Illegal auction of Spice Girls songs. The reaction didn’t prevent the leak – they’re everywhere now

Vinyl with never-before-released Spice Girls songs appeared on Ebay auction site. The songs were supposed to be included on their third album “Fever” from 2000, but were finally rejected when choosing the material. The auction was quickly canceled because the materials were illegal, but they had already leaked online.

The Spice Girls gramophone record included such songs as “Woman”, “Too hot” or “Go, go, go”. You can hear Victoria Beckham, Mel C, Mel B and Emma Bunton in them. However, the vocals of Geri Halliwell, who left the girl group in 1998, are missing. The auction was very popular, as there were as many as 80 offers to buy the record within two days. The highest bid was placed for 7.1 thousand. pounds (PLN 37,000), but later the auction was cancelled.

More Spicetek demo tracks have found their way online

The case was decided by the British tabloid “”, which managed to talk to an informant who was associated with the band. “It’s not clear how someone got this vinyl, but they shouldn’t be selling it. This material should never have been released to the public. And sharing these unfinished songs is unfair to the band because it’s against the will of the members.”

Despite the fact that the auction has been completed, someone managed to make the pieces available online. Anyone can now easily find and duplicate them. This isn’t the first time an unreleased Spice Girls track has leaked online. In December, a similar situation occurred with the track “CU Next Tuesday”, which was dropped from their first album “Spice”.

The Spice Girls band was founded in 1994 and initially the singers functioned under the name Touch. It was made up of five young talented singers: Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Victoria Adams and Emma Bunton. Just two years later, they signed a contract with the label and started working on their debut album. Halliwell left the band in 1998 to pursue a solo career. Thus, the team began to face more and more problems. In 2000, they released their last album and went on hiatus. After that, they tried to return to the stage together several times. The last time it happened was in 2018, but eventually they gave up on reactivating their careers.
