August 1Aug 1 I’d also like this hoping to nab a CD! I’m glad they’re also continuing with these and hope they do the Tangled Up and Out of Control eras too when it’s time for their 20th anniversary (or sooner). It would be nice if this one could also nab a top 40 re-entry! I guess it depends on what the additional material is.
August 3Aug 3 Glad they are doing this, while not my fave album from them id like to see all their albums available on vinyl.
August 3Aug 3 I just hope the Christmastry vinyl comes too! 😍Confession: I haven't actually bought any of the vinyls yet, keep waiting for them to drop in price, I'd buy Chrismastry in a heartbeat thought! Was it showed as Christmas round ours or something?
August 4Aug 4 I was wondering when this would surface, but seems they are roughly sticking to the 20-year anniversary dates albeit a few months out. Also looking forward to having Singapore on streaming finally!

August 5Aug 5 It'll be interesting to see which The Sound of Girls Aloud released songs are lumped in with Chemistry. The aforementioned Singapore indeed belongs to the third album demo sessions, so it's perfect to include, but what about...Something Kinda OooohThe Crazy LifeMoneyI Think We're Alone Now [I wonder if their team will remember there was an original album version, or if they'll only consider the single mix?]Why Do It(+ remixes of Something Kinda Ooooh and I Think We're Alone Now)It would feel a bit odd to me if those 2 singles are retroactively packaged with Chemistry*. I'm not convinced they'd re-release The Sound of Girls Aloud though, even though it is their best selling release (and seeing that artwork on vinyl would be a hoot x). So if it's the only way for SKO and ITWAN to have their moment in the reissues, I'll accept them on Chemistry. [I would then be disappointed if they're only on the CD but not on the vinyl though, because I'd love to have Something Kinda Ooooh on vinyl].I wonder what else could be on Chemistry? Maybe songs we don't even know about. There's also an unreleased version of What a Feeling that could be included!* It wouldn't be the first time they've awkwardly shoehorned Something Kinda Ooooh and I Think We're Alone Now on a release of theirs. The albums box set from 2013 included them (and Something New) on the B Sides disc!

I Think We're Alone Now (Co-Stars Epic Club Mix) I Think We're Alone Now~I am of course very happy that we're getting a few unheard tracks, excited to hear those! It's also good that the gaps in their digital catalogue are going to be filled, particularly having Singapore and Money available.In some respects the track list isn't giving as much as What Will the Neighbours Say? did though. That included 4 edited remixes, but this time they've not done that and have opted to just have the full length mixes we already have. WWTNS? also included the "performance/TV" versions of the singles from that era, and those do exist for Chemistry/TSOGA era singles, but they've not included them here.What a Feeling?, a cover which we know exists, isn't included! There were hopes for an extended Intro - and unless that happens to be Naked in the Shower or You Go Too Fast, then that's not become a reality. Same goes for whether the Sunsilk advert jingle is a part of one of those songs or not.Personally I'm not quite sure how I feel about the revisionism of including The Sound of Girls Aloud era stuff into the Chemistry era; I'm leaning towards not being overly keen on that - but it's happening, so I will have to accept the decision! My main disappointment about this, is that Something Kinda Ooooh and I Think We're Alone Now may not find their way onto a vinyl release... seeing as the Chemistry vinyl is just the original 13 tracks. This isn't a good indication that they'll eventually do a The Sound of Girls Aloud vinyl!
