[cosmic_system 1,594]

Of course the RSD vinyl was part of the deal, it was even writte in the original press relese from last year:

For the first time, Madonna will personally curate expansive deluxe editions for many of her landmark albums, as well as introduce unique releases for special events, and much more.

I've already told you that it was part of the deal - hence they could adjust the artwork and track list for the first time ever where previously they could only change the colour of the vinyl.

If you think I don't know my stuff, have a look at who follows me on twitter and other social media to see who I may be in touch with ;) 

Oh, that's so sweet of you. ;)

I mean, it's pretty obvious that the Who's that girl RSD thing was part of the deal. RSD releases aren't a new thing, but they have never been "new" releases. Previously Warner could only re-issue already existing releases. 

Yes some people here have difficulty understanding that lol

Well some people still have difficulty understanding the concept of the new compilation 😂

What I’m curious about is how are they going to re-release 17 albums in a short space of time without overkill?

If we are talking a boxset and multiple versions for every re-release surely the bulk of the fanbase could only handle a few re-releases per year? 4 per year seems like the maximum possible without the cost being too ridiculous for the average fan. And we know there will be limited editions and all that too.

I don't think all albums will get the deluxe treatment.

IF they do, I'd imagine that 2-3 a year is a good pace.

So you’re saying some albums will just get re-issued without any bonus remixes, demos etc?

[Blue Jean 7,275]

So let’s say only some albums get special deluxe box sets. The ones I would want to get that treatment would be:

Like a Virgin (inc remixes and TVT vinyl and dvd)

Like a Prayer (remixes, BAT, Demos)

Erotica (remixes, TGS remaster, demos)

Ray of light (remixes, demos)

Confessions (remixes, demos, confessions Bluray)

It's certainly hot what I hope for, but realistically there is a risk that yes, some records will be reissued without deluxe treatments and all that.

The thought bugs me, cause I WANT deluxe editions of at least the studio albums.

Time will tell.

Just imagine all the cool bonus material we could get. The gig at G-A-Y for Confessions, maybe an unknown recording from Roxy in 1998...

I don’t want to get my hopes that high honestly

I don't think DVD's or Blurays will be part of this. It'll just be about the audio. Also, the remixes for the early albums are manageable but when you're getting 20-30 remixes per single that seems like a big ask. They've been remastering the videos for online platforms already and a lot of the remixes are available digitally now so they are already covered to a large extent. I'd guess we'd get the main albums remastered plus a selection of demos or unreleased tracks and if there was a tour a live album. Sorry if I'm repeating myself, I can't remember if I've posted about this already. Either way we don't have long to wait, I expect they'll reveal all shortly after the Finally Enough Love album drops

If I remember correctly, I believe the press release said deluxe editions for SOME of her albums. So I think you're right - most albums will just be remastered and pressed on colour vinyl with maybe a couple bonus tracks.

The press release said they would do expansive deluxe editions for "many of her landmark albums", which means only landmark albums will get one, and not all of them. 

Landmark albums: Madonna, Like a virgin, True blue, Like a prayer, Erotica, Ray of light, Music, Confessions on a dance floor

[Fabiolous 4,524]

I think we will get fancy boxes for the eighties albums, Erotica and Ray of light. The others will all get re-issued but not with a crazy expensive box. I don't think we're getting Hard Candy demos lol

Boo!  The record had a lot of great songs.  She just picked the others as singles.

The people hating on Mdna - are they still buying the holographic cover though 🙄

Such as? Masterpiece is good and the rest is hot garbage.

I mean, they also say that women's basketball has good fundamentals which make up for the inability to dunk. But we all know its not true. 

Seriously though, I've learned to love MDNA. I just couldn't resist commenting.

And I am actually waiting for my holo cover to be despatched 😬

[Fabiolous 4,524]

MDNA is a terrible album with just a couple of decent songs, an embarrassment and the beginning of her decline. 

I can't wait to get my holographic sleeve. 

[Fabiolous 4,524]

Anyway we'll definitely get re-issues or anniversary editions for MDNA, Rebel Heart and Madame X as soon as we hit 2025 and Warner will be ready to take our money. 2025 = 10 years of Rebel heart. MDNA will definitely get re-issued in hot pink or purple vinyl too. 

[cosmic_system 1,594]

I’m pretty sure deluxe editions of all her albums will be released, as other artists like McCartney, U2 etc are doing. 
She LOVES Hard Candy so we will get one for that album for sure.
