Another double A-side battle - which do you prefer?

Posted by: Jonjo 13th April 2020, 07:10 PM

Say Goodbye

Love both though!

Posted by: JosephStyles* 13th April 2020, 07:13 PM

Say Goodbye gets my vote too, it captures the emotion so well, I adore it

Posted by: Jay ☆ 13th April 2020, 07:16 PM

Say Goodbye for me too, it's so touching LAGWFY is a bop though!

Posted by: HarryEzra 13th April 2020, 07:21 PM

Say Goodbye still makes me sad even to this day

Posted by: Roba. 14th February 2023, 01:58 AM

Both would be on the least preferred side for me but 'Say Goodbye' is the better of the two for me!

Say Goodbye

Posted by: Yobnedor 14th February 2023, 06:29 AM

Love ain’t gonna wait for you (soz!)

Say Goodbye

Posted by: Slayer 14th February 2023, 10:55 PM

Say Goodbye, always gets me sad reminding me of when they broke up.

Posted by: JosephChalamet 25th January 2024, 06:55 AM

Love Ain't Gonna Wait for You 4K video is up! (albeit on the wrong account lol)

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 25th January 2024, 07:17 AM

Yay! So is it just the Say Goodbye video we need now?

Posted by: JosephChalamet 25th January 2024, 07:53 AM

And You're My Number One in 4K, which has been uploaded to Apple Music but not YouTube

After being lukewarm on it (compared to their other singles), I've been really into LAGWFY the last couple of weeks. Shame it's one of their more forgotten singles as it's so catchy!

Thanks Joseph, so strange about You’re My Number One.

I’m the same, but with Alive. I still haven’t fully come around on Love Ain’t Gonna Wait For You. Maybe I will soon.

Posted by: JosephChalamet 31st January 2024, 06:59 AM

Say Goodbye is now 4K on Apple Music so hopefully on YouTube soon!

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 31st January 2024, 07:29 AM

Fantastic! They must be close to finishing off the digital EP’s.

Say Goodbye is such a beautiful song

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 31st January 2024, 08:36 AM

It is, I played it so much around 2003/4. It connected with me for some reason I can’t quite remember.

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 3rd February 2024, 02:46 AM

What could we realistically expect to see on the digital EP for this when it gets released?

Love Ain’t Gonna Wait For You
Say Goodbye
Special Kind Of Something

What else might we get?

Posted by: gooddelta 3rd February 2024, 09:33 AM

I don't think I'll ever really get into LAGWFY, it has a really strong bridge and first part of the chorus, which is then just squandered away with 'so good, so right...'. The rest of the chorus could have been a much bigger moment.

Say Goodbye though is beautiful and I so wish it had got to No.1 over Ignition It also came out the week I finished high school, so was extremely fitting for my own situation at the time.

Posted by: -Jay- 3rd February 2024, 09:36 AM

It could include these Love Ain’t Gonna Wait For You mixes:

Illicit Vocal Mix
Illicit Dub
Bimbo Jones Club Mix
Kurtis Mantronik Club Mix

and I suppose if they’re faithful to the CD track lists then they’d include Bitter Sweet!

Love Ain't Gonna Wait for You

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 15th February 2024, 06:41 AM

Really hoping we get this tomorrow. I’m guessing it’ll be the last one too.

Posted by: JosephBoone 15th February 2024, 12:33 PM

Indeed it is!!

1 Say Goodbye
2 Special Kind of Something
3 Bittersweet
4 Love Ain't Gonna Wait for You (Single Remix)
5 Love Ain't Gonna Wait for You (Illicit Vocal Mix)
6 Love Ain't Gonna Wait for You (Illicit Dub Mix)
7 Love Ain't Gonna Wait for You (Bimbo Jones Club Mix)
8 Love Ain't Gonna Wait for You (Harry's Afro Hut 'Going Down' Mix)

They've butchered the artwork somehow

Posted by: -Jay- 15th February 2024, 12:46 PM

What an odd choice to make the logo that large and have Hannah slightly overlapping it!

Apparently Harry's Afro Hut 'Going Down' Mix is an alternative name for Kurtis Mantronik Club Mix

Posted by: gooddelta 16th February 2024, 10:56 AM

I can't remember if there was a specific reason they covered a then five-year-old top 20 Kavana hit as a b-side for this single?

Is that everything they released on streaming now - all mixes and versions etc (apart from the tour mixes)?

Posted by: JosephBoone 16th February 2024, 12:13 PM

I think it's probably all we're likely to get. There are a few things still missing:

Anytime, Anywhere - their version of an S Club Juniors album track, featuring on Automatic High CD1, so unlikely to come onto streaming unless they get round to the Juniors' EPs
Dancing Queen - from the ABBAmania album, so probably dependent on that being uploaded
Natural (album version) - they seem to have forgotten this exists! The single version replaced it on the album re-issue but this was the version on the original album, as performed on LA 7. Hasn't seen a release since the original album.
Natural (video version) - the video mix is slightly different to the single mix, but has never been released
Right Guy (original mix) - the version included on Don't Stop Movin' CD1 was a different mix to the Sunshine album version, but it was the latter uploaded to the digital EP (which is also fine as it's absent from the Sunshine streaming album)
Dance (Rachel's Version) - never had a commercial release but this was performed alongside Rachel's version of Alive
Have You Ever (BBC Children in Need Version) - would've been on the Have You Ever EP if it were going to get a release, no real loss
Reach (Steve Anderson Remix) - an exclusive remix to the Pepsi CD of Reach

If they really wanted to be comprehensive, there's also the '7' Album Snippets track from the US Natural CD the idea of which feels like a relic now but back from the days when forthcoming album tracks used to be teased in a medley on one of the CD singles...! Plus an intro + interview track from a Sunny Delight promotional CD and an interview track from the Reach Pepsi CD but obviously they're not going to turn up.

Some songs have differing mixes for the TV show too, particularly in the early days - Stand By You, You're My Number One and Down at Club S to name a few.

But I think we're about as complete as we're going to get at this stage, and if you'd have told me this time last year that we'd have all of the b-sides on streaming + the missing album tracks, I'd have been ridiculously happy, so I can't complain!

Next move: change the release dates so they all appear in order on their profiles and my biggest wish now I think is to re-upload '7' and Sunshine to have the correct full UK tracklistings!!!

Posted by: gooddelta 16th February 2024, 03:54 PM

Ah, I remember the majority of those songs! Thanks for the list.

A long version of the Steve Anderson remix of Reach is on Spotify at least as part of the Reach EP, but the edit would have been nice.

I bought a couple of albums based on those album medleys that used to turn up on CD singles, I remember being completely sold by the Eiffel 65 one

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 16th February 2024, 08:57 PM

Thanks for the comprehensive list Joseph!

I agree it’s unlikely we’ll get any of them, but what we have got is incredible.

Posted by: JosephBoone 20th February 2024, 04:43 PM

And the final music video to be released in 4K (and on the band's official YouTube for the first time ever)

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 20th February 2024, 04:59 PM

Well I guess we’re really done now.
