Manufacturing the physical copies are definitely going to take time.  

3-4 months ?

Come on... She's not on a little independent label... And even independent labels can have physical copies in 3-4 months... And I know what i talk about...

Exactly- and all M has to do is approve the artwork and content - unless she decides to get drunk with Mike dean and they ruin the “ curating “ by hitting the loudness bottom on the equaliser 🤪😢🥹

Definitely not on vinyl at this moment. Releases must be planned with months in advance, and even a year.

Many vinyl pressing plants were backed up by 7 months or more due to the pandemic, and I believe several stopped taking new orders altogether. I'm unsure of the current timescales

Exactly. Even some new artists couldn't release on vinyl because there wasn't enough time to book the plants. 

Even Metallica just bought their own factory because the demand for their records was so high.

Of course, she's not on an independent label, but if we are talking about curating a deluxe version of these albums, it's just not only about approving artwork and content.  That content whether it's demos or remixes or live performance takes time to put together.  Whether you are interested in Vinyl or not, that is the most popular physical format at the moment.  So as @Prayer ,@Brendanlovesu1and @musicinfernothat takes time (see below quotes).  Also, if any of the producers of the original projects are being commissioned to help update these albums, that could take time as well.  Remember she has many albums.  There is no way they can get those done in three or four months, nor are they planning to release these all at the same time.  With rumors of a possible release for this July, it's possible the first album has been worked on and is almost ready for a release.  This deal is a multi-year deal and it started when the Madame X Tour film was released by Warners.  And let's recall that took nearly two months after announcing this deal to show up on digital and streaming platforms alone.  "Scheduling" these things take time.

Doesn't Warner have a single original Madonna video? Why are we getting terrible upscales on her channel?

This was in 2022. It got better then.

But please, the time to make pressing is not an def not an excuse at all. They had time to plan and press their RSD releases such as AL, Everybody. Same for Erotica picture disc. Didn't had troubles at all.

Which were all planned many months in advance

I would love all the re-release deluxe versions but for me its new music I'm always super excited about.  I would take a new album over any deluxe version any day

Those were likely all pre-planned. Even FEL was being mixed in January and didn't come out till August.

Rock band Linkin Park are releasing a 20th anniversary edition of their second album Meteora next month. I hope we get something like this for M's reissues but I won't hold my breath

Yes! That's the kinda stuff I want. And it's got something for most fans. Super Deluxe Box, cd-only and vinyl only. Download for those whp perfer that. Perfect.

Madonna's would probably be a bit more expensive, but still.

I'm thinking it must be a concept at this time unless he isn't aware that he is not supposed to be sharing stuff like that on social media - time will tell

Well, he deleted it, so that seems to be quite telling.   I'll be curious when this will be released and how this all falls in line with the whole Warner deal (as this is a Warner/Rhino release). 

[Fabiolous 4,786]

So I'm guessing a Blu-ray is coming too?

I wish, but I suspect this is just a rare Vinyl release kinda like the Purple Swirl Rebel Heart Tour Vinyl.  But it would be nice if they released this on several physical platforms, including the show on Blu-Ray.

It would likely be just a vinyl - not sure what the return on investment of a bluray would be (outside of a full MX box set post 2025) while a vinyl would do quite well like RHT

“Turn It Up” is a CLASSIC! 

Totally agree!  I actually really like a lot of those songs.  24 Hours and Best Thing Ever are catchy as hell, and Turn it Up is so great!  I was just goofing around a bit.  Even El Coco Loco is so bad that it's good, lol.

I don't see a re-issue expanded deluxe even happening for Who's That Girl and most likely YCD.  I think those are going to be limited to particular albums.  I don't think they will combine those albums into one set either.  Then again, they may just add some of the singles from WTG to the True Blue deluxe set.  "Spotlight" could also be included on TB being it was originally recorded during that time.

I'm not expecting something huge with every album.  If we get something big as a box set, I certainly will be even more happy.  Also, my other concern is... as of last year, when Stephen Bray was interviewed in a podcast, he stated he hasn't been contacted regarding the re-issues.  Maybe he has since then, but if not, I think that's insane because I would think it's essential to have him included on remastering and putting together something special.  The same for Nile Rodgers.  He said he hasn't been contacted either, but stated he would be willing to do it.  Though with Nile, both he and Madonna have been together since, so it's possible she's asked him then. 

 

 

That's what I meant about combining them, by putting Spotlight and the WTG stuff into one set.

Totally agree that it's insane that these guys haven't been contacted, but maybe they have but can't discuss it or something?  I mean, M and Warner's have to realize what we want and are expecting from these reissues.  I just really can't imagine that they're not going to release some real gold.  And remember, M did that Q&A in her bathroom, and one of the fan questions was about releasing an album of rarities.  M agreed that it was a good idea, so I have faith that we will get some quality free releases.  I mean, despite the constant bitching from the same four or five members, the releases we've gotten so far are actually pretty cool.  I mean, they re-released the Erotica picture disc, which I never thought would happen.
