SURPRISE!! 🎉 To mark the 25th Anniversary of our debut album ‘Spice’ we are releasing a limited edition collection of vinyl and cassettes PLUS a 2CD deluxe featuring some previously unreleased tracks and demos. You can pre-order now 💕 #SPICE25 – https://t.co/0puSjzmONB pic.twitter.com/qJR70ClHyx

— Spice Girls (@spicegirls) September 1, 2021

Meanwhile, the standard album is being reissued on coloured vinyl with five variants available – one for each member of the group, along with corresponding cassettes. A Zoetrope picture disc is also available.

‘Spice – 25th Anniversary’, out October 26, is available to pre-order on CD, vinyl and cassette.

Of the anniversary celebrations, Emma Bunton says: “From the first wannabe baby steps to conquering the whole world with a team of Spices, thank you doesn’t seem enough to all of you who have supported us, followed in our footsteps, walked in our great big shoes and who have shared our dreams. 

“It’s been 25 years of pure magic. Spice Girls forever!!!”

“To our diehard and loyal fans; without you there is no us – sending endless love and gratitude. Whoever you are, whatever your dreams – live them, be them,” Geri adds. 

“The Spice Girls motto is testament to that.”

Melanie C goes on to reflect: “25 years, wow! I have so many wonderful memories of writing, recording, promoting and touring this album and so many people to thank. This is the record that set us off on our incredible journey. 

“A huge thank you to our fans and family all around the World. Thank you for always being there with your unrelenting support and making our dreams come true. My love and gratitude always.”

“All I ever wanted was to be accepted and to make everyone around me – gay, straight, brown, black, shy or loud like me – to feel they can celebrate who they are and to be free to be themselves,” beams Mel B.

“All I hope – 25 years on – is that message has been heard loud and clear. It’s true that in the end love IS all you need so I thank everyone who has ever bought a Spice Girls record or stood in the rain to greet us or got dressed up in pink, in a tracksuit, a ginger wig, a leopard print catsuit or put on Vic’s iconic pout!”

And Victoria says:  “We couldn’t let 25 years pass without thanking the fans for their incredible support. 

“There are so many people who have played a part in the success of the Spice Girls throughout the years, you know who you are and we thank you.”

And Emma admitted she’s keen to hit the studio and record some new tracks with the group, sharing: “I love writing with the girls, we have such a laugh in the studio.” 

Mel B also recently discussed the possibility of new music from the group, admitting: “We’ve been more about the lines of doing music together and hopefully getting the tour up and running because everything got shut down because of lockdown.

“My aim is for us to get back together and do some more songs together – and hopefully getting up on stage and entertaining everybody again.”
