Actually the word 'a'. Can anyone confirm this? I guess it's not only on my copy. What a fucking mess... I've fixed White Heat too. It's available in the same post with Where's The Party and Love Makes The World Go Round fixed: https://madonna-infinity.net/forums/topic/29893-true-blue-35th-anniversary-edition-coming-to-streaming-on-friday/?do=findComment&comment=975039 Harrdust, Celebration, Kristian_Kasell and 3 others 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people claim that Warner transfer an "analog" copy of the album for the 192000 Hz/ 24 bit version instead the "digital" master. I really don't know. So in this case, the original CD could be a perfect copy of the original digital master. Exactly It even Says so on the FRONT COVER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still learning things about the pre-true blue era. Honey its fine, My memory is terrible. The first cd I had brought of it had it, but I haven't seen it on any other release since. The only reason I remembered was I had to rip it about 3 months ago and I saw it on the front cover. Its just not that bold or noticeable a first glance. Its very easy to miss. ???. Sometimes i hear voices in my head but I don't see things that are not there? I just blame my wasted youth!

amscity 565 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Useless release. Adulterated music, compressed to hell, pointless. The original CD release or the Hi Res version are still superior and will always be. Harrdust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, from the "True Blue" era, only "Open Your Heart (Remix)" is unavailable from a Digital source. The rest is available on CD (with different sound quality).

PanditaRulez 16,060 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I made comparisons between the True Blue Instrumental taken from the 35th anniversary edition and the original vinyl rip and this was the result, are we sure that we didn't get a "remastered" vinyl rip?

Yes, we are sure it's not a vinyl rip. It's too clean at the end. It's definitely from a tape source. Spectral analysis wouldn't tell us whether it's vinyl or not, only if it's lossy or not.

The original CD release or the Hi Res version are still superior and will always be. All this prompted me to finally buy the hi-rez release last night, and it sounds great! Better dynamic range than the first-press CD, actually. No clipping of the dynamic range at all, not the slightest bit compressed. (And no truncated song openings.) According to Dynamic Range Database, the same is true for her other hi-rez releases. It seems to be cheaper on 7Digital than the other sites right now. (Only thing I noticed is that the spoken intro to "White Heat" is not quite as bright as it is on the original CD, not that it's particularly bright there. Not sure of the reason for that.)

I'm still learning things about the pre-true blue era. It's barely visible. The writing is so thin and light. I've got to dig my old German "Like a Virgin" CD case out of the garage, because I was just sure it says it's a only a 12-bit recording in the booklet, but I could have read it somewhere else. At some point I put all my Madonna CDs in one of those CD binder albums and put all the cases in a box in the garage, to save space.

Yes, my private inbox is disable. Many problems in the past (fortunately not in this forum). I'll upload the 35th annyversary (japanese tracks, without loudness war). But only for 60 minutes because is a commercial release. So "Stay tunned" the next 30 minutes. Craigypants and norisk_noglory 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiwa08 16,190 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Ok, only for 60 minutes for the members of this forum, the 35th anniversary using the japanese CDs without "Loudness War". Please, be quickly. EDIT: I'm sorry, although my 35th version is not the one available to buy, the songs are still the same. So I must remove my version. I don't care if the people who have downloaded my version, upload it again. Don't Worry. I hope you're like my version. Special thanks to @Craigypants and @amscity for their help with the original japanese CD of True Blue. subversive, Craigypants, Maddyone and 6 others 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
