Everybody’s favorite best-selling Girl Power 90s female group, Spice Girls, recently re-released Spiceworld and The Greatest Hits on vinyl via UMe/Virgin EMI.
This would have been the perfect gift and perfect timing for your mother in Mother’s Days (UK)… but unfortunately, the outbreak of the Coronavirus/COVID-19 hit the country and basically put the world in self-isolation.
Fortunately, if you pre-ordered the vinyls or bought them on digital, you can still enjoy the Spice Girls’ wonderfully catchy, upbeat songs.
I got a chance to take a listen to a digital review copy, and it’s a little fun to re-visit these classic pop songs. The other thing I’ve gotten is that everyone in the group had a voice, from Scary to Sporty to Baby to Posh to Ginger. Everyone had their favorite Spice, mine was always Sporty (who eventually released some solo music under her name Melanie C).
It’s been many, many years since I listened to the Spice Girls, but I can tell, looking over the tracklisting that clearly the better value is The Greatest Hits, which contains their best-known hit (at least in the USA), “Wannabe”, and also the best of Spiceworld, including the singalong fun song, “Stop”. So if you’re a casual fan, The Greatest Hits is your best option.
If you’re more interested in the variety mix of music genre, then Spiceworld is a little more diverse. This includes a techno-ish ditty called “Never Give Up On The Good Times” and jazzy “The Lady Is A Vamp” and the doo-woppy “Too Much”. Plus, it does contain the well-known hits like “Spice Up Your Life” and “Too Much”.
