She is preparing her tour... I seriously doubt that she put her nose in this kind of lame reissue. But that’s just my opinion

The original IC versione of Borderline and Lucky Star were NEVER released on digital. This is the Immaculate Collection version that was put on digital back in 2005. 
Anyway if this is a lame reissue, why do you care? You want the original IC? Listen to the cd/cassette/vinyl or find a digital rip of the cd.

Why are you being so aggressive?

If you think that’s aggressive…
I’m just over people thinking everything is shit, complaining non stop etc. We had a couple of lovely days here taking about MUSIC but no, we need to go back to the negative vibes.

So this Dolby Atmos remaster would be a "Quadraphonic" remaster (4.0) instead a 5.1, right?

I'm in heaven right now listening Vogue in my cheap home cinema.

depends how it's mixed
i remixed 5.1 to stereo and one channel can be just a DOOF of nothing
i'm sure it adds something on a proper system

So here's a question I like to put out there.... how many people from the fan base to the general public would actually be able to experience the true Atmos Dolby sound release versus to just releasing the awesome stereo mix @Aiwa08provided for us?  I'm not dismissing there aren't many who have the right sound system, etc. to hear Dolby Atmos, I'm just curious if most people coming across this won't experience it the way it should because they don't own the right sound equipment to hear it properly.  Meanwhile, I think most would be able to experience it much easier with common sound systems the way Aiwa08 provided it.  Or maybe I'm just not up to speed on what people generally own when listening to their music.  I have a receiver that has Dolby surround and TrueHD surround, but I assume that it doesn't necessarily mean I can experience Dolby Atmos the way it should be heard with my dated system. .

I'd love it if they'd release The Immaculate 12" Mixes Collection: the full extended mixes of all the album tracks. Full of ad libs, instrumental breakdowns. etc. They clearly have the stems and are no longer limited to physical media.

 

I doubt they made extended mixes for those tracks especially since the project was done very last minute

I’m pretty sure he is talking about the full original extended mixes that existed before TIC was created.

Thats why I look at TIC as a remix album.

Most of the tracks on TIC are built off of the extended versions already created.

It's just a marketing thing.  In the last couple of years, Apple has been using lossless quality and now Dolby Atmos on certain albums as a bonus, to separate themselves from Spotify and try to bring more users to Apple Music. For the artists, it's also a bonus to offer Dolby Atmos versions, to make more people stream their music.

These kind of things are always going to be limited cause general public just don't care or even notice, but they're always a good excuse to bring attention again to an old album, in this case to "The Immaculate Collection".

Good points!  And I only brought my question up because as you stated, these will always be "limited" to the general public. 

Anyway, I hate to keep gushing, but I really like what @Aiwa08did here.

Edited.

It’s definitely a remix album. 
And yes I agree. The only thing I don’t like about it is the fact that some songs are way too edited. It would be amazing to get the full versions without Q Sound

Isn’t the YouTube version already in stereo?

No, it isn't stereo. It's lossy mono

Dolby Atmos is not just for music, but in the context of music it's definitely a marketing thing to stand out against the competition.  Lots of movies released nowadays have Atmos mixes and that's likely the primary driver of adoption for the industry (you can watch movies on Netflix, Disney+, etc. with Atmos sound).  I'm guessing it was initially thought of as a way to get movie surround sound without five to seven speakers, but then was also applied to music.

Dolby Atmos for movies in home cinema even needs 10 speakers in 5.1 (5.1.4) Four speakers for the ceiling.

I feel like with streaming some of the stats are either going to Celebration or the actual albums, not this one. 11X Platinum means 11 million, right?

1 million = platinum in the US

Note:I am not giving more Immaculate PM's unless a special case or damaged link,so better go to the request page where i put it.Someone quoted the link before i hid it so use that

Not wanna be rude by the way

There would have been room for at least two more tracks without the bloated Like a Prayer and Vogue mixes they created for the Collection.

And "Live To Tell".

Reggie Lucas is dead; she referred to Jellybean as her "shitty ex-boyfriend" in 2019, so surely she doesn't want him back in any way; she hasn't talked to Bray in ages; Shep Pettibone has been out of the music business for years...

Expecting the original producers and mixers to remaster/update her old albums is just... not realistic, except for Nile Rodgers with "Like A Virgin" or maybe William Orbit with "Ray Of Light" (and "MDNA" ). Stuart Price doing a Dolby Atmos version of "Confessions" could happen too.

She reunited with Stuart Price and Jose XTravaganza. Miracles happen.

I used the stems from this forum to make an extended version of "Holiday": https://mega.nz/file/86oznZrK#tjSbevwdDvn4BbHd1rkPzlZl-3QHYnMWAPUnQkqdnjA

I’ve finally put on my fancy headphones to listen to the Atmos version…and I kind of love it. As an alternate version it’s definitely a fun listen and a bit of a curiosity. I’ve been dancing and jamming and singing for the last hour.

Does that mean that stereo pairing Atmos speakers doesn't work?  I was under the assumption that speakers like an Apple HomePod or the Sonos Era 300 were built so that you could get the effect with one, but it's better with a pair of two working together.  10 seems wild!
