Now that I’m up and awake I’m listening to this from start to finish and…. It’s great! It’s so been worth the wait!

I have Charmed and Mini Eggs to tide me over until midnight

I mean, some are just really rough drafts - there was one that came up that came up the other day during shuffle that had Mutya doing a chorus/verse with faint Keisha backing vocals over a dance beat (think it was TSOB 1 Woz); Arrow, the other Shaznay Lewis track, is basically Sugababes feat Shaznay because she's still so prominent on the track. And so on.

With that said, with polishing they could easily release another "Lost Tapes" or even two. But they might actually want to save some of those tracks for the "real" album they'll eventually release since I think Keisha was in the studio polishing one of the tracks that didn't make the tracklisting (Only You, I believe).

Yeah some are proper rough, some were even still with session singers!

Arrow is great tho.


I do hope we get a final Only You at some point, because it is fabulous. I do love it a lot. Would not complain if it ends up being on the next album

QUOTE(One_For_Sorrow @ Dec 23 2022, 10:04 PM) *
Wow that’s still a lot. Would love to hear them one day.

The only noticeable omission for me is Love In Stereo, but that’s understandable given it went to Bananarama.

Shame that they lost that one

QUOTE(tommie @ Dec 23 2022, 10:12 PM) *
I think it'd be a bit rude to use it to be honest considering Bananarama has it as you said.

At one point Summer of 99 was allegedly given to Little Mix. Too In Love has the same backing track as James Arthur's Get Down so it'll likely never be released either.

Im not really mourning the loss of Too In Love tbh, but i can't imagine Little Mix on Summer of 99

Heading out for some last minute Christmas shopping. Of course I’m buying an iTunes card for myself so that I can purchase this on iTunes!

People can fill in the credits for the missing tracks...

There is no metadata included in this release. No credits whatsoever. sad.gif

The Beat is Gone is already one of their best album tracks ever in its final mastered version isn’t it?

I have to say I’m gutted they have played with the chorus production of Summer of ‘99. The demo versions chorus was just way more anthemic.

Victory is the one I am most shook by. That’s a huge change from the demo and it is so so so so much better

I clearly need to give this one more listens as I think it didn’t really stick with me on first listen.

I never heard the demo of this but I’m really surprised. It’s very Sia, in a good way. Could’ve seen this making the top 40 in 2014 if it got a single release.

It’s my most played of the demos, I’ve been head over heals for it since 2013 when they played it live for the first time. Can’t believe it’s finally here in a fully mastered and released form. It’s one of their best tracks ever for me

Ain’t it just!!! So good


The intro slaps so hard and the verses really work with the rework of S99 I think

The vocals on Back In The Down sound like they’ve all been completely re-recorded vs the demo and my god it’s magnificent. The new blend on the chorus boosts Mutya up and god it just hits this sweet spot

That and No Regrets are my top 2 I think. I was obsessed with No Regrets from first listen of that YouTube video back in 2013. I’m so happy it’s finally here in HQ form.

No Regrets is the one that got me in the feels.

On my second listen through now. wub.gif


Gonna need some time before I could even start to rank and order them all. Which is weird coz some of these tracks we’ve had for 6 years (as of today) already!

Yeah I'll need more time too I think. Probably after Christmas.

Downloaded my copy from iTunes. Though I’ll probably just continue to stream it.

Victory is possibly my favourite song instantly! I’ll give more thoughts tomorrow!
