So if this one is gonna be a black vinyl edition, what happened to those picture discs that we saw pics?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I think those images were fake, considering that now also the release has been suspended (see my latest update).

So this idea that Madonna can't release multiple things in one years time, is null and void, because it's possible. I realize no one said this here, but it's been said before regarding the re-issues. 

Of course not.

But if you want to ship X units to X fans, and later X units to the same number of fans, you have to make sure they can afford both or your marketing plan is wrong.

If you release them in a 2 months period, more people are likely to skip one of them due to budget constraints. You can't assume everybody has $100 to spare on M every month unless you want to address a tiny portion of the fanbase only and thus exclude the majority of more casual fans.

This is not how you market and sell a mainstream act like M.

You won't regret it.  And honesty, I understand those who prefer streaming and digital.  I agree it's very convenient.  I use those formats as well, but at the end of the day, I prefer to stick to Vinyl.  Madonna is the only artist that I do buy nearly all formats that are released.  But there was a long period I never bought vinyl from Madonna.  Now I regret not getting those singles that were available on Vinyl at least in the early 90's.  For some time after Vinyl just disappeared, especially singles.

Actually my main reason is having everything in digital format, so I feel it’s pointless to open and play LPs! 🙃

So RAINBOW FEL and that’s it? No more releases?

Vinyls are like dicks...

You think you are getting 3 in one go and they cancel on you at the last minute..

[Roy 7,613]

I am back only to see that this vinyl release is cancelled.

Motherfucker.

[Sheridan1980 1,103]

Is there an official statement it's cancelled ? Why is it cancelled ? I want it !

EDIT:

My record store just received an update from Warner Italy that the release of the MXT triple vinyl, originally planned for August 25, has been cancelled. I guess this has to do with the tour postponement. I was also asked to remove my original post, I am sorry if I generated false expectations and created fake news.

True. Everything is paused.

The press release mentioned July 15, so it was not updated with the resent news. 

I am sorry for creating a rumour.

Not so much a rumor. The planned release came from an official source. We know it’s a real item. It’s just unfortunately postponed until whenever….

[steady75 9,570]

Maybe the hype of the tour hitting the headlines was the promo for any released items.

Maybe the march stands were gonna have exclusive musical content.

Maybe she was gonna release a new song each week 

Maybe there was loads of cool shit we just ain't getting now. 

Maybe it was a playlist with one new edit.

 

[EgoRod 5,451]

I think considering that there's not an official statement about the dates postponed . Doing the promotion for some Madame X vinyls would be confusing and not very successful.

Maybe they are waiting to have a spooky colours version for Halloween and some 'Hall-o-graphic' sleeve

Jk, jk

What brand? 

After a long research, I got myself a budget but very good quality turntable: https://www.audio-technica.com/en-ca/at-lp120xusb it comes with a Motor-driven plate rather than a belt (so the records are always on correct pitch). It also comes with a built-in amplifier, so you'd just connect it to Powered Speakers. That's it.

If you want to upgrade further for better sounding, the needle is the next thing. It comes with a very good one, but if you update it to a Microlinear needle (which goes deeper into the records' groove, hence better read frequency), such as: https://www.audio-technica.com/en-ca/at-vm95ml

Then, many audiophiles would recommend to upgrade the internal amplifier to an external one, before connecting to the speakers. This is totally optional but I did it just for fun, the sound was slightly improved, with a better soundstage. I got https://ifi-audio.com/products/zen-phono/ 

All these items are mid-priced, not too cheap but definitely not thousands of $$$, especially if you want just a good quality for casual listening
Hope this helped!

Wait for the 40 hype to be over and release this secretly

[Material Girl 4,651]

Well what a day.

I spent my time looking for a pre-order link,  in defeat, when I saw this info on Twitter.
I come home from work to learn that hardly the information of its untimely appearance, this one is cancelled...
Is this a fan joke or a new erotica picture disc episode?

Thanks for updating this.  This is sad.  I was hoping this was going to happen.  I wonder why the tour being cancelled has anything to do with releasing this?  I can't see how the two really connects?  Weird.

This makes sense, but I think this idea is thrown out the window.  U2 has been releasing things left and right and doing a tour as well.  I've noticed other acts releasing or re-issuing music every few months too. 

But I get what you mean.  I'm just broke thinking about the possibilities here.  I feel her store will be loaded with a lot of things once the tour starts.

[Shoful 8,552]

Wtf come here to find it cancelled 

Why would this release be tied with the tour tho. Her least successful album is getting a vinyl release for her last tour in promotion of her new tour 4 years later
