Thank you Paul for this rip! I am Rox fan and have never got a decent rip of this. Its very hard to get 12”. Roxette needs to release a long overdue compilation of their 12” mixes on CD or FLAC. Feel free to rip more late 80’s, Look Sharp! era Rox

Thanks, DJ Paul T. Glad to hear your Partner’s mom is on the mend, and excited to hear such a great rip of Chances and, of course, of the song that gave me my moniker. 🙂 Blessings and light to you.

Like the rest, I’m so happy you’re back Paul. I’ve been thinking of you and Jeremy ever since you made the announcement and I’m glad that things are slowly working for his Mom’s recovery. Please offer them my well wishes.

I’m excited about today’s post because lately I’m really getting back into Roxette. Can’t wait to hear this remix as it is not familiar to me.

Take care of yourself and family Paul!

What an amazing comeback Paul! I´m so happy that you are back. That surely means that your partner´s mother gets better which is the most important of all. So this post just blows me away. I love Roxette and this remix is the best they have ever released. Unfortunately it has never been issued on CD. But you Paul are here to repair this injustice. We are so lucky to have you. I´m still in the office right now and I can´t wait to get back home to listen to this fabulous rip. A thousand million thanks Paul. Once more… Read more »
