Couldn't see an existing single topic (but if there is feel free to merge). Anyway, the 4K version of the girls in their Bacofoil finest has now landed. I can practically hear Cheryl wincing in agony 🤣

It's the best song from debut album and their first number one in my chart.

Same for me it's a brilliant single, I miss the days of getting singles like this, no one releases songs like these anymore.

Wow I'm late on this one, even though I have been impatiently waiting for it! It looks a lot better.
 I'm not entirely convinced it's a truly 4K rescanned footage remaster... the opening scenes are giving AI with the lack of detail on their faces. Even with them being distance shots there should really be more facial detail there. Regardless, overall it's a big improvement.

HD video for 'No Good Advice' now available to watch!
It doesn't seem like they've gone back to the original footage this time but it's still a decent upgrade. I guess 'Sound of the Underground' had the alternative video so they were going back to the original footage anyway. |

Seems so!
Omg the artwork they've used for No Good Advice is terrible quality   Full image to really highlight what a terrible scan it is: https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Mu...000x3000bb.jpeg Disappointing

A shame because it's a fantastic single cover!

QUOTE(-Jay- @ Jul 23 2023, 02:05 AM) I'm not entirely convinced it's a truly 4K rescanned footage remaster... Is it possible to redo a video in true 4K if it contains special effects (like NGA does)? |

In theory yes but they'd have to re-do them from scratch (some of the Steps videos went the extra mile to do this).

Steps fans were really spoilt with the video enhancements. Their label clearly have a solid investment in their long term career.

Why can't the same guy do these enhancements for GA videos? I think it's sought after and he might get something out of it.
I feel like it's a case of GA's team (of you can call it that now) just don't care and don't think it's worthwhile investing proper effort, which is a shame! |

It actually is the same person doing the Girls Aloud remasters that did the Steps remasters!
I do think for the most part the remaster looks great, there's just certain frames that look a bit dodgy... For instance the very first frame of the girls lacks detail:  But even this more close up shot of Nadine towards the middle of the video looks artificial:
