Don't Bore Us - Get to the Chorus! (Roxette's Greatest Hits) (30th anniversary edition)

~ Release by Roxette (see all versions of this release, 15 available)

Annotation

This new edition includes two additional tracks which are "Wish I could fly" & "Milk & Toast & Honey".
There is a typo in the name of the producer. In the name of Clarence Öfwerman it has V instead of W. It is like that on both black LP, limited purple LP and CD 30 anniversary releases.
