Posted May 13, 200619 yr Take That album to hit shelves at Xmas Source: Music Week Polydor is aiming to release new Take That material by Christmas, with a single to precede the album release in October. The label, which emerged victorious in the fight to sign the group, is currently finalising a top US producer to produce the album and the group will head to LA to begin recording after their current live dates are complete. Polydor co-managing director Colin Barlow believes there is strong potential to reach both existing fans and extending to a new audience. “The important thing with this album is to ensure we really push the envelope and making a great record that really captures the moment. This is a brilliant second opportunity for them and they know that.†The deal with Polydor incorporates a new studio album and the DVD release of their comeback tour, which will come to a end this month. Barlow says releases beyond that are an option. “We’re all mature enough to be able to look each other in the eye and say ‘look, this could be the start of something,’ but it really depends on how the market reacts to this record.†After forming in 1991, Take That notched up eight number one singles and sold 25m records across the globe, making them the most commercially successful English act since the Beatles. They announced their split on February 13 1996, famously prompting The Samaritans to set up a dedicated phone line for distraught fans.
May 13, 200619 yr This could be HUGE or a big flop but I'm guessing by the tour that it'll the first option ;)
May 13, 200619 yr I hope they come back with a bang and take over from Pestlife cause unlike them they write their own stuff which is pretty decent.
May 13, 200619 yr Are they 'Back for Good'?? :lol: *but-tum-tish* :lol: I agree Scotty I'd rather have Take That than Westlife, anyway I like some Take That songs :blush:
May 13, 200619 yr I agree Scotty I'd rather have Take That than Westlife, anyway I like some Take That songs :blush: Agreed! I hope they can prove that some boybands actually release interesting music and show Wasteoflife a thing or two.
May 14, 200619 yr Agreed! I hope they can prove that some boybands actually release interesting music and show Wasteoflife a thing or two. Wait till Charis come back :puke2:
May 14, 200619 yr I don't think they'll be back for long. Album "out in time for Christmas" translates as "we want to make as much money as possible from this one so we don't have to reform again" The other three are "writing" with Gary on the new stuff too...presumably part of the deal so they can make more cash from the publishing rights. So, for that reason, I hope it's a moderate success...not so big that they keep going, but enough so that they don't have to keep going...if you see what I mean.
May 14, 200619 yr I predict this will be Christmas No.1 2006 in the album chart. No, I reckon the Spice Girls will be #1 at Xmas. :cheer:
May 14, 200619 yr Actually I fear I might be tempted to buy it considering it's likely to be quite good considering some of the songs Gary Barlow has written :blush: If You Come Back :wub:
May 14, 200619 yr People only remember Take That because of Robbie Williams. If he wasn´t so big then Take That would be past, like Five and all other boys bands. I hope Dido has a new album this year too, so Take That will have to content with the runner up position during the whole christmas period :dance:
May 14, 200619 yr No, I reckon the Spice Girls will be #1 at Xmas. :cheer: :puke2: :puke2: The thought makes me feel ill :lol: :lol:
