A new front cover would help fans/music lovers to see it in a better light! :lol:

Agreed! :lol: Although perversely I am quite excited to see the Forever artwork blown up to 12" vinyl size :lol:

Weirdly I am too, I think it looks better already and I don't know why :lol:

Does anyone fancy doing a Forever streaming party on here tomorrow (just for us fans here on the forum)?

 

Would be nice to acknowledge the album on the actual anniversary even though we will give it a push during the vinyl release week.

I would be up for it! Sometime in the evening?

I would be up for it but I am watching a theatre show from 6pm -9pm already so might not be around for it... But will certainly comment afterwards

20 years ago today I went to pick up Forever at the local cd shop and the guy never heard of our girls and called them Spice curruls. Even my mum remembers this happening and still laughs about it.

I remember that in European countries CDs used to come out the Friday before the UK release, and I walked past a (closed) CD shop on Saturday night and was fuming I didn't go to buy it the day before, so I would have to wait til Monday afternoon when CD shops would open the following week XD

Their social media is pushing the vinyl again for the 20th anniversary. Going by Amazon the pre-orders for Forever are much stronger than Spiceworld was. I'd be shocked if this doesn't make top 200, top 100 if we get behind it and download/stream the album come the 20th.

I'm READY to buy multiple copies during release week :cheer: Do we have a full list of places you can get the album from?

 

Like, a list like this:

 

Amazon

iTunes

Deezer

 

anymore?

A little birdie told me Jay will be making a topic for the vinyl and getting behind it to get it to chart, with stats on sales needed.

 

I've got the vinyl pre-ordered, will stream on my Amazon Music and download from Amazon.

 

I think Forever is £3.99 on itunes so dirt cheap. Jay can post all the stats later but it took 57 downloads to chart on the official UK album download chart last week so we can certainly get it to chart on there as well as the vinyl and overall album chart.

Yes it's gonna be great if we can all get behind this.

 

I'm also going to share on Instagram, FB and Spice Circle and will also be collaborating with other big fan pages on FB with a big reach.

 

I've purposely waited until the week of the 20th to download the album on both iTunes and Amazon

Great yeah a big push with all the fan social media accounts on the 20th would be great.

 

With us being in lockdown that might help too as it will definitely lower sales needed to be top 200, 100, 50 and so on.

Streaming won't be the strongest compared to download sales and vinyls but how realistic is a Top 100 entry on the album chart?

I think it would need fans to get behind it and download it as well. When Spiceworld vinyl was released it was #90 on the Monday midweek but had only 2 download sales that really let it down. It also never really did that we'll on pre-orders too. It never went above #8 on Amazon bestsellers where as Forever went to #1.

I forgot how much I loved the uptempo tracks and how I despised the ballads. Time Goes By is extremely bad when it comes to vocals, you can get how limited their vocals abilities are for songs like that. Forever is top notch in terms of production and has some great moments like IYWHSF, Holler, LLLTW, TMW, RBAY, GDWM WMT. Oxygen is 🤢

 

Right Back At Ya still screams no.1, Mel B spoken part, Emma vocals, Mel C raspiness in the middle 8 and Vicky presence. Such a pity 😭

Right Back At Ya, released in Spring 2000 would have done really well, I think! Probably another #1, though probably the pop version would have done even better!

 

I agree on the ballads front, it's where the album lacks. LLLTW is the best on the album but even that one isnt exactly on par with the ballads on the other albums. Time Goes By is great for vocals, but overall the song is a bit of a slug to get through!

 

I wish they had released If You Wanna Have Some Fun as a single as well. With a nice single edit and a club video, it would have slapped!! Maybe they could have played the Mel C/Bunton game and release a whole differnt mix, more club-dance type of remix.

 

Im glad Forever is getting some much needed love for it, finally. It's always a thing that people learn to like things with time that didnt seem right when they first came out. But I feared Forever was meant to always be sidelined. Whilst it still is (doubt they will do much with it on tour, for instance), at least it is getting more recognition now!

I agree with everything except about time goes by. I adore that song it's so beautiful :wub: LLLTW is the strongest ballad though. :heart:

 

IYWHSF would have been ace as a shorted radio edit, the song is fab but it drags out FAR too long, Emma killing us all asking if we're having fun (Nooo I stopped having fun half an hour ago when you asked for the 20th time) :lol:

This Bunton shade is unwelcome :smoke: but true :jump:
