It will be interesting to see if Melanie C does anything for Beautiful Intentions 20th anniversary. Surly releasing it on vinyl for the first time is a no brainer like Jay said. We'll see if she releases any outtakes from her albums during anniversary releases.

I hope so! Although if she intends to start a new album era within the next year, I guess she'd prioritise wanting maximum sales for that, over Beautiful Intentions (it being almost 20 years since that album, goshhh!)

QUOTE(-Jay- @ 5th May 2024, 12:53 PM)  From my understanding, Virgin and EMI releases are all handled by Universal Music Group… That is a common misconception. Only the Virgin Records catalogue was sold to Universal. The old EMI Records label was sold to Warner Music Group about a decade ago, so Geri's entire catalogue is controlled by Warner UK. If you look at the copyright data of all her albums on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, etc. you'll see it says "Parlophone Records Ltd".

Thank you for informing me, I had never noticed her music saying Parlophone/Warner! Even Passion/Ride It/Desire despite that involving Virgin. Who knows whether Warner would ever be motivated to try and release them on vinyl. I won’t hold my breath

Melanie are so lazy with her catalogue. Check on Spotify to see that so many stuff from her own label is missing. Quality of pictures are bads. She doesn't car much at all. Were are all the b-sides from RGR? Where are "Let There Be Loved" ? She need to clean it are rebuild everything. |

Further to the discussion about Emma and the state of her streaming (the lack of availability worldwide / missing singles etc)... it has to be said, all of the girls' streaming presence kind of sucks to varying degrees, doesn't it?
Most of what I've written below is referencing what isn't available. I might have missed some stuff: Victoria Out of Your Mind - Remixes A Mind of Its Own - B Side 'Always Be My Baby' This Groove/Let Your Head Go - Never likely to be digitised due to a lack of interest from Victoria, which also applies to the tracks from the DVD of The Real Beckhams & any other recordings from this era P.S. The normal version of Out of Your Mind must have a very poor playlist reach - it's still only on 1.7 million streams worldwide! Mel B I Want You Back - Remixes (oddly it's the only Virgin era single that isn't released digitally) Word Up - Some alternative versions i.e. Single Version, Pop Edit, Full Length Tell Me - Radio Edit (it's the album version on the digital single) and some of the remixes Feels So Good - Remixes For Once in My Life - Remixes (considering there's so many of them - by some pretty big names - it's strange that they were never released commercially!) Geri Look at Me - Single Version Scream If You Wanna Go Faster [song] - Album version with extended intro (the single version is on the album in its place) Mi Chico Latino, It's Raining Men, Calling & Ride It - Remixes Desire - B Side 'True Love Never Dies' Half of Me - Restricted to certain countries P.S. The artwork of Look at Me is an awful recreation of the original :\ Melanie C Reason - Independence Day Beautiful Intentions - RFM live acoustic tracks The Night EP - all 3 songs Stages - Anything Goes Live at Shepherd's Bush - entire album Melanie C (self-titled album) - Self Love Goin' Down - B Sides 'Angel on My Shoulder' and 'I Want You Back' Northern Star [song] - Acoustic Version and B Side 'Something's Gonna Happen' Never Be the Same Again - Lisa Lopes Remix, B Side 'I Wonder What It Would Be Like', Live Versions of 'Closer' and 'Goin' Down' I Turn to You - Damian LeGassick Radio Mix and 'Be the One' Live. Here It Comes Again - Marius De Vries Radio Edit and B Side 'Living Without You' On the Horizon - Radio Mix, B Sides 'I Love You Without Trying' and 'Wonderland' + Acoustic Versions of 'Goin' Down' and 'Never Be the Same Again' Melt/Yeh Yeh Yeh - B Side 'Knocked Out' and 'I Wish' Live. Next Best Superstar - Remixes/Acoustic Version Better Alone - B Side 'Runaway', Remixes and 'You'll Get Yours' Acoustic Version First Day of My Life - Acoustic Version The Moment You Believe - Remixes I Want Candy - Club Junkies Mix and B Side 'Already Gone' Carolyna - Some of the remixes This Time [song] - B Side 'We Love to Entertain You' and the Alternate Mix of 'Understand' (it just plays the album version) Rock Me - Steve More Remixes Think About It - Remixes & Acoustic Version - Live at Hitradio Ö3 Weak - A Capella & Instrumental Let There Be Love - Restricted to certain countries I Know Him So Well - Radio Edit used to be available but became unavailable He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother - Became unavailable Loving You - Some of the remixes Dear Life - 'Something for the Fire' Live Hold On - Radio Edit used to be available but became unavailable Room for Love - Live at Shepherd's Bush Empire 2017 version + other random songs, such as tracks that were exclusive to DVDs (Blue Skies All the Way, Paris Is Burning, Too Soon) P.S. A bit shocking how much of her Red Girl material in particular is missing considering it's in Melanie C's hands to make this stuff available! Also it's criminal that some of the earlier Red Girl singles had their HQ artworks replaced with awful scans of physical sleeves/booklets  Including the This Time single being given the album artwork... so sloppy.and finally... Emma Bunton Free Me & Life in Mono - albums not streamable in many countries What I Am - Some of the remixes What Took You So Long? - B Sides '(Hey You) Free Up Your Mind' & 'Merry-Go Round' Take My Breath Away - Single Mix, Tin Tin Out Mix and B Sides 'Close Encounter' & 'Invincible' Free Me - Remixes Maybe - Remixes and B Side 'Don't Tell Me You Love Me Anymore' I'll Be There - Remixes and B Sides 'So Long' and 'Takin It Easy' Crickets Sing for Anamaria - Some of the remixes Downtown - Two of the Element remixes All I Need to Know - Radio Edit, other remixes and B Side 'Midnights & Martinis' Sure, the majority of this stuff listed (particularly remixes/live versions) isn't hugely pressing. I just think it's a shame that when their music was digitised, it was mostly approached in a half-assed fashion. So many songs that will only live on a fan's hard drive/iTunes or unofficial YouTube uploads. A particular bugbear for me personally is the Single Mix of Take My Breath Away never being available to stream. I prefer it to the album version! |

Damn, when you lay it down like this, they are very careless with their own music, for sure. I think the group itself has most of its releases online right?
