I would be very surprised if we didn't get a deluxe edition of Spice next year. It's one of the best selling albums of all time. If they do release one fingers crossed it includes Feed Your Love, Likely Stories, Step To Me and the radio edit of the Who Do You Think You Are Morales Club remix.

I'd love forever to get re released as a deluxe and get it to platinum.

 

It is already Platinum :cheer:

This will be so dreamy! :wub:

We're so close to the 25th anniversary of the Spice era. Do you have any hopes/expectations for physical (or even digital) items you'd like them to release?

 

Assuming that a Spice album re-release happens, I truly hope they do it justice. I think it should include the B Sides and any unreleased or demo tracks, at the very least. Commissioning some new remixes would be nice. Basically they should do the same as what Sugababes have done for their debut. They need to make a Spice reissue enticing enough for people to want to buy it again! I'll honestly be so disappointed in them/their label if they re-release it but it's just the 10 tracks.

 

Formats... I mean, there's many possibilities. I think the "individual girl" artwork gimmick would be fun, they could do CDs (maybe slipcases). There's been a number of vinyl editions in recent years, but there's still different things they could do with vinyl - a picture disc would be easy, but ideally they would do a deluxe vinyl with a gatefold sleeve, 2 vinyl, with the second disc having B Sides/unreleased songs (I really won't hold my breath for this lol). Even new cassettes would be cute, they could have different colour cassettes and maybe do the individual girl covers for these too.

 

I still yearn for a singles box set, on CD and/or 7" vinyl. If they're focusing specifically on the Spice era then maybe this is unrealistic, but even if they only did it for the Spice singles I'd still appreciate it.

 

I kind of hope that their upcoming anniversary celebrations isn't purely focused on Spice, but is also generally about their whole career, because in that case there's more scope for different items they could release. A book with pictures over the years and commentary from them - I've wanted this to exist since before Return of the Spice Girls era lol. Give it to us!

 

Spiceworld The Movie re-release on DVD/Blu-ray, please!

 

When it comes to merch, I hope they can think of more than just t-shirts and hoodies... even new mugs would make a change from the endless hoodies lol.

I think Wannabes anniversary will basically be to set up Spice anniversary. If I had to guess how things will go from what I've heard and filling in the blanks myself it will be -

 

Pre-order for physical bundles of Spice go up for pre-order the week or weeks before Wannabe anniversary with a Wannabe single included in one of the bundles that will come out in Nov.

 

I'm certain there will be an exclusive vinyl through a well known UK store that will tie into the above release schedule too of Spice.

 

How I see the timeline going

 

End of June pre-order for Spice

July Wannabe anniversary small project by the girls with a big hint of more to come

Beginning of Nov Spice formats release

Week later tour announcement

 

What formats we get for Spice are mainly down to what UMC feel are most profitable. I'm sure Wannabe will be used to push streaming and Spice pre-orders than anything as there isn't much money to be made from a stand alone Wannabe physical.

The Prince estate has done an amazing job with the reissue of Purple Rain, 1999 and Sign O' The Times. Would love for the girls and Universal Music Group to go deep in the vaults like the Prince estate has. I will be highly disappointed if we don't get Feed Your Love and Likely Stories.

 

I really hope they focus on the music, highlighting their songwriting talents. A track by track commentary video of the girls, Biffco, Absolute and Eliot Kennedy discussing all of the songs from the Spice era would be a real treat. It would show how they were not a manufactured group. They co-wrote all their songs. This would be great for their legacy.

They just have to include Feed Your Love and Likely Stories as well as Wannabe's demo and the rap-version of Say You'll Be There! It would be wild if they dont... Commission a couple of 'current' acts to do some new mixes of Wannabe, Say You'll Be There and 2 Become 1 too. That would bring the music to a new generation and they could even play with them on tour!

 

HELL even the If You Cant Dance, Love Thing and 2 Become 1 demos could be really good to show up on a re-release! They were fantastic demos that really showed how different of the rest of pop music they were back then!

 

That for me is the priority. B-sides be really fun too, of course, but for me this is less a priority.

 

The thing about these sort of releases is exactly the time to cement your legacy by celebrating it and expanding on it, show how it was done and put together. Dive in on stories around the art works and include previously-unheard material. It's just common sense to do that.

YES YES YES! to the above comments

You finally get what you want :cheer:

I cant quite yet believe that we are getting Feed Your Love after all these years OFFICIALLY :wub:

 

Hope we will get more later this year too!!

After all the pointless Spice vinyl reissues I can't believe they're actually finally going to release something worthwhile :drama:

I do like that we have straight-forward editions of the vinyls but yes it is about time we have more incentives to purchase them!

Hopefully the girls/UMC see the fans demand for a filmed/audio recorded concert. Would be great to close this anniversary with DVD/Blu-Ray/Netflix recording of their anniversary tour with a live album on the streaming services.

A live album would be excellent to be honest! Really cement their touring career, in my opinion. It is a shame that teh Birmingham audio was never released. They should have totally recorded the Wembley dates back in 1998 and 2019 and release those as live albums!

Yeah definitely think that's something that could be put forward to the team at UMC through some of us fans that the live album sat in the vaults would be amazing to have.

I’m still gobsmacked they didn’t release Wembley as a live album in 1998 it was a sure fire smash hit live album waiting to happen!!?!

I wish they were like Kylie nearly all her tours since Showgirl have live albums on Spotify. Imagine if we had Istanbul,Birmingham’98,Wembley’98,Earl’s Court,O2 Arena 2007 and Wembley 2019 all on Spotify/Apple Music that would’ve been amazing but I know it’s the Spice Girls and I’m asking too much :lol:

There is really no reason they can't put the Birmingham live album on Spotify, they don't even have to release a physical (although they should!!) if they don't want to. I mean I think they could easily go top 10 and probably top 3 depending on the time of year they released it if they did go the full whack.

They could easily cash in with it a bit with minimal effort. I can see it going Top10 (maybe a 5 or 6) for one week at least.

 

It is a shame because we know that those recordings exist. In fact the only tour we know wasn't audio broadcast (and thus, recorded) was Spiceworld 2019. Even the return tour had a Radio 2 broadcast.

 

Slap it on the interwebs and do a vinyl and call it a day! :wub:

 

(are we getting away with our luck here though? :blush: .... We will most probably get nothing new so I hope we can still dream lol -_-

They should have released a Live CD from their tour with a bonus dvd.

With them never releasing a Live album the fans would give it huge support.
