ABBA - Ring Ring (50th Anniversary) - 7″ boxset includes 5 singles from the album, each with a b-side companion track. The set features 5 colour discs (transparent red, transparent yellow, white, blue, red) housed in a lift-off lid box. Individual sleeves incorporate classic band imagery from the original era.

Agnetha looks like Greta Thunberg 🤣

Looks nice but no more vinyl box sets please - I want digital releases please 🥹🥹🥹

Why not have both? I have zero interest in digital releases. I want something physical that I can hold in my hands, and play on my stereo.

You prefer digital releases. Good for you. I have absolutely nothing against that.

We'll all agree that box sets should be available in all currently existing formats.

I for example despise antique vinyls. American Life Mixshow as vinyl exclusive got on my nerves and I won't forgive them.

I grew up with vinyl and love them. I listen to music on vinyl, not every day, but every week. I can't wait to buy the remasters on vinyl.

Regarding the RSD special. I'm sure some kind soul will upload the new edits to the forum.

That's not the point. I'd love to have physical music on my shelf. What would I do with a vinyl? Fan myslef in heat days, meh.

Yes, the tracks from all those RSD end up online whether it's official or not.  Like you, I prefer to have a physical copy of all her things.  Digital/streaming is convenient, but I can do both and enjoy.  I just don't need to get upset if every single edit or remix (especially promos) aren't uploaded to her digital and streaming platforms.

Why don’t you get a record player like everyone else and enjoy her exclusive vinyl releases.

Because vinyl is expensive and its sound quality deteriorates with use. No thank you.

I've got records dating back to 60s and 70s, original pressings, that sound absolutely pristine and blow anything on streaming out of the water sound wise. But you do you babes

So true !

of course I use Spotify every day but listening to original pressing vinyl is much much better experience. Sound is warmth. And it's just beautiful. The sleeve, the mechanic, the sound coming from a groove. Get into the the vinyl groove.

All of my vinyl is mint and unopened.  Maybe I need to craxk it open.  Haha

I wasn’t dissing people here that love vinyl - all power to you - I’ve just found it very tedious with this campaign that all the releases have been vinyl one-offs which to me is the least durable format - one 3CD of FEL ( a lot of which was poorly mastered ) 

I just hope warners follows the same format like the Prince releases - CD box sets and separate vinyl box sets to cater for all of us - I could care less about streaming unless they want to dump unreleased demos or digital versions of vinyl rips we don’t have on cd

Same here.  I have vinyls from 70's and 80s that sound fantastic still.  I play them all the time.   And the newer 180 gram Vinyls sound so great.

I have some unplayed vinyl too, but have started to realize that I'm not immortal, so I've started to listen to them.

I have no plans to sell them so what's the point of just having them.

One evening I'll take a deep breath and listen to FEL, the vinyl box!

I suppose it all comes down to individual expectations. I genuinely have none. I never thought we'd even see murmurs of reissues while M is still alive so every drop is a lovely surprise to me, whether it's another streaming EP or vinyl.

Why are you surprised with reissues during Madonna's liftetime? Many artist have dropped remastered reissues like Enya, Chris Rea for example, both of them are pretty much alive.

Because Madonna has always been different in that respect - completely uninterested in capitalising on her back catalogue, almost pathologically averse to the notion of becoming a "legacy artist", always looking forward.

I think because of the Luke warm reception she received from the interscope albums - she realised that the general public isn’t interested in her new music - that’s why she made this deal with warners to preserve and rejuvenate her back catalogue. It’s just taking a while to get going imo and it doesn’t seem very consistent to me so far 🥹😢 which as a lifelong fan has been very frustrating

More than not, I think Warner has always been good for her career, so it makes sense to get all her music under one roof.  I get the "frustration" because I think most of us are looking forward the deluxe re-issues of her albums.  With nothing being said about that, it seems like it's all been forgotten.  Also, I said this before, but I believe the reason they brought up the campaign two years ago is because Warners was distributing the Madame X Tour film.  So no doubt, fans would have been questioning why she was back with them if they just said nothing.  Makes sense they would announce the deal they made.  Meanwhile we are seeing her catalog getting added the digital/streaming platforms.  We also got physical re-issues of Who's That Girl, Erotica and Everybody.  FEL was the first biggest new curated project which I'm sure was an option presented to Madonna so Warner could someone get another GH's out of her. 

We just need to be a little more patient, and I rather the album re-issues not be rushed.  If there is going to be a huge box set for certain landmark albums, then I'm sure that will be a daunting task.  Manufacturing the physical copies are definitely going to take time.  And again, I understand why some are frustrated being we've had the Erotica and ROL anniversaries come and go, which could have been a great chance to release deluxe version of those albums. I can only suspect is they prefer to start with the debut album which will celebrate it's 40th in July.  Now if nothing happens by then, I can understand why fans start getting upset.  This whole campaign was about her 40th Anniversary in the business, so it would be quite disappointing that first album isn't getting re-released.
