MADONNA AND WARNER MUSIC GROUP ANNOUNCE MILESTONE, CAREER-SPANNING PARTNERSHIP!!

Madonna is an artist. She is also a control freak. She is also very Frugal when it comes to money whether it be spending it or saving it. She hates looking back at past Music Projects. And her relationships / friendships with previous collaborators have either completely broken down or is strained in most cases. Take into the mix that Record companies want to make as much money and also to save as much money too. Those people working for the Record Companies involved at present, weren't around in Madonna's heyday. They may also be fairly uninterested in her music catalogue. And therefore have very poor insight into what is available and where to find it.

 

If you look at each Madonna album, there is a plethora of official mixes, which are still not available digitally or are promo only. Can the master tapes for these mixes be found? Look at past Greatest hit Compilations. Repeated use of Immaculate Collection Versions and newly created cut and paste versions used. Why not use the original masters. Maybe they are lost, stolen or can't be located. Maybe it's more cost effective to reuse readily available and DIY mixes.

 

Finally enough Love 50 number ones is the first taster of what is to come. A great compilation for fans and casual buyers. Everything on it is fairly familiar and easy to obtain, Keep it Together is the only new track. Is it a previously unreleased version or is it a Mike Dean (Madonna didn't like the original outro) re edit. It was probably the most cost-effective way to showcase Madonna's 50 dance number ones on a compilation.

 

If we were to go on this theory and the First Album was to be the next deluxe edition, then the track listing might look like this,

 

CD1

 

Lucky Star (Album version)

Borderline (Album Version)

Burning Up (Common Album Version / Video Version)

I Know It (Album Version)

Holiday (Album Version)

Think Of Me (Album Version)

Physical Attraction (Album Version)

Everybody (Album Version)

 

CD2

 

Lucky Star (US Extended Dance mix)

Borderline (Extended Dance Mix)

Burning Up (12” Version)

Everybody (US Dub Mix)

Borderline (Dub Version)

Everybody (Instrumental)

 

CD3

 

Lucky Star (Replica 7” Version / Edit)

Borderline (7” Version / Edit)

Burning Up (Dance Mix Edit)

Holiday (Edit)

Physical Attraction (Edit)

Everybody (Edit)

Ain't No Big Deal (Reggie Lucas Version)

DVD

 

With remastered videos and throw in a couple of early live performances if they can be brushed up but keep the costs down!

 

Notes

Lucky Star (7” Version / Edit) Have they lost the master tapes? It's never been used since the eighties all versions appearing on Compilations are not it.

Borderline (Remix Edit / It's That Girl Version) A version created specifically for that compilation and can no longer be located, only fans know of its existence)

Burning Up (Original Album Version) just like Lucky Star (Edit) or like Borderline (Remix Edit) only fans know of its existence, is Madonna really going to remember this version after all this time?)

Everybody (UK Remixes) Madonna still thinks they're Sh*t. And doesn't see the point in throwing any money Rusty Egan's way.

Ain't No Big Deal (Reggie Lucas Version) well we already have this version so let's remaster it and put it out again! The other versions are probably lost and have been forgotten about.

Demos made during the recording process. In Madonna's eyes she's an artist and these versions are unfinished and don't sound good enough to be released to the general public. Or they're out there on sharing platforms go there if you want to hear them but we're not going to waste money polishing them up.

Roll on Like A Virgin. Warning signs, Warner's don't even own it. Can the master be located or is it lost / stolen?  Needless to say it's never surfaced after all these years. Madonna probably hates it. Or would have to grovel to Steve Bray to get his permission to use it. And also have to pay him some money in the process.

And it goes on and on...........

 

Possibly that’s the worst scenario happening for the reissues... in that case I’ll dearly treasure the 3 2001 remasters we already have...

If that is what it is it will be nice to get all that on vinyl

What I’d love is a release of all the promo singles on double vinyl with gatefold covers and on color vinyl.

Erotica US Promo - gold vinyl 

Deeper Promo - clear/silver vinyl 

Fever UK Promo - Orange vinyl

Rain German Promo - Teal Vinyl

Bye Bye Baby German Promo - White vinyl

[PaperFaces 5,605]

I say: enough with the vinyl. Give me something I can freakin' downlload and listen to!

If Madonna put out a boxset like this everyone here would be angry and upset. 

[Gutten 206]

That deal she got with Warner sounded so great and promising!  That was more than a year ago and it seemed like they were going to celebrate her like she deserved!

But comes Octobre 2022, the 30th anniversary of the great Erotica album, and nothing has changed.  Same old trick with the extremely cheap Bad Girl video!  They used something like awful CGI on it to make it look like a cartoon!  OMG!!!

And the Bad Girl/Fever single with the same 1992 quality!  It couldn't have been worst.  I think doing nothing instead would have been better!

really ? i find the bad girl video upgrade to be great compared to what we have and the picture disc is great too 

i think the upgrade of bad girl is one of the better ones they have done recently

 

I really wish I agreed with you!

Are you watching on a phone?

I think it’s awful and that such a great video deserved better.

Exactly. I’m happy they are taking the time to upgrade her videos, but I’m not one to celebrate an upscale. “Bad Girl,” a video by David Fincher, deserves the utmost respect & treatment of them scanning in the film to create a proper HD version.

Im not fussy to be honest - it looks good on my tv , it must be very costly to a proper HD version and madonna certainly will not pay for it herself lol ..wonder how much it costs , im guessing it would involve the director etc etc ..lot of messing

its not just madonna that does cheap upscales too ..its a lot of rich artists like mariah and janet - the only upscale i was not fond of was justify my love because i liked the gritty old movie feel it had ..like a vintage porn film 

Yet Mariah is replacing her upscales with film transfers….

[Shoful 8,549]

I’m so pissed that had the audacity to say “More to come soon”. Why does everything seem so last minute. They can only announce stuff when they have everything ready to go. How is everything not already planned and has release dates. Give us a schedule of what’s to come why is EVERYTHING “expect surprises soon… more to come… soon” Do they really have nothing prepared more than a month out besides FEL

I think a announcement will be made soon on the first album reissue - i think its too soon after FEL to expect something like a announcement for the first album reissue 

i think it will possibly all come together like a tour announced , news about who is playing her in her movie , possible new album or new song 

#soon

I am not a fan, but this looks f*cking amazing!

Lets rather prepare for all the heartbreaks once Madonna announces her first reissue ... in 2038

[Blue Jean 15,093]

Yes the Robbie thing sounds good but it is Robbie Williams so that cancels itself out  

[wtg1987 10,150]

I think Madonna must be the only artist around now that STILL hasn’t released an album reissue with demos and remixes on it which considering her legacy is very disappointing….

Seriously! Even Taylor Swift who is pumping out completely new content is releasing “vault” songs from the past. Madonna fucking release SOMETHING from old sessions 

[nodoman 324]

it blows my mind how little everyone involved cares about her legacy and every milestone reached apart from some cute social media posts (before social media we got less than that).

i don’t know if they are waiting for the biopic to materialize or are thinking people are still recovering financially from the pandemic (which is true) as well as factoring in the current economic situation across the globe, therefore holding out, but MAN—show a little effort.

they don’t care about the 5 year mark nor about the 10 years one when they all got the money to provide us with at least SOMETHING to celebrate.
