Neutral summary
The Spice Girls have announced a 30th-anniversary box set of their debut album, featuring previously unheard demos and 14 CDs, but fans who hoped for a tour after a cryptic Instagram post are disappointed. The teaser, which called for fans who can “sing and dance,” fueled reunion rumors, but turned out to be a re-release. One fan wrote, “This meeting could have been an email.” The set, priced at £277, includes 13 remixes of “Wannabe” on one CD.
