Sideout

If the girls don't want outtakes to be released then they probably don't want demos of album tracks or singles to be released either. If we don't get Feed Your Love and Likely Stories then this 25th anniversary is a bust.

If UMG and the girls management are not colaborating, then I guess that means UMG can release whatever they want from the vault then? So weird they are not collaborating. It doesn't make any sense.

The Prince estate has done an amazing job with the reissue of Purple Rain, 1999 and Sign O' The Times. Would love for the girls and Universal Music Group to go deep in the vaults like the Prince estate has. I will be highly disappointed if we don't get Feed Your Love and Likely Stories. I really hope they focus on the music, highlighting their songwriting talents. A track by track commentary video of the girls, Biffco, Absolute and Eliot Kennedy discussing all of the songs from the Spice era would be a real treat. It would show how they were not a manufactured group. They co-wrote all their songs. This would be great for their legacy.

If Universal Music Group (UMG) doesn't put up a pre-order of Spice by July 8, then we are probably not getting anything this year. :(

Off the top of my head we should at least get: Wannabe (Demo) - heard in Spice World movie Say You'll Be There (Full Length Version) - includes Mel B's full rap Feed Your Love Likely Stories Step To Me Strong Enough - mixed and mastered

Hopefully they announce the pre-order of the Spice reissue on July 8. A tour announcement probably won't happen until October or November, which would be perfect timing with the reissue of Spice.

It's going to be very embarrassing for the girls if they don't milk the fans this year. The Sugababes One Touch anniversary track list is amazing. I hope we get something similar.

Melanie C should not be releasing anything solo this year. Focus on the 25th anniversary of the group.

I know that. I don't see a movie studio or production company investing millions to make a Spice World 2. Spice World's production budget was 25 million dollars. With inflation that would now be around 40 million.

I would rather them use those 2 or 3 months to record a new album than make a unnecessary sequel. A sequel would be too much of a financial risk. Shooting a movie is not cheap.

Let's be honest, a Spice World 2 would bomb financially. Spice World perfectly captures the Spice Girls at their peak. You can't recapture that magic with a sequel 25 years later.

Taking 2 - 3 months out of their schedule to shoot a movie? They can't even commit to a proper world tour haha

This 100%. There's no reason to release new music without touring. Touring is where the money is at.

It was pretty silly of Emma not to tour in the summer of 2004. She left a lot of money on the table by not touring that summer.

Exactly! UMG and the girls should milk the fans with anniversary items since they can't tour. My dream track list for the deluxe edition of Spice would look something like this. Disc 1: Original Album Disc 2: B-Sides, Outtakes, Demos & Remixes 1. Bumper To Bumper 2. Take Me Home 3. One of These Girls 4. Sleigh Ride 5. Baby Come Round 6. Step To Me 7. Feed Your Love 8. Likely Stories 9. Strong Enough 10. Wannabe (Demo) 11. Say You'll Be There (Demo) 12. 2 Become 1 (Demo) 13. Who Do You Think You Are (Demo) 14. Wannabe (Vocal Slam Radio Edit) 15. Say You'll Be There (Junior's 7" Mix) 16. 2 Become 1 (Georgie Porgie Radio Edit) 17. Mama (Biffco Mix) 18. Who Do You Think You Are (Morales Club Mix Radio Edit)

An anniversary edition of Spice with the b-sides along with Feed Your Love & Likely Stories is a no brainer. Let's hope Ms. B-Sides Are B-Sides For A Reason allows this to happen.

Proper greatest hits? As far as greatest hits go, it's a good tracklist. Look up JLO's GH for how not to do a greatest hits.

It's about time they put Step To Me on Spotify.

It's interesting to divide their songs by the best Biffco and Absolute tracks. 1. Spice Up Your Life 2. Wannabe 3. 2 Become 1 4. Saturday Night Divas 5. If U Can't Dance 6. Mama 7. Outer Space Girls 8. Move Over 9. Never Give Up On The Good Times 10. Viva Forever 11. Goodbye 1. Who Do You Think You Are 2. Stop 3. Too Much 4. Do It 5. Denying 6. Something Kinda Funny 7. Naked 8. Last Time Lover 9. Walk of Life 10. Take Me Home 11. The Lady Is A Vamp

They will go down as 90's icons, but not as music legends. Their discography is too small and most think they were a manufactured group who had no input in their music.

At least all 4 girls were involved in the creation of What You Want. Mel C couldn't even be bothered on half of the Darkchild tracks. Mel B didn't show up to record Wasting My Time.

People complaining about What You Want being crap because it "rips off" Five's sound, yet praise the songs on Forever that rips off TLC and Destiny's Child. I can't..............

DVD release in 2021? Hopefully you mean blu-ray or 4K.

The Reason era has some of my favorite Melanie C tracks. I love all of the moody tracks such as Love To You, Living Without You, Home, Wonderland, I Love You Without Trying. I wish more of the album had been in this vein.

I wonder if Image & Likeness and Seven Days are from this Recording session. They are the only registered unreleased songs in which we don't know what era they are from. Image & Likeness only has the 5 girls as writers. Seven Days is written by the 5 girls along with Mark Taylor. Taylor's earliest writing credit is Cher's Believe, which was released in October 1998.
