dens54 reacted to Roland Barthes in Single Reissues Campaign - Angel - OUT NOW
It's messy to release a video after the single was released, as a late decision, with a non commercialy available mix.
Maybe our disagreement comes from having a different definition of what being messy is and it's fine, we don't need to agree and there's no need to be agressive either.

I'm not looking for anything. What's wrong with you guys ? I just said that it was a shame the release of edit one of Fever was messy as well as the whole campaign surrounding the releases of Rain and Fever and some of you are acting weird. Almost taking it personally. Aggresively even.
If there's an issue it's not mine.

Not on every releases. It was not available in the UK for instance. If they wanted it they had to biuy the european mainland pressing and since the Fever video was played on MTV US i bet her north and south american fans may have wanted that mix too.
I don't understand everybody's resistance, it seems logical to me.
Anyway it's ok now, 30 years later we finally have it for everybody to enjoy.
(still waiting for that EY video mix though ^^)

I'm talking about the Fever edit one.
But ok. I doubt she had The Immaculate Collection in mind when she released the Express Yourself video. And when the IC was originally realeased it was vhs and laserdiscs, the mix on the cd was not the video mix either which makes my point, wouldn't it have been easier for fans (and casual listeners/music buyers) to have these mixes availabale on the singles instead of having to look for them for years on obscure pressings or supports ?

Umm no it’s a stupid strategy. Why tease fans with something they can’t have?

It is messy to promote a mix that is not commercially available. Sorry. I won't back down. There is no logic in that.
And The Rain EP was the single they used to promote The Girlie Show in Australia & Japan.
As for Express Yourself it was not even released as a single in France, only the 12" had a pressing because they did not want to "kill" Like A Prayer (the single) so they passed on one of her signature song.

@Roland Barthesexplains the releases of Fever/Rain/Bye Bye Baby very well. In France, it was a big mess...
And the same with Express Yourself. Videos on TV and nothing in stores for EY... if it's not a mess, what is it? lol

Yep, Rain is the most streamed song on Erotica because the video (an edit of the album version) made it popular NOT the single version. That album/video mix was not available as a single because all single versions of Rain had the radio remix and if you liked Fever because of the video you could not even get that mix until it was released on mainland Europe on the cd singles of Rain or K7 single.
WHAT I MEAN IS Fever Edit One should have been released on the UK Fever single and the Rain video version or album version on the Uk cd single because those were the most popular versions since they were the ones being promoted via videos which were the only media promoting Madonna since radios were not touching these.

Yeah i mixed up with Rain because i bought the french K7 single for the Fever edit two
https://www.discogs.com/fr/release/1989696-Madonna-Rain
It was a messy strategy because the videos were released way ahead the different singles were available in every territory so when they were finally released they felt already "old". I was there, i remember very vividly that time, thank you very much
The Fever video was supposed to promote what ? That version was neither on the album nor on the Bad Girl / Fever or Fever UK maxis (something that already happened with Express Yourself) If that isn't messy...Their different strategies did nothing for the singles and albums anywhere. That strategy was so bad that when came the Girlie Show tour she had no single on the radio (Bye Bye Baby was an obscure 12"/cd single german release only available in Europe and not played on the radio either) or new video on MTV to promote it.
It got even worse with Bedtime Stories singles after Secret. Human Nature really took the cake.

I remember howmessy the whole release was though. The fact the Fever video mix was only available on european versions of Rain, the Rain video being released way ahead of the single (i guess they wanted to push the album), Fever being released in Europe mainland at the same time, UK had a different cover for Rain and the most popular track on that release was Open Your Heart as a b-side because british car maker Vauxhall had a commercial using it at the time. I remember being a teen and going each week to the Virgin Megastore on les Champs Elysées where they had all the imports because it felt like each week there was a new version of Rain or Fever being released with a different tracklist. I remember the french K7 single of Fever being released like in august or something with the rain cover. A mess. And i still think Why's It So Hard should have been released instead of Fever because Ace Of Base released "All That She Wants" at the same time, sharing that same reaggae-ish vibe mixed with dance music and it was a major success.
I wonder how Everlast ended up on that remix (and why not Big Daddy Kane ?)

dens54 reacted to Jackie in OFFICIAL: RSD Black Friday is just "Everybody" single reissue. Big Deal. But Mariah is doing a deluxe reissue of “Butterfly” with 8 bonus tracks. Now THATS a QUEEN! 🌈
Wow. Is it a full moon? Did we all take a bad trip? Why are we having such a melt down - it's a fucking RSD release - get over it. Don't like it, don't buy it. Want something else? Lobby Guy O.
I've said this before, and I will say it again, you can disagree with a decision for artwork, you can say you don't like it - but do not personally attack the person who created it.
If I witness this behavior - I will not hesitate to be more liberal with the ban function.
