Producers: Clarence Ofwerman, Michael Ibert, Per Gessle. Engineers include: Michael Ilbert, Alar Suurna, Anders Herrlin. Includes liner notes & an interview with Roxette by Sven Lindstrom. Digitally remastered by George Marino (Sterling Sound, New York, New York). This brilliantly titled collection features 14 hits and four previously unreleased songs (from 1995). Everyone remembers Roxette's first international hit "The Look," but anyone within range of a radio station between 1988 and 1994 will know almost all of these songs. In the hands of a cynical songwriter, this kind of material would seem like little more than a calculated attempt at chart success. But Per Gessle, Roxette's primary songwriter, sounds as though he just happened to write huge smash hits merely as a by-product of playing music. His genius is his seemingly accidental pop perfectness. It is hard to pick a standout track--they all are almost equally strong--but a song like "It Must Have Been Love" is particularly impressive because it has become so much a part of the collective pop unconscious that it is a surprise to hear it here--wasn't this a hit back in the '70s performed by, say, Abba or someone? The four 1995 tracks are cut from the same cloth--"June Afternoon" is spectacularly cheerful, akin to Katrina and the Waves' "Walking on Sunshine," and "She Doesn't Live Here Anymore" is a big, crunching slab of power-pop that nails the style to a T Track List: 1.
