Crash! Boom! Bang! XL
- Barry Mieny with Martin Odendaal
- Roxette XL
We’ve reached the halfway mark — for the studio albums — and this one’s very relevant today since Crash! Boom! Bang! is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary on this very day! According to rumours, the thirtieth-anniversary edition of the album won’t be out until later this year, so maybe this can serve as a bit of inspiration.
Tourism XL
- Barry Mieny
- Roxette XL
Tourism: the album whose thirtieth-anniversary edition sparked this series of posts for me. The preceding two albums received substantial tracklists and physical releases, while Per sadly neglected this one. Since I can imagine a grand tracklist as I want, let’s see where it ends up.
Joyride XL
- Barry Mieny with Thomas Evensson
- Roxette XL
So far, Joyride has had the most comprehensive tracklist and packaging of the deluxe editions released. Despite the era-inappropriate photos and non-matching fonts used in that packaging, I can at least try to assemble an even more comprehensive tracklist.
Look Sharp! XL
- Barry Mieny
- Roxette XL
A lot of my work has already been done for this since Look Sharp! got a thirtieth-anniversary edition on CD, LP+CD and a monstrous digital release that was amended quite a few times. The big oversight was not including any remixes, and the demo running order could use some tweaking.
Pearls of Passion XL
- Barry Mieny
- Roxette XL
I don’t know why Pearls of Passion wasn’t given the thirtieth-anniversary edition treatment that Look Sharp!, Joyride and Tourism got, but I’m going to make a wild guess that it was because Roxette had just wrapped up the Neverending Tour and Per needed to take a bit of a breather.
