The boys from Ace of Base have negotiated their record label to release a CD and double vinyl (yippee!) of a collection of unreleased demos and out-of-print b sides featuring the original line up of the band. It may not be a new album in the traditional sense, but it's great to get something a collection of touched-up demos that have either been inaccessible to casual fans, previously unheard or only found in varying quality online. There are some really catchy 'gems' on this tracklist and a few of them are considered to be better than some of the singles released back in the day, by many fans

There is also an iTunes pre order with two bonus tracks. The opening song 'Would You Believe' is fabulous and downloadable now with a pre-order.

I hope that the release is successful and prompts the band to reunite (or at least three of them!) for a CD of completely new recorded songs. I think Ace of Base still have something special, and this album will provide a glimpse at songs that didn't fit the albums, or leftovers from albums that never were...

I love Ace of Base one of my fav bands in the 90's they have influenced a lot of artists like Lady Gaga.

I loved the whole of their albums wasn't so keen on their last one didn't like it when they replaced Linn and Jenny.

This is a fan made video for the opening track of the new release. The song is a demo that didn't make it onto the albums, but it was given to fans by Jonas from Ace of Base on Facebook. The Hidden Gems version is more polished and release officially for teh first time.

A lot of these tracks are polished versions from Ace Thursdays right?

Either way, can't wait to get this, been a fan of all their albums - even The Golden Ratio!

I think Would You Believe has a Flowers vibe.
