Instead everybody saw the idea of a Greatest Hits album take shape. Alcazar has never sold any big loads of albums in Sweden and therefore many of the Swedish fans had missed the previous tracks. So a tracklist was made up with every single released to date, and with the The single "This Is The World We Live In" was not intended for the Swedish audience at all - mainly because Alcazar was not preparing any new album for the moment, but waiting for the European launch of "Alcazarized". The song was recorded (back to back with "Start The Fire" and "Physical") to complete a revised tracklist of "Alcazarized", but when everyone heard the resoult, they realized that this was a song with huge potential for success. So Alcazar thought it over and decided to release the single in Sweden also. And the rest is history - not since "Not A Sinner Nor A Saint" had the group have such airplay and sales figures in Sweden. But then there was a new problem - how would they follow up the success? A new edition of the Scandinavian "Alcazarized", or what?? The answer was: no. three new tracks included as potential single choises in near future. But Alcazar wasn´t finished yet.
Every single had been heavily remixed and released in different formats and shapes over the world, and in Sweden singles are released in two versions - one with two tracks, and one with the remixes. The two track-er is of course much cheaper, so the remixes was manly unheard by the audience. But played on clubs and dancefloors, of course... So Alcazar gave FL the master tapes of their favourite remixes and gave him the adventure to combine and create the ultimate Alcazar Mega Medley! He took the bate, and soon they had a magnifique medley in their hands - containing remixes and beats, perfect for the party and the disco dancefloors!
To make the package even more decireable to the fans, Alcazar put in some rarities and unreleased stuff for the hardcore Alcazar fans. Some of the unique stuff is:
The FL Remix of "Paradise". This song was never released in Sweden at all, and this remix is made especially for this album.
"Save My Pride" and "Dance With The DJ". The hidden tracks from the Swedish "Alcazarized" edition certainly deserved their place in the sun, so Alcazar decided to make them official here. In the megamix however, they are re-edited and re-cut, so it is not the same versions that appears on the original Swedish edition of "Alcazarized".
The Cowboy remix of "Don´t You Want Me". Never commersially released, and it was created to boost the American chart success of the track - in Junior Vasques' remix. This mix however, is one of Alcazar's favourite remixes of the track, if you don´t count the Almighty single edit that they always perform at live gigs.
The special feature on the "Greatest Hits" part of the album is the unreleased single remix of "Someday". It was slightly re-mixed when it was decided to be the official Pride Song 2003, and got a heavier beat during the process, and also a "cleaner" sound. The mix was never released, and appears here for the first time.
The first buyers of the "Dancefloor Deluxe" package found two sleeves in the jewel box. The first booklet had a layout with individual stills from the "TITWWLI" video on the cover. However, when the first badge of material was printed BMG Sweden found out that the resolution of the pics was too bad, and had to re-design it. But as the first print was already made, they decided to put the "new" one on top of the other. So if you are lucky, you might have gotten a megarare copy of the album with TWO sleeves instead of ONE!
