's Charm School (which is receiving a digital release in the U.S. alongside this compilation).

The full track list and an Amazon link is after the jump!

  2. Dressed for Success (U.S. Single Mix)

  7. Fading Like a Flower (Every Time You Leave)
  8. Spending My Time
  9. Church of Your Heart
  10. Wish I Could Fly
  11. She's Got Nothing On (But the Radio)
  12. No One Makes It on Her Own

Tracks 1-4 from Look Sharp! (EMI, 1988)
Track 5 from non-LP single (EMI, 1987) - later released on Pretty Woman: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Capitol, 1990)
Tracks 6-9 from Joyride (EMI, 1991)

Mike Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he was a teenager. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.

      Steve, my friend, with many of the sets we cover, I often think how well they'd fit into your record collection!

    So... should I buy this Greatest Hits compilation or... Don't Bore Us - Get to the Chorus (1995)... or The Ballad Hits and The Pop Hits (2002/2003)... or A Collection of Roxette Hits (2006)... Guess they'll end up in the Greater Hits feature! 🙂
