Sideout

I find it hard to believe the girls went into the studio in November 1998 to record tracks for a 3rd album. Maybe to record My Strongest Suit with Biff as he is the one who produced it.

Releasing a rarities album alongside a tour announcement is such a no brainer. A solid, well crafted rarities album would almost act as a 4th album for them.

That article is trash. Sounds like a PR intern for the girls wrote it. At this point it's ridiculous the girls are sitting on these unreleased tracks. Fans are selling and trading them. They will eventually see the light of day so why not take back control and officially release them.

Go Go Go sounds fantastic. Can't wait for the day we get to hear the full track in all its glory.

I know it will never happen, but it would be interesting if they released an alternative version of Forever that only included tracks recorded in 1999. I feel this would garner more media attention than an anniversary edition of Forever. Forever 1999 1. Right Back At Ya (Pop Version) 2. W.O.M.A.N. 3. Overnight 4. If You Wanna Have Some Fun 5. Holler 6. Treasure 7. What You Want 8. Go Go Go 9. Pain Proof 10. Let Love Lead The Way 11. Goodbye

A rarities album might do well in November alongside a tour announcement. I'll believe it when I see it though.

I don't remember. Feed Your Love was registered years before Spice 25 though.

Pleasin' Me is now registered on ASCAP. Another unreleased track that will never get an official release. https://www.ascap.com/repertory#/ace/search/workID/919822028

The girls have at least 10- 14 useable unreleased tracks. They should have released these songs over the course of the next ten years on different releases. The girls should have planned the next ten years out. At some point the girls will have to say farewell. I don't see them touring in their 60's. July 2021 - Rarities album 2023 - 25th anniversary world tour November 2026 - 30th anniversary edition of Spice November 2027 - 30th anniversary edition of Spiceworld 2028/2029 - Farewell world tour 2030 - 30th anniversary edition of Forever

Very interesting that Biff songs are now leaking. You would think Biff would have these songs under lock and key. Especially after what happened to Elliot Kennedy.

A new DVD of Spice World? They can't even bother to release a quality version of the movie on blu-ray or 4K. Ridiculous!

After 2022, it feels like the girls are officially over. Lackluster 25th anniversary releases. No anniversary celebration of the movie. No 25th anniversary tour.

It's baffling why some of the girls would veto Likely Stories off of Spice 25. It's the perfect type of song that would be released on an anniversary edition of an album. I like the track. It's nice to have a new group song

A Christmas album is such a no brainer for the group to do. Record ten Christmas covers, tack on Sleigh Ride and Christmas Wrapping. Along with Christmas mixes of 2 Become 1, Too Much and Goodbye. They would have a great 15 track Christmas album.

I think the cracks are starting to show. Much of the fan base is fed up with being fed crumbs for the past 22 years.

So where's the blu-ray/4K release for Spice World? Embarrassing there is no pre-order for it. Unless they are not going to do anything for its anniversary.

It's interesting in one of their last interviews as a 5 piece they mention the 3rd album will have "solo" songs and duets. This is the blue print for a S Club 7 album. S Club 7 don't have very many songs where more than two members get solo parts. I've always thought that was a weird coincidence since S Club 7 was created by Simon Fuller.

If the girls don't perform at Glastonbury in 2023, then maybe 2024? It is pretty ridiculous the girls have only done 60 tour dates in the last 22 years. The girls simply cannot get their act together even when it comes to touring.

Hopefully we get Go Go Go since it's Biff's favorite. He says so in the comments of that Instagram post with the Forever songs.

There are quite a few outtakes from Spice and they only released Feed Your Love. Likely Stories Serial Killer Pleasin' Me Overnight (1995 Version) Seven Days Image And Likeness Strong Enough At most I only see us getting Woman and one other unreleased track on Forever 25. The girls just don't want to release outtakes.

You can try and justify SW 25 underperforming all you want. The vast majority of fans had issues with it, hence why it didn't do very well.

A track by track commentary from the girls? I don't see anything.

There's still a huge stigma around the group. Most still think they were a manufactured group that Simon Fuller created and branded. When the group is being mentioned, most are always quick to speak about their brand of girl power, their imagery and personalities. The music normally is the last thing mentioned. These latest anniversary editions didn't do anything to disprove that stigma. Where was the track by track commentary where they discussed their creative process?

Ok, let me use some legacy bands as an example then. U2 did 60 shows on their 2018 word tour. Bon Jovi did 95 shows over the course of their 2 year world tour in 2017-2019. Metallica did 159 shows over the course of their 3 year world tour in 2016-2019. I used Madonna and Kylie as examples because they appeal to the same fan base as the Spice Girls. Also, it's much different for a woman to be away from her family than it is for a man.

The girls can't even commit to a proper world tour. Madonna did 75 shows over the course of 6 months on her last tour. Kylie Minogue did 33 shows on her Golden tour in late 2018/early 2019.
