Yeah I think at the end of the day, the team who handles the girls at Universal did not care for our girls. When SW19 was happening, they just dropped a picture disc vinyl and that’s it. They didn’t even capitalize on it. With Spice25, The logo and the scanned pictures were not up to standard, but at least it seemed the tracklist itself was agreed by the girls themselves (even we don’t like it we can respect it). This time around, they dropped the ball on everything, the tracklist, the art from fans’ scanned work (not getting or paying directly the original photographers’ work) and the ripped live tracks from YouTube quality. They would have definitely sold more if they released the vinyl in five individual covers again because at the end of the day that’s what collectors collect.

Anyway so happy to seem at least four of them together again. Makes me happy like a little boy all over again.

Do we think they made a pact to never appear as five until they actually do (for an announcement)? So weird, we keep missing one or two in these big events. I mean obviously not everyone can attend but they really never sync up all five, do they?

I thought they were listening to some fans suggestion this time but clearly they just used them and did the bare minimum. Really they ought to fire the team who oversaw Spiceworld25. It didn’t even get same care or treatment like Spice25. How could they drop the ball like this?

Just incredibly stupid and a missed opportunity per usual with them. It pissed me off that they didn’t continue the tradition of individual vinyl covers. Guess the Spice25 has plenty left in store so they decided not to do it.

She won’t ban the questions because they bring interest to her brand

They could have dropped the album by November 1999 and I think they would have still achieved some success.

Interesting. Goodbye was released as an EP in Southeast Asia (they combined both CD track lists into one CD).

I mean is she even joining Glastonbury at this point? At this point, I prefer her not to participate since she’s not even gonna tour anyway.

Victoria should have gotten one (especially during Let your head go era - that’s a classic gay campy song!)

Well, it’s not really a waste of money when they have the merch ready to be sold once the video drops (see SUYL and Step to me)

I’m guessing the lyric video for Move Over is next? Since that’s they plan to drop the live version one as well.

Maybe they gave the production issue but actually reworking the 2CD set? One can hope! Actually, since they are being delayed, why not drop the individual vinyl covers around the new release date too? Surely, that will help with the chart lol.

That video makes me so happy! Now rework the tracklist and we’ll be good!

Basically by that time I remember they kept harboring the line that they got nothing else to prove anymore so they were gonna do it their way. Showed that they still had to prove that they could do it three years later but they just couldn’t be arsed about it and too solo focused by then. It flopped spectacularly, which was a damn shame. Forever deserved better.

I think back then, without social media, it was hard for pop bands to keep interest while they are away. I mean they tried to do that with just the UK (Christmas tours in 1999) but they still couldn’t keep them when Forevef was released. A lot have happened while they were away, Britney and Christina popped up and they probably got some of the girls’ fanbase who were growing up real time by then. Plus, the boy bands were taking over again ( Backstreet Boys and *Nsync). Plus, little to no promotion, they kinda set themselves up to fail by then.

As far as comeback single goes, it was anticlimactic. No one was expecting a ballad. Plus, the message of the song isn’t even universal so they already eliminated casual single buyers.

I would say Forever because it signaled the ending of the band. Also, it entered at number 39 on Billboard charts was also shocking. From Number One and Number Three albums to barely making Top 40. Also, the Headlines flop was a bit iconic because up until that point, Children in Need single tended to guarantee Top 10 right? So they kinda flopped spectacularly.

To be fair, Who do you think you are (demo) sounds 95% finished

They will probably announce the week that SW25 is released

Come on Posh, join the full tour for the International fans

Can he be hired to oversee all their socials and archives from now on please?

I predicted 15th and 2500-3000 copies (perhaps maybe it should be 3500-4000 copies for that position actually). There’s no urgency in getting this time around unlike the first round. Plus, the individual vinyls not being available this time so people won’t buy five copies of it this time.

256 years later and still no WOMAN…

Since they skipped the individual vinyls this time, I’ll them to do five individual covers for Blu-ray Discs then.
