I can see what they tried to do with the 2LP and cassette - splitting Side C and Side D into "live" and "remixes" will make for better listening - but it's annoying for those that collect these formats since neither of them offer the complete release.

Couple of things, in the early 00s there was an industry DJ/remixers site and Morales remix for 'Never Give Up On the Good Times' was listed that's where I remember first reading about it. Also it makes sense he would've done it as he had remixed all of their up-tempo singles from 1997 onward and as we know 'Never Give Up...' was intended to be part of a double A-Side.

Maybe he was pencilled in but it never got finished once the plans were canceled (which I assume would’ve been around the time Geri left?).

I don’t know, the US didn’t get “Viva Forever”. Haha

He likely remixed the potential singles choices early on. The 98 tour version apparently incorporates it and listening to it live it does sound like the intro and outro are parts of what could've been a remix.

Ohhh… no wonder y’all want this mythological remix. Sounds like it would’ve been a right STOMPER!

The way they didn’t even put this live version onto the 25th Anniversary edition either ddd

Why did they perform it though. The single wasn’t out til October. Also performing it at their Christmas tour.

I was once told the Brits performance of Holler was more aimed at industry bods to give a flavour of their new sound, but who knows?

I wonder if this was birthed from the possible remix? There are definitely parts which sound like NGUOTGT in the preview anyway.

Imagine if they did contact him and he found it but was then like “nah, doesn’t exist” and then just stripped off the “…On The Good Times” part and made a new song.

Probably looking too much into it but the vocal version with “never give up” is pretty much that part of the Spice Girls song.

Is it just the clunky choreography/their exhaustion or is this performance really... flat? Mel C and Victoria are the only ones seemingly into it.

Like the Spice anniversary edition I’m not feeling SpiceWorld25 either. Most of you have covered this, but again it just seems like “will this do?” with little to no effort. Watching Emma on The One Show gush about “loads of new stuff” on the reissue…. Who is she kidding.

Don’t get me wrong the first 2 albums and the whole phenomenon of Spice Girls was an incredible time. I also enjoyed the last tour (well except the shit sound system in the Spice Circle)…. But I just want more as a fan. Even if it was new remixes… or even better effort to record new music or properly search the archives for material we all know exists.

Sorry - rant over. I’m just a little disappointed once more.
