I got a bit of shit for saying I was happy for the people that were into FEL, but that I already had all of the material in some form or another. I understand certain edits have never been commercially/digitally released but it's not enough for me personally to purchase it. It's like catering to the crowd who needs all 150 versions of the same magazine cover from around the world. I've never been one of those collectors. There's gotta be something I haven't heard before for me to get hyped.

That's exactly my point. Just when we feel the thing is leading into certain ALLUDED direction, here we go again, "2022 remasters". FEL didn't include totally unreleased mixes, for example, and there are many... a good thing could have been using some Tour studio mixes, there are tons with commercial release potential as stand-alone mixes (Get Together from Confessions Tour, Die Another Day + Give it 2 Me from the Sticky & Sweet Tour, to name a few...)

This time it's not only the team. SHE signed the deal, SHE personally curated FEL. She doesn't want some special kind of material to be out. Now that's clear, this was the crucial occasion to intrigue the fans and give a glimpse to what comes next. So no, I'm not going on buying rehashed material. If I want, I listen to original releases and I turn the volume up. Money doesn't grow up in a field and I want to buy something that gives me pleasure, not for the sake to put it on a shelf. It's a music matter, we are not collecting ceramics anymore.

He may not be Basquiat, anyway @Brendonshayart 's work was selected by Madonna and is now exposed in every store and shop! If he wasn't able to do "anything good" as you said, that would have not happened. Respect for freedom of creativity!

you may be right, but we are talking of a special unique event. 40° anniversary is something that will never repeat. Fans are abit irritated, this we can understand. We know what other important artists do for their fans community. These releases clearly say: "you will never get the kind of stuff you desire".

Imagine the money they would make if they put out a reissue with Warning Signs. They could charge like $200 for one LP and all the records would sell

"For the first time, Madonna will personally curate expansive deluxe editions for many of her landmark albums, as well as introduce unique releases for special events, and much more. The series of releases will be overseen by Warner Music’s catalog team, led by Kevin Gore, President of Global Catalog,
Guy Oseary said: “Over the past 30 years, I’ve been fortunate enough to meet and spend time with many of Madonna’s incredible fans, and this new partnership will bring to fruition what so many of them have been patiently waiting for: a celebration of her groundbreaking catalogue. My partner Sara Zambreno and I are working closely with Warner Music Group to bring new life to these iconic works.”
The words UNRELEASED and DEMOS are not there, and I start thinking - on purpose.

Sure, so there was no point of doing a MEGA press release intentionally allusive ("surprises", "special editions", "expanded", "Madonna personally curating...").

Are they planning the RECYCLE & REHASH game? If this is the level of the album reissues, we can expect as bonus 2022 remastered already released remixes and edits on 10 vinyl colour variants and that's it. I wonder what they are hoping to obtain this way.
Now, the Erotica pdk has a "myht" value ; FEL has a concept (even if could offer many more gems ); this has really NO SENSE.

I'm undecided to cancel even my Erotica pdk order :(

Can fans stop buying this crap so we get actual shit
