Celebrating the 25th anniversary of Spiceworld, the multi-million selling second album by the biggest girl band of all time - the Spice Girls have released a deluxe version of the album, which now comes with some live tracks, B sides, and a demo version of Step To Me, co-written by Sheffield musician and producer, Eliot Kennedy.

You would have to be a really big fan of the Spice Girls to warrant buying the album again for what is extra on the album, for apart from the live mixes, there is nothing much that has not been released previously.

After the huge success of their debut album, the girls released Spiceworld after the film of the same name which starred the group, shortly after they announced their debut tour. The songs on the album have aged well and sound as good as any pop song released today.

The four singles off the album are probably the ones which the casual observer might remember; Spice Up Your Life came with a Latin bossanova style, Too Much proved that the girls could come up with a dreamy ballad, Stop had a sixties influence whilst Viva Forever has become a Karaoke favourite.

Many of the dance community were probably unaware that they were dancing along to the Spice Girls when top remixers such as David Morales waved his magic wand over Spice Up Your Life making the song sound as if it had been recorded especially for the clubs.

Whatever your opinion is of the Spice Girls they definitely made the pop world a brighter place with their cheeky and confident attitude that brought Girl Power to the forefront with this new deluxe package emphasising what we really really want!
