According to the new trailer, it looks nothing like Like A Prayer.

Really? I've read this from Madonna Updates on Telegram but I didn't see this trailer nor a mention of it being so different, so idk

Maybe there's a rock cover of it? Idk. What an ugly trailer tho 

[Diieeego 260]

From what I understand this is a live compilation album. If it includes like a prayer it would be a live version already performed by her 

[Brendanlovesu1 11,878]

she did cover LAP along with music and express yourself as part of a Madonna medley at a concert last year

If that's the case, great. She did a pretty gutsy version of it and Express Yourself. She's got a powerful delivery...

Mmm interesting! But I guess it's just a regular reissue/reprint, right? Surely it can't be the proper reissue or remastered thing cause it's in 10 days and nothing has been officially announced yet.

That hideously overpriced vinyl is not part of the reissue program.

The first reissue will be announced with a big fanfare a couple of months before the release, and with links to her official store so we all can pre-order stuff there. T-shirts, pillows... You know.

[lucerto 808]

Probably another coloured vinyl i think

[musicinferno 3,660]

Not Warner releasing random overpriced vinyl before the official launch of the reissues to cash in as much as they can. 

[musicinferno 3,660]

Warner just announced this:

 

 

Purple Rain Tour with the COMPLETE live audio on 3 LPS, 2 CDs, and a newly remastered Blu-ray. All for $119.

 

If only they do something like this for all Madonna's reissues, I would gladly pay top dollar. 

[Gutten 206]

After watching and listing to the last one, I decided that time is way too precious to waste it on the next one.

The Prince estate has been releasing the most magnificent stuff lately, Madonna needs new manager I think. That being said, I am sick of nothing but Purple Rain releases.

Or she simply needs to butt out and let a team of talented people put all these together. I can't help but blame her for delays as she works so slowly.

Oh really? Oops

 

Welp.... Still a great template for them to use. 

[Prayer 14,278]

This new Prince release is been criticized by his fans cause it was already released on digital by Warner some years ago, the video version too, so it's nothing new... just "remastered" and with nice packaging.

Fans expected another expanded Deluxe edition of an album with unreleased stuff, etc... but they're getting the same old material aimed to grab some general public money too.

So every fandom has their own battles.

Also, seems like Emily is doing upscales for Prince material now too:

 I'm happy for her!

As a Prince fan I am getting fucking tired of these endless Purple Rain releases, does the estate realize he has tons of other amazing albums.

Me too - I was hoping for anything but another purple rain release seeing as he has about half a dozen other tours yet to receive a release ? What with M flogging her dead horse of frozen remixes still and no other news I’ve given up with Prince and Madonna and Warner’s can suck my wallet ?

[Roland Barthes 5,823]

Prince Estate made a huge mistake going to Sony. The 2022 pressing of his albums are overpriced, xeroxed sleeves and no remaster. Thankfully Warner will still be able to release Parade as it's a soundtrack but the vault material will probably be not as rich as on the superb 1999 & SOTT deluxe versions released by Warner. I wonder if Troy Carter is still in charge of curating the Vault now that Warner lost the rights to the catalogue.

[50ft Queenie 2,787]

Why the hell is the estate neglecting Prince's early period so much? We need reissues and remastered concerts from 1977 to 1982. That covers the albums For You, Prince Self Titled, Dirty Mind and Controversy.

Exactly.  The one reissue I have been longing for. They keep skipping over it.  There was talk of it coming this year but who knows. I have an original pressing of the record but I want something deluxe lol
