Oh damn, this is kinda disappointing, was really hoping for at least something we hadn't heard! As someone who has the singles box set and the original album I won't bother purchasing this.
Girls Aloud
- Thread starter marknyc
- Start date
I will buy it because I have everything Girls Aloud, now obviously sad there doesn't seem to be a vinyl?
I mean, definitely will be a physical cd, as it mentions discs 1 to 3. Otherwise the tracklist would probably be all together.
He/Him
I don’t necessarily trust Universal and releasing CD physicals just because of a layout choice online or a certain way metadata was filled out. For example: https://www.qobuz.com/gb-en/album/lights-10-ellie-goulding/ht0az2axi909a and https://www.qobuz.com/gb-en/album/halcyon-nights-ellie-goulding/bvfr7qhq6mz5a neither of these had CDs.
he/him
It's giving Spice/Spiceworld 25 but done right - so already imagining pre-orders for a 3CD deluxe book, zoetrope vinyl, picture disc and pink and green double vinyl tomorrow.
Of course we'll always hope to see some truly new/unreleased things with releases like this, but there's no glaring omissions and I guess for the majority of listeners who either stream their music, or haven't been busy collecting all the various releases needed to have these tracks already, it'll all be new anyway.
I hope the other albums follow and are just as comprehensive as this with some surprises (manifesting Wicked Game).

Keeping my fingers crossed for this, with some luck they'll have roped in Chris Fox.
Happy with the alternative vocals version being made available on streaming tonight!!
Other than that, I want to be excited about this re-issue but I just can’t right now. I don’t know if it’s because I discovered GA with the 2nd album, because of the lack of never-heard-before content, or simply because I have a bad week. Or maybe it’s just me realising all I want is to see the girls perform on a stage and it will probably never happen again. Maybe the press announcement will get me a little bit more excited/in the mood.

The lower reaches of the Top 40 found shaking.

Was it ever confirmed they recorded Hear'Says unreleased If You Wanna Roll With Me? As that should have been this era. (Possible single 2 I believe)
He/Him/His
I like the idea of complete album sets followed by a rarities/unreleased compilation down the road. Realistically, actual new material will take more archive-digging and further finessing from Brian. I really doubt it's as simple as these BMI/ASCAP-registered songs being readily available for them.
I think, compared to a lot of acts, there might not be a wealth of unreleased songs because of the way Brian worked - there might be a ton of parts of songs, verses, choruses, odds and ends, but very little finished songs. I can’t see it being appropriate to assemble bits of songs together into new ones either, though I could maybe see more alternate versions like the Long Hot Summer and Wake Me Up rarities boxset ones.
Maybe I’m wrong though - We Wanna Party was a Neighbours outtake and I don’t think we knew about it at all until the Out Of Control era, so there could still be some surprises in the vault.

This will 100% be a yes. I wish we knew which ones. I think Ideas circle for years aswel so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s still stuff that could get released that they once recorded.
