Another hinderance is that the vinyl isn't available until July 23rd, whereas the download and seemingly the cassette are out on July 9th.

Edit: Canada actually has July 23rd for the cassette as well!

The original image appeared in a press release and was sent to Amazon, to me that suggests that UMC were intending for that to be a true reflection of the product when they submitted those pictures?

 

It doesn't really matter what the reason for change is, of course, and we'll never likely find out an official reason :cool:

 

I've read a theory that the silver cardboard packaging is already printed, which is a separate process to the vinyl discs, which haven't been printed yet. So whatever the reason for the vinyl design change, they had the time to do this before they submit the design to the factory.

Maybe Spice Circle will get Woman after all. :dance:

Woman (Spice Circle Demanded Demo Version) :cheeseblock:

 

It'll be interesting to see whether they have plans for demos from every era, or if they're only focusing on the Spice era specifically. I still think Emma quoting the lyric on Instagram is suspicious.

All I'll say is Geri was in a studio alone and there is 1 Spice Girl missing from Woman. If they are to make this 25 years celebration of the Spice Girls and it be all 5 included and the one song fans have begged for has 4 girls on it there is one way to solve that.

If they lined up cassette and vinyl release and we do a download spree I think it will chart.

Melanie C would probably let Geri re-record her parts in the song. Melanie C hates Woman and wants nothing to do with it.

She doesn't hate it. The line about bsides and Mel C always playing down unreleased music is because they've never all agreed to release unreleased stuff before. They are now. They haven't all 5 been on board aside from the Olympics since 2007 when they recorded new music and released a GH.

Ah, I did like the first cover but the new one is indeed so much better. The picture feels much more like '96 Spice era and I love the colourful font, exciting times.

 

Chart wise, I honestly don't care. I mean of course it would be fab to see them appearing somewhere again, but we have to remember this is just a celebration for the fans. The general public is not going to care about a vinyl or cassette. The song has already done everything and more so in it's chart live and the streaming will continue to be great for years to go (I assume), so that's all I could ask for.

How do you know this!??

WOMAN was recorded after Geri left.

Woman with Geri and Song For Her with Mel/Victoria would be nice additions to the five piece catalogue. ❤️

 

 

lol, they're not going to put Geri on a track with 20+ year old vocals from the other girls.

 

(And if they do - oohooo booy)

They mimed to 1997 vocals Stop in 2007 so anything is possible :lol:

Which bit? Geri posted a pic of herself in the recording studio not long ago.

Geri obviously was re-recording Victoria's part in the single version of 2 Become 1. Geri is taking back her verse once and for all! 😂

I hope no. Vicky B verse is inclusive and iconic. 😎

Can’t wait for the celebrations to begin

Imagine if these were real...

That looks fan-freaking-tastic. I honestly don't know why they are not making individual ones, their fanbase would eat it up and could be a real money maker.

That looks very good, the 5 individuals would have gone down well.
