I'm sure she really doesn''t give two hoots about it.  Things like this is more something the record companies prefer to make money off of, but obviously Madonna has a lot of say in what is released.  She obviously isn't interested in having a zillion different compilations or different versions of her studio albums, yet have a couple significant ones that may stand out as Immaculate Collection and Something To Remember has.  She obviously was happy to release those, but put some added touches to it, to not make it your typical Greatest Hits. I would suspect as she is nearing the end of her career, she may decide to rethink such, and start re-issuing and releasing more collections.

Someone on Pop Justice pointed out a few days ago that maybe reconnecting with Stuart Price last year and now with the tour after all those years apart may have changed any future plans for the reissues? Could be, maybe she started working on some remasters with Mike Dean (he did "Finally Enough Love") but now Stuart is in charge? They've used countless stems for the tour with different parts, vocals, etc. so obviously they have all the material.

We'll see.

Or we won't!

I would love a Hits collection featuring reworks by Stuart similar to Shep’s mixes on TIC.

Anything Stuart involved I am on board.  Though I am sure it's just pure speculation.  It's possible that a re-issue could happen with Like A Virgin next year being that is the album the catapulted her to stardom.  But like you said, "we'll see!"

There's a solution to this. Box 80s, Box 90s, Box 00s and Box 10s. 

Oh, that's stupid solution. We know which one wouldn't sell much. 

I guess, but if it's made-to-order pre-sale-style, then it'd work. Online-only -- we'd all get what we want. 

Metallica does this all the time. They produce their own limited edition web-fan-club only releases .. it's easy.

Also, if there's concern for the last decade to sell, then you balance that box out with some super special "singles" like Santa Baby, Impressive Instant, Buenos Aires, Nobody Knows Me .. God Control .. with a few bonus remixes not found anywhere.

The last decade may not be a selling point, but if it's bundled together with something special, fans will definitely buy it.  I wouldn't expect the majority of the public would be interested in spending too much on purchasing her back catalog to such extent.  This type of thing would be more aimed at the fans.

[Honey Little 4,073]

I honestly could see her working in reverse order with the reissues and starting with Madame X and ending with her first one. - People laugh but it’s more her way of thinking than chronologically or via anniversaries.

I could actually see this happening, especially since he supposedly remastered her discography years ago. 

 

Imagine a re-worked version of one of her albums that stays true to the originals a la The Immaculate Collection. I'm here for debut (Madonna's Version) 

[WokeUpInMedellin 1,617]

Even cooler would be a box set including both the original album, and an entirely remixed version of the album done by Stuart.

Yea, I posted that a couple days ago.

It would be too good so it won’t happen.

At this point and after waiting nearly 2 and a half years - I would take any album expanded just so we can finally know the template they will be using - will it be like the Prince reissues - vinyl and cd box sets with video content ?

Probably just like the 2001 remasters we got of the first 3 albums.

Remastered by Mike Dean with 2-3 bonus remixes all in digipacks.

In the meantime they could easily expand the first two albums on streaming like this:

Madonna - Deluxe Edition

01. Lucky Star

02. Borderline

03. Burning Up

04. I Know It

05. Holiday

06. Think Of Me

07. Physical Attraction

08. Everybody

09. Everybody – Dub Version

10. Burning Up – 12” Version

11. Borderline – New Mix

12. Lucky Star – New Mix

Like A Virgin - Deluxe Edition

01. Material Girl

02. Angel

03. Like A Virgin

04. Over And Over

05. Love Don’t Live Here Anymore

06. Dress You Up

07. Shoo-Be-Doo

08. Pretender

09. Stay

10. Into The Groove - Non-LP Track

11. Like A Virgin – Extended Dance Mix

12. Material Girl – Extended Dance Mix

13. Angel - Extended Dance Mix

14. Dress You Up – 12” Formal Mix

 

They have all the parts, it'd make for something simple and nice for those first eras. It'd be the first time for the Everybody dub and Angel extended on streaming too.

Ya because the original releases sold sooooo well 😜🤪🙄

It has nothing to do with how well they sold originally.  Certainly more interest would come from her most popular singles, but it doesn't mean they can't package a singles retrospective that includes her singles from the last three albums.

Anyway, it ain't even happening, so it's a moot point!  And if nothing comes of a expanded re-issue for LAV this coming year, then I'm more inclined to think no re-issues are coming or they are waiting for all albums to be under Warner by 2025.

We don't need another "True blue 35th anniversary"-type thing. The missing remixes should be uploaded on their own in a digital maxi-single. That awful release is the reasons we still didn't get (and probably won't get) Papa don't preach, True blue, Live to tell and Open your heart uploaded with their original covers.

An expanded re-release should include NEW tracks or nothing.

[Fabiolous 5,505]

Something like this would be better

Madonna - Deluxe Edition

01. Lucky Star

04. I Know It

05. Holiday

07. Physical Attraction

08. Everybody

09. Burning Up (demo)

10. Everybody (demo)

11. Ain't No Big Deal (Outtake)

12. Crimes of passion (outtake)

11. Laugh to keep from crying (outtake)

12. Drowning (outtake)

 

Like a virgin - expanded

01. Material Girl

02. Angel

03. Like A Virgin

04. Over And Over

05. Love Don’t Live Here Anymore

06. Dress You Up

07. Shoo-Be-Doo

08. Pretender

09. Stay

10. Into The Groove (from Desperately Seeking Susan)

11. Crazy for you (From Vision Quest)

12. Gambler (from Vision Quest)

13. Stay (demo)

14. Don't you know (Stay early version)

14. Angel (Stephen Bray demo)

15. Over and over (Stephen Bray demo)

16. Warning signs (outtake)

17. Desperately Seeking Susan (outtake)

I think it’s pretty clear no reissues are coming so it’s just better to let it go. Just enjoy the single uploads to streaming :(

They'll eventually come. There was no time stamp. Meanwhile, I've been satisfied with the curated projects such as FEL that we've recently gotten. I also love the vinyls released for MX Tour and American Life Mix Show.
