Pre-ordered the blue vinyl and 3CD set. FormUK have excelled themselves once again - thank goodness they contacted Universal to get involved! I can't lie and say I'm a bit disappointed there's no T-Shirts or even hoodies like last time, but I am imagining that they are channelling efforts for those into the tour, which is understandable. Guess I'll be making my own to make up for it using what assets are available!

A little article from Form UK design about the album, including some pictures from the developmental stage of the original 2004 sleeve design. I forgot to post the link https://form.uk.com/2024/01/girls-aloud-wha...th-anniversary/ |

Interesting to see this, different options for the album cover? I like the bottom right one the most! |

I like the look of the blue vinyl and fits well with the album cover itself.

I've pre-ordered the blue vinyl! Looking forward to those unreleased songs, especially - as mentioned - hearing 'Wicked Game' after all this time, although I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't live up to expectations! Intrigued by the electronic mix of 'I'll Stand By You'.
I think there's a lot to love from their debut album, but I agree this is where they really found their sound. I think lyrically it really captures the thoughts of five young women; I know the Xenomania team would get lyric ideas from the girls just telling them about their day and that really comes across on this album. |

Wow wasn’t expecting Wicked Game. I’m looking forward to hearing it!
Wasn’t it meant to lead the Chemistry album though? Not complaining. |

It was scheduled to come out as a single in May 2005 (during the What Will the Neighbours Say? tour). So I think with the single being scrapped before that point, it can comfortably be slotted into the second album era instead of the third!

The quality of this release is inmense . Bravo to the girls!!
They always have been really good with special releases, I’ve loved so much the single box, it’s beautiful with all the singles 😍 Shame we can’t say the same about the artworks 🤣 |

Teaser of "Wicked Game" has just dropped!
Have to say, even on 17 seconds alone, not at all what I was imagining - in the best possible way! It almost sounds a bit dubsteppy - before that was even a thing. |

Also just noticed something - all the videos from this album now have special thumbnails like the ones they did for the SOTU reissue! (Although this does mean Jump now has a new thumbnail too. Canonically, I feel like it belongs with the last album era as well but them's the rules I guess)

^ Ooh I like the updated thumbnails! Kind of surprised that they went to the trouble of redoing it for Jump, but I’m glad they have because the previous one was using a LQ still!
Nicola mentioned on her story that Wicked Game has “new production tweaks”, but then removed that text, so maybe we weren’t supposed to know that detail lol. So it seems it’s not going to be precisely what existed in 2005, but I don’t mind, if they’ve touched it up to make it a better listening experience then that’s great. |

Wow, wasn't expecting that production, I thought it would be a straight sonic retread like See The Day or I'll Stand By You. Intriguing!

Didn’t Sarah say in her book that they filmed a video for this? Wonder if we will see that as part of this eras campaign?

Nope, only that one was planned and that it had a concept, but they didn’t go as far as shooting it!

I'll Stand By You was not meant to be that straight at first, but the more daring version was deeemed inappropriate for a charity single - which is exactly why I'm so excited we'll get to hear it finallly! |
