GLOSS | Madonna by Andrew Caulfield book (Borderline photosession) is coming!!!

[otcoam 12,674]

Where is the excitement for this release on this forum?  Seems like it's being largely ignored by everyone here.

I can't wait to have this beauty in my hands.

I don't buy physical releases anymore, but this book will be an exception. I will try to get my copy when the pre-sale begins

Another book from them in that horrible and pointless format. Thank God I’m not tempted to buy it, I even sold the first one they did. It’s a shame the can’t release a normal book with those stunning pictures along with a more “arty” version.

Release date?

[Bjonkers 1,171]

I think these books are quite overpriced for a one-shoot collection. Nice to have and everything, but if they see us all forking out €150-€200 for a shoot by a relatively unknown photographer that was probably done in an hour, imagine what they're going to charge us when they eventually get around to doing a Madonna/Herb Ritts book for example.

Guys

The presale has started and the site crashes a lot but you do eventually get through.  This feels just like the Bowie presale for the Brilliant Live Adventures cds/lps/boxes sale.

Good luck everyone and keep tapping refresh!

The limited edition is old out!

The site crashed a lot, but in the end I bought the limited edition (the strictly 100 limited one was sold out).

I bought it but with VAT and shipping it was sooo expensive! More than 220 euros. I feel a little stupid.

Don't worry, you are not alone

The cover is so boring, and it wasn't clear to me what the differences were between the two editions. Oh well.

This is stuff I want but I cannot justify it either so much music expense this year

THe books are the same (except a diagonal, not vertical pocket), the strictly limited edition is accompanied by a signed print.

Imagine being told in 1984 that the Gloss magazine would finally come to life in 2023!

It feels surreal that the mystery is finally lifted after almost 40 years, and that the shoot is no longer exclusive to the Borderline video.

I wonder why none of these photos were ever used anywhere before. It's crazy. They are instantly iconic.

Was there a disagreement between the photographer, Madonna or the record company?

The shoot totally captures the essence of who she was at that time, and I would go as far as to say that it does so in a better way than many photos that were used in magazines.

It may be expensive, but to me seeing those pics released it is beyond joy.

I remember stopping the tape to see those pictures in low res vhs and dreaming of them to be available... and now, 40 yrs later, they are. Finally.

It is another little dream come true.

I wish we could get the shoots as a digital file. But i know With how strict they are thats a no go. Just like Adore. Cause these shoots are some of her best 80s photo layouts. Crazy it took this long to get them.

As far as I'm concerned these are by now the only books that deserve to be bought (same thing  the Corman's and Maripol Book ).They contain unique material and above all this after years and years contains the shots we all wanted in the 80's, the famous Borderline shooting!The Book is actually expensive (as were the previous ones) but in the end it contains material that made HISTORY.

And since I've seen too much rubbish in recent years.. I'm happy that books come out with material worthy of being considered as such.
