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
Wow! Thanks Paul. I never even knew about this one!! Really great song. Love the extended version, and as always, phenomenal rip! Appreciate it!
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.
Thank you Silver Blue. Enjoy! 🙂
A nice surprise as this was one of my favourite tracks from the album. Looking forward to hearing the remix.
Thanks Paul 🙂
You’re welcome Mark 🙂
Thanks !
I have searched for many years and cannot find a lossless rip of 12 version of chances , many thanks !!
You’re welcome Jonathan 🙂
Grandioso Pault, ojalá publiques más de Roxette, espero todo esté bien.
Thank you, Carlos. I will 🙂
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!
Jeff
Thank you Jeff 🙂
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 »

Everything is getting better Julian. Thank you 🙂
