Spice Girls: The Singles Collection review – stop fleecing your fans right now, thank you very much

(Virgin) The reunion that fans were hoping for turns out to be a cash-grab box set – though there is a worthwhile curio featuring Posh on lead vocals Is there a more taunted fanbase than that of the Spice Girls?
