It was the 'heaven help me' scene I think - they wanted to capture M falling

The swimming pool was at USC and that was filmed for the LAP video weeks before the Pepsi commercial - there was only one location and shoot for the Pepsi commercial (except the teaser filmed in Australia without M) - the deal did have plans for multiple commercials and a tour sponsorship - likely your friend got confused between the music video shoot and the commercial etc

Attending my first ever opening night of a tour in London - being there as the crowd went wild when M opened with NRM, catching up with so many fans from all over the world, chatting to Guy and everything M did on stage - I was so close every night and it was such a relief seeing her so well and happy

What an incredible final show!

@TheGothHi - unfortunately you're incorrect - I have a Warner Music Australia press release referring the Like A Prayer video shoot and the pool that I was given by Warner circa February 1989

There are no unreleased videos - alternate versions / early edits of released videos would or do exist RE: Holiday, the decision was made to record a video for Burning Up instead (6 months after it's release) as MTV was mainly promoting rock videos at the time. M confirms no video for Holiday in her April 1984 Australian interview with Molly Meldrum in an outtake. https://www.facebook.com/MadonnaAustralia/videos/1916011088528089

He means he ordered it. it is expected to ship in 3 weeks

The USA store has never sent posters folded - bigger items like the 2014-2015 calendar posters or the RHT live pass access poster all come rolled in a wider tube and arrived in mint condition - you can also take confidence if an item arrives damaged they replace it - they keep extra stock aside to accommodate any shipping issues - also I highly doubt the UK store would send lithographs or posters folded

As of right now The Girlie Show Blond Ambition Tour Confessions Tour Celebration Tour Rebel Heart Tour MDNA Tour Who's That Girl World Tour The Virgin Tour Reinvention Tour Drowned World Tour Sticky And Sweet Tour Madame X Tour

It will come rolled just like all the other lithos larger than 12 x 12 they have shipped successfully for the last couple of decades - they are never rolled tightly etc

Oxana is one of the people allegedly scammed in this situation and has the support of M's team.

Oxana was one of 4-5 fans allegedly scammed for thousands by another fan who is from Australia - there is a court case coming here in Australia to resolve it - all the details are in this thread I think This is a post from Oxana recently

No another fan saw it happen and posted it in a forum, it's also on some fan accounts on insta - M is apparently aware of what he did to the other 4-5 fans based on her comment on stage and he's attending shows so she can't stop him but is obviously not impressed

Seems like M is onto it https://www.instagram.com/p/C5_53NvvI1P/

It changes all the time for me - overall I think the 90s stuff is my favourite of this show

I have a friend that sold most of his collection 10 years ago and bought just FEL 6 LP box set and Celebration reissue so far - he plans to buy the expanded editions in the future

Exactly - let this thread die

It's not on hold or nullified - the focus is the tour obviously. The tour delay may have resulted in the adjustment of the release schedule however we are still getting streaming releases, vinyls (True Blue / Celebration) and it's likely we will see more after the tour - you'll also notice merch has also been exclusively for the tour. That's the focus.

That was all Carrese's idea and she was pushing M for a box set and talking about it publicly - it's likely M did not approve it rather than it being cancelled - a M box set in 2003 would not have been a sales failure

Oh dear it's all going so badly according to the last few posts of this thread lol She is on tour - that is the priority and the release campaign is fine

It's a very long and mostly well written book - you'll have to make allowances for some inaccuracies but overall it's entertaining and I really appreciated the author providing context of what was happening in the world at the time which highlights M's amazing legacy while also giving an idea on why there was so much controversy at the time etc I listened to the audio book in the car over a few months

Agreed

Is there any context to this random comment directed at me? I don't know who you are or what you're carrying on about etc

To be fair, if you have no idea about what has been released in the last 3 years under the deal, you probably aren't that interested in what will be released lol
