Yes please What Will The Neighbours Say? reissue :wub: I do have the promo vinyl but that only includes 6 tracks so would love the full set.

 

I definitely remember being intrigued by the quirkiness of 'The Show's lyrics at the time (e.g. "should've fluttered my mascara like a butterfly") but it didn't turn into a proper favourite until I was a bit older and appreciated synth-pop of its kind more - nowadays it would rank very high for me.

What Will the Neighbours Say? turned 19 years old yesterday!

In many ways this feels like their proper debut album.

 

Sound of the Underground was so messy as a complete record and didn’t really know what it wanted to be.

 

This feels like them and what they evolved into.

Baby When You Go

 

:o No Way! SO excited for these !

Looking forward to hearing that sliding doors career moment (and the other two unreleased songs! Yay for them opening the vault).

 

In my mind I’ve always imagined Cheryl on the chorus and a black and white video. No matter how it sounds though, I’m sure they made the right choice to can it as a single.

Very excited for this! Three unreleased songs. :cheeseblock: It'll certainly be extremely interesting to hear their version of Wicked Game in particular, 19 years(!) after it appeared on the release schedule.

^ Remixes without a note next to them are already available!

 

Very nice that they're including the TV/Performance edits of the singles. They didn't do that for No Good Advice, Life Got Cold or Jump on the Sound of the Underground re-release, so I wasn't anticipating it for What Will the Neighbours Say? - so that's pleasantly surprising.

Baby When You Go I am almost 99.9% certain will be the same song that Mania (the short lived Xenomania duo of Niara Scarlett and Giselle Somerville) recorded for their cancelled debut album, "Do You Know Your Daughter's On The Roof?", which was due out the same year but cancelled after their single "Looking For A Place" flopped.

 

Their version is here at about 15:15 on this video of their album sampler:

It certainly seems so! I haven't heard Mania's version so I'll hold off, so it makes the Girls Aloud version seem new/original/theirs :kink:

I've lived with the Mania version for 18 years (I acquired their album sampler on eBay around 2006 in lieu of the fact that a handful of their songs on it, namely "I'm Not Shy" and "Money In My Pocket", ended up re-recorded by Frank, the band who supported GA on the Chemistry Tour who had their own T4 show Totally Frank! Small old world really when it comes to Xenomania).

I really can't express how inspiring it is to see a team who really care about their artists managing these re-releases. The fact we're getting a whole bunch of unreleased stuff, in addition to remixes, rare tracks, etc. is just unheard of and really reads like fanfic. There's a lot of acts Spice Girls who should really take note with how much love has been poured into this project.

Preorder is live!

Same as last time - 3CD, colour vinyl (blue) & picture disc. Vinyl, and the bundle of all 3, include a sheet of stickers. Although on this occasion there’s no merchandise such as t shirts. :thinking: Maybe they want fans to wait to buy merch at the tour?

 

A little article from Form UK design about the album, including some pictures from the developmental stage of the original 2004 sleeve design.

Looking forward to the electronic mix of I’ll Stand By You too, missed that when I first saw the track listing, i’m assuming that was the version they were originally going to release before they went to the standard ballad version for CIN
