For those who do manage to get this DVD playing on their computer this is a real awesome collection of all the hits of Roxette and some that many will be unfamiliar with perhaps. Even more intersting than the music videos however are the special extras. The documentaries both are captivating viewing, very well made look into what it is really like to be a rockstar. It is a must-see for anyone intersted in the music industry whether you like Roxette or not.

It was in the PAL format which doesn't play on my dvd player and apparently according to other reviews here i'm not the only one who has encountered this problem. Be careful when ordering this and ensure that you can play PAL or buy elsewhere.

A great collection. Roxette's very skillful, professional-and at the same time-personal and heartfelt-vocals are hard to describe. They are a shinning example of the kind of music that made the 80's great for rock/pop music.
This disc does require the use of a region free DVD PLAYER and should be so marked.

Here's an dvd that is different from any other dvd why you may ask while that's because it's made for your computer not your regular dvd player. This is without an doudt one of their best.

Yeah, I must agree with the previous writer / review on Roxette's All Videos ever made & More! This was one DVD I really wanted to watch. I was a big Roxette fan, I wanted just to sit down and watch this huge array of their videos. But I was greatly disappointed when I put the DVD in and it would not read because of the wrong region. Get your facts right sellers - region free or not! This is the reason I give a 1 rating. As a seller, they should know what items sold and right facts.

This Is a good video coll but will not play in all dvd players!!! I have A Blu ray player magnavox and i will not play!! Not all reg as they say

All Videos Ever Made and More: Complete Collection This has a huge collection of their videos including killer cuts like "She's Got The Look" and "Dressed For Success". Over 90 minutes of material! The latter part of the collection, though, gets more melodic and has less of a 'snap' to it than the earlier stuff. However, I'm told they're still performing in various parts of the world.

I was thrilled when I received this as a gift! But so frustrated as it will not play on any of our players...not even the Blu-Ray player. If I wanted to watch it on the computer/laptop, I could have skipped putting it on my gift list and watched it for free on Youtube! Nowhere on the DVD or case does it indicate that it won't play in our region.

Wow! If you love listening to Roxette's Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle, then you will absolutely be on The JoyRide of your Life once you push this DVD into your player! It is like finally meeting them for real. First let me say I have never been so deeply affected by any one band as I have been with Roxette. No, I not a roadey, or a groupey, I am just a hopeless romantic, and if you are, or are thinking seriously about becoming one, then you need this DVD.
Now I must lay your fears to rest, for I read one of the prior reviews concerning the format compatability, and how disappointed the reviewer was that they could not view this item. Beleive me, I had some big fears as I pushed the "Cart" button, but I wanted this too much, and I left it all up to the gods. I can not express my joy and happiness more than to say IT WORKS!
What you will see are the 35 official videos spanning from their first in 1987 "Neverending Love", when Marie had shoulder length brown tresses, all the way through 2001's "Milk and Toast and Honey" featuring a more mature Marie extolling the comforts that bring her peace. My personal favorite video? Glad you asked, "Listen to your Heart" filmed live at a castle ruin in Spain in 1989. I have never had a music video affect me so profoundly, made my eyes fill with tears of elation. But Then, there are the Rarities; Five additional videos, four produced in Sweden for their fans, and a very touching "Silver Blue" made on tour in 1989. Now if that isn't enough, and Roxette fans Never get enough, there are not one, but two Documentaries: "The Making of Joyride" (1991) @ 50 minutes wherein filmmaker Mats Jonstam documents nearly a year long odysey of promotional trips, behind the scenes stuff, interviews etc. You get to know these artists- it is great. The second offering "Really Roxette" (1996) @ 52 minutes is a road flick around the Crash! Boom! Bang! Tour of 1995, produced by Peter O Ekberg for Swedish Television. I actually watched this one first, as it reveals The Pair as more seasoned world travelers and Ambassadors of Good Will, and shows the delicate realities of being rock stars while juggling their personal lives. I then watched the earlier documentry, which exposed the wide eyed and younger Roxette being swept up in their well deserved fame.
So as you can see it is more than a pocket full of fun, and took me several days to view it all just once.

While the product description says this DVD is in NTSC video format which is the format used in the USA, the DVD I received was in PAL format and would not play in my Panasonic RV-31 player which will only play NTSC formatted DVDs. As Roxette is an international group it is understandable these DVDs were PAL format commonly seen in Europe. I have rated the DVD as one star because it is unplayable, not because of its content. I would recommend the Ballad and Pop hits DVD which is in NTSC format for USA customers.
