Sideout

Stating the obvious.

Get more music out? It's not like the standard edition of the album filled up a whole 80 min CD. The deluxe edition was a total cash grab.

I never said she didn't need multiple formats. She didn't need a deluxe edition when the original album only had 10 tracks.

It's Melanie and her team's fault for producing too many deluxe album copies. She didn't need a deluxe version in the first place.

A one off Christmas song or an EP is a good idea to test the waters. Heck, releasing Feed Your Love as a buzz "single" to promote an anniversary edition of Spice would be a good idea. The girls definitely need reassurance there is still an audience for new material. Let's hope they dip their toes and get that reassurance.

There's plenty of things Universal Music Group could do to expand their discography if the girls let them. Why would UMG invest in increasing the group's streaming numbers when the girls themselves are not willing to play ball? It's so frustrating.

Honestly, almost half the album is b-side material. Superstar, Don't Get Any Better, Passion, So I Give Up On Love and Surrender Your Groove does nothing for me. Can't believe 100% Pure Love and Set Me Off were left off the album.

I agree, the Ian Masterson and Hannah Robinson tracks are the best on Passion (Love Never Loved Me, Let Me Love You More, There's Always Tomorrow). I would love to hear the two unreleased songs they did for the album (Disco Sister Music, Geri's Got Her Groove Back).

A ballads compilation album like Something To Remember would be a no brainer. Include 2 or 3 unreleased songs and fans will buy it. Easy money for the girls and Universal Music Group. 1. 2 Become 1 2. Mama 3. Too Much 4. Viva Forever 5. Goodbye 6. Let Love Lead The Way 7. Headlines 8. Angels 9. Treasure 10. A Day In Your Life They could tack on Oxygen and Time Goes By if they wanted to make it a 12 track album.

I'm surprised the girls haven't cashed in on a ballads compilation album. Universal Music Group probably would milk their catalogue if the girls didn't have veto power.

If they don't release Feed Your Love next year, then they totally have lost the plot.

Thanks for sharing. Ridiculous selling a low quality Victoria track for $400. I can't believe people bought it.

Interesting. Weird a producer would endanger their career in order to sell old Victoria songs.

Thanks.

If Melanie wanted to sell more deluxe editions of her album, she should have had a better track list. Having a deluxe edition of a ten track album is silly. No wonder she didn't sell that many.

If she wanted to sell deluxe editions of the album, she wouldn't be putting Into You on Spotify.

That's cool. Do you remember the name of the song? I've always wanted to hear the tracks she did with Barlow and Eliot Kennedy.

He still does one on Spice Circle occasionally. He started to get mad because people were leaking the Touch tracks. Someone also leaked the Damon Dash Victoria tracks days after that campaign ended. So basically everyone paid a whole bunch of money for nothing. Agent Spice also started a campaign for the 4 Eliot Kennedy Forever tracks for thousands of dollars. Thankfully Ken Adams leaked them so Agent Spice and his "secret donator" didn't get any money.

It's not the 2000's anymore. Re-releasing an album with 2 new songs is not gonna sell by the bucket loads like it did back in the day. The album has already sold 10,000 copies in the UK. It's not gonna sell much more. Her last 4 albums have only sold between 10,000 - 14,000 copies in the UK.

At this point, anyone who wanted the album already has it. She's not gonna shift anymore albums unless she gets more radio airplay with a new single.

It's funny how all those campaigns Agent Spice did contained an unreleased Touch song. Obviously, certain fans have them, but they want to make money off of them.

I can't believe certain fans are still holding onto the Touch songs. So ridiculous. I want to hear Melody of Life in full so bad.

Spill the tea Sammy. At least give us a hint. Watch it be a Spice re-issue with a new pink bracelet while Feed Your Love and Likely Stories stay in the vault.

I agree with all of this. They could milk their catalogue, but they don't. Hopefully they will start doing so next year. If I was advising the girls I would have them release Feed Your Love at the beginning of October next year to build hype for the 25th anniversary edition of Spice, which would be released at the beginning of November. I would have a pre-order of the anniversary edition of Spice available the same day Feed Your Love is released to Spotify/iTunes. Fans can also pre-order limited edition individual vinyls of the Spice album. Emma cover/pink vinyl Mel B cover/green vinyl Geri cover/ruby red vinyl Melanie C cover/yellow vinyl Victoria cover/red vinyl Last, but not least announce a summer 2022 tour at the end of November. The hype of the tour announcement will help sell the 25th anniversary edition of Spice all throughout December.
