Single Reissues Campaign - Causing a Commotion - OUT NOW

[Roy 7,900]

Oh lawd... not the discourse on the digital vs. very good vinyl rip thing again... 

In this case, I need to drag @Aiwa08  with me on this.

 

Y'all remember when DYU on Spotify was the 12" Casual Mix?

There was absolutely no point to release these stupid True Blue and Like A Prayer releases, especially cause they were seemingly going for all singles on streaming anyway.

Haven't they done it to check interest in Madonna's back catalogue? It always seemed to me that way.

Am I the only one who is happy with the reissues of Madonna's singles on streaming? Because many of them are hard to find new and are out of print. This is the only time all of her singles have been re-released (excluding the Japanese box and the yellow CDs).

[Anapausis 6,598]

@Aiwa08 I am just amused of how @MPowered is faithful to his taste in everything. If he doesn't like something, he'll hate it for the remainer of his life. Sometimes I'd like to have this "I never look back" mentality, it'd be much more comfortable to me and my tired mind.

And, to answer your question, I am MORE THAN HAPPY to every single maxi being reissued on streamings. Just let the dogs bark and that's all!!!

Im very happy to have the singles on streaming. I just didn't realise they would repeat the exact release schedule from 40 yrs ago to finally get them all on

[Would You Like To Try 9,405]

I am grateful that they ended these 2 single eras with both singles out (Immaculate) and not these Japan EP's which include both 

Same for Vogue and Hanky panky 

[Would You Like To Try 9,405]

Well If her team can't comply with what we want (I am happy they are getting more singles out) then Local files will do the trick

to add insult to injury, they uploaded the same remix twice under the misprint name!

They wanna give us the original experience in the best way they can.

I agree. While not perfect, this has definitely been good overall as an accessible archive.

True Blue 

What are we expecting for the single 

I am expecting the remixes with the fade added but if it's not added I will scream

Nope.  I am enjoying it as well.  They're doing a pretty decent job in updating the streaming/digital catalog.  I also love how they are spreading it out because it helps keep her streaming active.  Eventually, they will have all the songs up and then we'll be left only waiting for new stuff which probably isn't gonna occur as much as it used to.  40+ years of a fantastic work from an Icon!!

[ChrisK 8,911]

I am loving the release to streaming - it has been like rediscovering the singles all over again!

The Like A Prayer one, yes. The one for True Blue came out after they had already started releasing those very comprehensive singles with rare promo versions. So yeah the True Blue one was VERY pointless and it’s essentially what has been keeping us from getting those singles earlier.

After Finally Enough Love we started getting patchy tracklists again.

When you put a local file in your playlist it will appear as normal and if you have other devices with the same file and it detects it it will appear the same on it 

@steady75did you know about this?

No! I‘m very happy they are being made available. I just think there is a lack of quality control and we all could have done a much better job than the person/people currently working on this campaign.

It's quite striking how they seemingly have a lack of source material, so they have to upscale low quality single artwork for example. But these are just complaints from a collector. It’s great to see them become available to the general public who won’t care about these details.

I personally just care about getting my hands on stuff that hasn’t been available from digital source previously. That’s what I‘m looking forward to the most!

I use iTunes match for that purpose but I don’t like doing that on Spotify. Way too messy and confusing for me personally.

[steady75 10,277]

Yeah I just wish Spotify would give you some free storage space to upload your local files so they’re accessible from any device rather than having to have it on each device. It’s 2024. I pay for Premium too.

This.

[Anapausis 6,598]

Now I realize!!! @MPowered you've been always a Hard Candy stan!!! When I talked to you first time here on forum, you were wearing a M-Boxingdolla avi too...

...and I have to agree to you, Heartbeat and Voices ALONE shit on every Erotten song!

You are wrong again haha.

The boxing theme just matches the username imo.

It’s also one of those eras that I think had potential that was never fully used and I just have A LOT of photoshoots from that era sitting in my MEGA drive. 👀

The album is alright. It’s better than MDNA & MX for sure.

It's also worth mentioning that the Spotify videos system should be out now in U.K and if you update your app it should appear, meaning that you will get the video edits for most songs 

[club78boy 14,630]

I am very happy to finally be getting some of these mixes and edits digitally! I would love to finish the 80's though with:

Everybody (Rusty Egan Mixes)

Burning Up (Jellybean Remix)

Dress You Up (Remix Edit)

Over and Over (Remix and Dub)

Causing A Commotion (Mixes and Dub)

 As WtP was on the Blond Ambition setlist,  Madonna obviously thought it was good enough to have been a single. 

 

As IGB was on the Girlie Show setlist, Madonna obviously thought it was good enough to have been a single.

I wish they’d done digital alternative versions of all the Warner albums. TB and LAP at least got us some remixes and extended versions (and Supernatural!) on streaming way sooner than the digital singles. We would have had the Dress You Up 12” mix, Ain’t No Big Deal, Let Down Your Guard (??) all much earlier 

Actually this is what the should have done:

- Remove the old remastered versions, especially those with the messed up/incorrect song versions

- Replace them all with the original album masters

- Start releasing the singles in 2019 instead of waiting A WHOLE FUCKING YEAR after LAP 30

We would have all of them by now. The “expanded” and “anniversary editions” along with Finally Enough Love are precisely what dragged out this whole campaign and made the single releases patchy and incomplete.

There is a whole release time line in the pinned post.

LAP 30 in 2019 was just a test, probably to check results her and her team and potential on streaming. It worked well.

She didn't fully go back to Warner until 2020, when the first digital single ("Human Nature") was released, and then announced officially in 2021.
