Notes

Early Japanese issue of Spice with different artwork, featuring a blue ring as the front cover. Issued with an obi strip and a foldout sheet containing the group's biography and translated song lyrics in Japanese.

This is the last revision of the Japanese "blue ring" artwork, and features a question mark at the end of track 7's title ("Who Do You Think You Are?" / "フー・ドゥ・ユー・シンク・ユー・アー?") on the disc label, obi, the booklet and the foldout insert. Also, the club symbol (♣︎) has been moved to the end of the last line of the bottom text on the back insert.

Below is a chronology of the blue ring artwork issued in Japan, with the differences summarized:
- almost identical to the early promotional sample copies) = Track 3 title on back insert misprinted as "2 Become One 1" and Track 7 title has no question mark (i.e., "Who Do You Think You Are") on obi, front & back inserts, Japanese lyrics sheet and disc label
- Spice (first revision) = Track 3 title corrected in back insert to "2 Become 1" but Track 7 title still has no question mark on obi, front & back inserts, Japanese lyrics sheet and disc label; has two extra lines printed at the bottom of back insert
- Spice (second revision) = Question mark added to Track 7 title (i.e., "Who Do You Think You Are?") only on disc label, but still no question mark on other components (obi, front & back inserts, Japanese lyrics sheet); has two extra lines printed at the bottom of back insert
- This version (last revision) = Question mark appears in Track 7 title (i.e., "Who Do You Think You Are?") across all components (obi, front & back inserts, Japanese lyrics sheet and disc label); has only one extra line printed at the bottom of back insert

The release date that appears on this release (19.09.96) is not the actual release date of this pressing; it is the release date of the very first 'Blue Ring' artwork version (Spice Girls = Spice Girls - Spice).
