I think they want to keep it a "surprise" until tomorrow, not knowing it would be out Down Under hours earlier :lol: Their tour app thing send out a message today saying 'we have a Christmas surprise tomorrow'.

 

I just cannot believe this is happening! After all these years. Wow. Just wow. I was actually kinda speechless and almost teary eyed when I first read the news.

I’m so happy! 🥰

 

And I haven’t heard all of the songs, especially in HQ! So it’s also gonna be something new to me after all this time.

I’m hoping they might give us something tonight when it goes live in the UK but I don’t think They’re going to acknowledge it until midnight

Right? Was a smidge emosh earlier when the news broke of what it actually was going to be. After hoping for this album for so so so many years it’s going to be absolutely incredible to actually have it

Honestly for me, as someone who hasn't really listened to the leaked album it is basically a 'new' album to me as so much of it will be new to me! Very exciting.

 

If they release physicals I will be buying every variant!

What an incredible gift to wake up to!

 

 

Thank you lovely ladies!!

 

Will we be doing a rate or listening party down the line?

 

Currently at #74 on the iTunes album chart in Australia. Clearly as a country we need better taste.

It’s so fitting because it was Christmas when the very first of the MKS era tracks leaked 🥰 it’s such a nice like 360 moment.

 

 

I have been living for all of these tracks for years but I’m so happy to finally be able to share them with people legally. It’s going to be exciting and interesting to hear the final versions having gotten so used to the leaks

Agreed, it’s been what almost 6 years to the day since the leaks?

 

So nice to have the HQ versions of a lot of these.

 

What’s the first song people are listening to? Or are you going from start to finish?

 

I just couldn’t resist listening to No Regrets first up.

Yeah, it’s was 2016 we got the first of the Scala leaks!

 

Love Me Hard followed a few months later

It's honestly just nice to have an "official" tracklisting - I haven't really been listening to these tracks for the last few years except when they come up on my mp3-player because there's so many of them.

 

And yes, I'll just listen from start to finish since it's their decided order; and now we know Beat Is Gone comes after Metal Heart.

I might just put it in the on shuffle and let apple decide. Either that or I’ll go in the order intended by our lords and saviours (after all Mutya did leak the tracklist meeting audio). Or maybe I’ll go right for Love Me Hard

Thanks, wow time does by fast.

 

I can remember the buzz at the time. I only heard about 5-10 of them so this is a huge treat for me!

Theres like 60 something Tracks out there total from the MKS era. We haven’t got them all by any stretch but it’s a huge catalogue that’s defo kept me going the past 6 years as we’ve been waiting and very much made me a 1.0 stan as there is just some incredible tracks there.

 

I am so Hype to have these in an official and mastered format in a few hours. After 9 years, it’s been a long wait and I’m so excited it’s here

Wow 60! I didn’t realise there was that many.

Theres a couple of versions of the same song, like there’s an extended Love me hard and a Back in the day with Tahlia‘s vocals on it. In terms of overall individual Tracks it’s something like the high 50‘s to 60.

I mean, some are just really rough drafts - there was one that came up that came up the other day during shuffle that had Mutya doing a chorus/verse with faint Keisha backing vocals over a dance beat (think it was TSOB 1 Woz); Arrow, the other Shaznay Lewis track, is basically Sugababes feat Shaznay because she's still so prominent on the track. And so on.

 

With that said, with polishing they could easily release another "Lost Tapes" or even two. But they might actually want to save some of those tracks for the "real" album they'll eventually release since I think Keisha was in the studio polishing one of the tracks that didn't make the tracklisting (Only You, I believe).

Wow that’s still a lot. Would love to hear them one day.

 

The only noticeable omission for me is Love In Stereo, but that’s understandable given it went to Bananarama.

I think it'd be a bit rude to use it to be honest considering Bananarama has it as you said.

 

At one point Summer of 99 was allegedly given to Little Mix. Too In Love has the same backing track as James Arthur's Get Down so it'll likely never be released either.

Thanks, yeah I think you’re right.

 

Glad Little Mix didn’t use Summer of 99 in the end, I’m sure it would’ve been good but I’m happy the Sugababes kept it. Not sure I’ve heard Too In Love though.
