Ooh never saw this! How comes they scrapped the whole sequence/outfits?

Does that question really require an answer…? ;)

Nice to see all the videos together

bryan89 · Sep 16, 2023

The fact they had a movie-less video already but they took the time to put together a new one with unseen footage makes me smile. They love GA and they love us.

Or they forgot its existence.

Was the 2-disc of The Sound Of actually out a week before the normal edition?
(Or is the 30 october one the one that replaced I Think We're Alone Now with its single mix?)

Music Week have a release date of the 30th Oct, I think that was it. They wouldn't have released the album over two weeks, they'd want to capitalise on first week sales.

Yeah unless it was that reissue with the right version of I Think.. on it, but I think that kinda happened unannounced instead of it being an actual reissue with a date?

Iggypig · Sep 17, 2023

Yeah, I would've thought maybe the week after the release of I Think We're Alone Now, which would've been, maybe 7-8 weeks after the original album.

Yeah that didn't happen till after the single release and wasn't announced.

Yeah I think that is a mistake, they both came out on the same day and it was the 30th for both not the 23rd if I remember correct.

I tried to scour through Youtube to find the adverts for the first GH album...and the oldest one I could find was Nov 18 2006

which doesn't really help as it just says "out now"

Well it was still a fun watch!
I could probably find something on the old forum..

Oh apparently this board was already active in late 2006.
Did get a good giggle out of the topic title 'Watch Out Girls Aloud: Here's Clea!" though

Edit:
yeah it definitely wasn't out on the 23rd

You can hear 30 sec previews of Money and I Think We're Alone Now here:

I quite like the brassy instrumental and jazzy vocals in Money. ITWAN is, well, catchy, with the echoy thing going on. Wouldn't surprise me if it became something of a hit, especially with a slightly older(I nearly said, "more mature", god help us!) audience.

TtT2 · Sep 17, 2023

Yeah I’m pretty certain it was the 30th (Friday before in Ireland) because it was very close to Halloween. I also remember HMV had this picture up as the cover on the website for a while

Yeah just came across a thread that had this cover + a fake tracklist
It would really be going head to head with Overloaded had they gone with that

found this on the old official site.

JMRGBY · Sep 18, 2023

The single mix wasn’t included on it until after the single had been released so that must be a mistake.

Mvnl · Sep 18, 2023

Yeah I assume on the site it's just the only listing on the album and they updated it to its final tracklist.

Iggypig · Sep 18, 2023

Whilst I was looking for the date info on Music Week, the pre release review mentioned 4 new tracks.....what was the fourth new track meant to be?

What a feeling?

Nah, that was replaced by I Think We’re Alone Now just two days before the album was due to go to print.

I was posting it for the release date and not the track listing.
