Just dug out the German Us Against The World single (for the remixes, of course) and was surprised to see "S. Mumba" credited as a writer. As if I needed more reasons to stan Play/Bopmantha!

How are the remixes? I don’t think I’ve ever heard them

They’re standard 2002 commissioned club mixes. I’ll post them here soon.

The Thunderpuss remix of I Must Not Chase The Boys is still It™.

I have I Must Not Chase The Boys CD Promo! I use to listen to these girls all the time!!!
Also Amanda Lameche (Anaïs's sister)

I really like the track "Unspeakable" and was confused as to why it never made it on to the standard track listing. I'm so happy I have the Target edition from back in the day though.

Would you mind posting photos of it? I've never seen a copy anywhere and am glad to know it actually exists. Unspeakable is probably the best track on Replay, aside from the iconic I Must Not Chase The Boys.

Amazing. I've been after a copy for years. It really is such a tune!

I really like their version of Hard Knock Life.

I added the target edition of Replay to discogs a while back, so if you're looking for a copy, keep an eye on it.

I wish Faye’s solo music was still availble for purchase online.

I finally managed to get my hands on a copy of the highly sought after Target edition of Replay in mid-2019 after years of searching... however, I was super annoyed when I opened up the booklet & found that someone had doodled/written in it! Alas, doodling aside... at least I could listen to Unspeakable in decent quality at long last - it has always been one of my favourite songs of theirs!!

Ah, yikes about the booklet. At least you now also have Unspeakable in good quality!

I do still wonder if there is a variant of Us Against The World (the album) which has ‘Boys Lie’ on it. I remember awhile back someone on YouTube claimed to have a 12-track CD with that song on it... but I never got any response when I reached out to ask for photos/the catalogue number.

I’ve looked for a long time for this edition and I’m almost convinced it doesn’t exist.

I think that's fan fic. Speaking of, can anyone confirm this new addition to their Wikipedia?

In September 2020, a Warner Music Sweden executive announced in a podcast that plans are underway to reboot the group with 4 new girls and that former member Rosanna Munter, who currently works as an A&R agent for Warner, will take part in the selection process.

Some new Spotify uploads:

The "Axel" remix of UATW is actually the Bishop remix from the original single.

Was the full first album available for streaming in the US before?

Nope, just the Play EP. Not sure when these were added, but definitely in the last month.
