Xtra Trax XL
- Barry Mieny
- Roxette XL
I did say: “maybe another one or two,” when I kicked off this series of posts, and this is one of those. With so many hits compilations released over the years, there are quite a few non-studio album tracks.
Good Karma XL
- Barry Mieny
- Roxette XL
Wrapping up the studio albums, Good Karma gave us much more than expected. Fourteen demos, two outtakes, and nine remixes add up to give us 36 tracks in total. I’m just happy we got this final album and have almost no complaints about it.
Travelling XL
- Barry Mieny
- Roxette XL
After pulling everything together for Travelling, I realised I may have been overly harsh by judging Charm School for only having 39 tracks. I managed to scrounge together 25 tracks for this edition, and that was only possible since I generously included two demos previously included on other albums.
Charm School XL

- Roxette XL
Slim pickings is one word I can use to describe the contents of this imagined album. At 39 tracks, it sounds impressive, but I feel slightly let down by the content. Of everything I could find, only two tracks would be entirely new for most fans. Hopefully, there are some more demos left in the drawers. There are also some unknown tracks since we know they recorded fifteen or sixteen tracks for the album and only used twelve.
Room Service XL
- Barry Mieny
- Roxette XL
Knowing that this album still has twelve unreleased demos makes this the most exciting exploration yet. Based on the album’s final tracklist, I may have unattainable expectations for those demos, though. Not to be discouraged, I’m serving up a deluxe tracklist to you on a tray.
