This is what happens when you release an album in the middle of a pandemic.

 

 

This isn't the consumers fault though. Everything you said might be very well be true but then any sound business will have either earmarked money in case that happens or figured that into the pricing beforehand. This pandemic has been going on for 7 months. Prepare to fail, don't fail to prepare.

 

Again, some people commenting only when things go wrong just for the sake of trashing Mel.

 

These things happen. The store is not directly controlled by her, so get a life and support her instead of pretending to know shit you don't.

I poked my head into The Spice Circle and the reactions are cringe. They may have changed their name, but it's still the same DenDen.

Oh please no business prepares for a hike in posting costs by that amount. 🙄 I’m bored now so going to stop responding it gets tedious seeing the same negative posts about Melanie which wouldn’t be posted were it someone else in their position tbh.

I have her black vinyl saved for later in my Amazon basket if that makes you all feel better. Will order it later, I'm kinda over ever buying a cd again it's vinyls or nothing for me these days.

Mel has offered a €5 refund to those effected by the pre-order cancelling mess. She has done the right thing, as I said it was handled horribly and if this was a company delivering a fridge cancelling your order to hike the price offcom or the consumer watch dog would be getting an email straight away.

 

I know we all love Mel and this was probably out of her hands but what the company tried to do was really bad.

I know we all love Mel

I wonder if you would have been as critical, had this thing happened with an Emma / Spice Girls release. :teresa:

Well will never know as they honoured their release prices.

To be fair, neither Emma or the Spice Girls released anything during a pandemic where shipping prices continuously fluntuate. Knowing how money-grabbing the Spice Girls in general are, I doubt they would have offered you a £5 as a thank you... Furthermore, I highy doubt Baby Bunton would have cared that much as she would be backed by a record lable anyway...

 

No point doing comparisons though. Mel C has interveened in the right way now, and we now know that it isnt due to her incompetence but the company that deals with her store. So lets not start a bitch fight and lets celebrate the fact that things are being resolved AND we have new music being released THIS FRIDAY :cheer:

I didn't bring Emma or Spice Girls into it, maybe quote the person who did if you want to say 'no point making comparisons'.

The voice of reason... I think you should take my place as Mod :lol:

What a privilege to be a Melanie C fan. When your faves?

lets not start a discussion on the tripe your fav has released over the years though cos for the most part, I wish she hadnt released anything at all :teresa:

Any way I've just ordered the black vinyl from Amazon and might get the blue hmv vinyl. Don't want any cds or anything signed I think it ruins the items.

Finally ordered one, got the 2cd deluxe version

There are fans who will but all the different versions which is highly costly.

It would be nice if Mel can make it to the Top 10 this time.

From the poll results so far, 20 of us have bought 42 formats between us! :cheer:

My order has been dispatched! :dance:

the test pressing is sold out.

I managed to get one, it sold out very quickly.

Didn't even know there was a test pressing? Were there many copies?
