Nobody Knows Me

Just because you haven’t noticed the errors doesn’t mean they don’t exist. They do. But the point is that quality control is poor. Even the liner notes on celebration gave incorrect writer’s credits. They DID reissue a corrected version of the Celebration CD (I have version 1 and version 2 and they are listed on Discogs) with Cherish and Erotica edits corrected. On Erotica the error version cuts a beat too late after the Arabic chant bridge and on Cherish they edited the lyric to “Cant get away I won’t let… to” rather than “I could never forget to”. Die another day and Hollywood were simply lifted from the American life cd which has incorrect track markers, and clips the intros. As someone else mentions “Music” still isn’t fixed. But if these things aren’t a problem for you, I accept that. But it annoys the hell out of other people, me included. And the messed up intros on the new True Blue digital release is just careless.

Emily has fixed the glitches on Where’s the Party and Love Makes the World go Round!

They managed to master and distribute the original album back in 1986 without cutting the intro off three of the tracks, but not for the “remastered” version in 2021. Same with the Celebration CD - Erotica and Cherish were edited incorrectly and the cd was then corrected and reissued, Hollywood had the beats from American life audible on the intro, Die Another Day had the intro clipped and Music had digital pops and clicks not heard on the original. This isn’t about people being fussy or trying to be a sound engineer. It’s about the record company maintaining good professional standards and not redistributing music in a defective state.

The only compilation I’m aware of that has it is Madonna’s “It’s That Girl” (1987) Uk promo cassette. I don’t know of any other release (either Madonna or Various Artists) that has it but would be good to hear if anyone knows of another.

What I don't understand about all of this is why in Japan can make a box set with her singles from 1983 to 1995 with versions released only on vinyl with an amazing quality but now they use CDrips to make the album anniversary of "True blue". How does it work? What did the Japanese Warner used to do that compilation?
Some times I think that it's that they just don't care but here, on the forum, someone told that Rusty Egan was asked for the masters of "Everybody" to use them on future releases. If I'm not wrong in 2004 (more or less) there were rumors about Caresse (I think it was she) was taking all the masters of what Madonna was recorded and released to digitalized them too and "Celebration" had a sticker saying "Remastered using the original tapes". That's what I don't understand about all this.
Who has the masters? Warner Japan? Madonna? What about the remixes used in compilatios like the edit of "Lucky star" or "Causing a commotion" included on the Gold Discs TM Century? I guess Warner had to give them the song to add it... Don't know, I'm completly lost with this situation...
About the "True blue" edition... I think it's just OK, good for the general public and that's all... The intentions were good but as she sang in for Minutes "The road to hell..."
 

We were all very happy (and vocal about it) with most of the digital singles releases. Those have been handled super properly, in my opinion. I always say it but what I love most about those is that they're not remastered and it's the original sound. I hate when they pump up the volume just for the sake of it (they did that with Janet Jackson's old singles when they released them on digital, as far as I hear).
It's part of my "problem" with "True Blue 35th": I'm not sold on the remastering and the quality of the bonus tracks is far from perfect. But I understand the 80s stuff is different from the 90s and later. I guess the 90s masters can be used as they were and they will be just a little lower in volume, while with anything pre-"Like A Prayer" they need to touch it a little bit to adjust it to modern standards.
Or simply the original masters are lost and that's it. 
Also, as someone said before here, a reissue like "True Blue 35th" is for the general public, while the digital singles are for almost for fans only - and future fans.

And Like A Prayer with the Promo Only Dubs included. More of the same please, Warner!

Well, I implore you to listen to "Music" on any copy of "Celebration", and if you still hear nothing wrong, your opinion simply isn't relevant, for whichever reason, be it genuine inability to hear these things, or stan goggles. I really suspect it's the latter.

Yeah, that post was pretty disingenuous. I think everyone was damn happy with the "Bedtime Story" EP. Same with "Express Yourself"

Rhino asked fans on Twitter what they thought of the album and several people mentioned the missing tracks and errors, including me. Rhino liked my comment! Maybe they are listening? Maybe one day we’ll get Open Your Heart 7” Remix too [emoji13]

The problem is that there is no quality control with Madonna releases. Most of the mixes on this True Blue collection are sourced from those terrible sounding yellow CD singles. Of course the fans are going to be upset. We were just as upset when we bought those CDs in 1995 and they sounded like crap.
The fact that people on this forum are able to create a better sounding collection with less resources shows how much Warner / Rhino give a shit and it's a slap in the face to the fans.
 

They are brave

Interesting info about "True Blue 35th": "Where's The Party" and "Love Makes The World Go Round" are not available at the moment on the album on Apple Music and iTunes.
I think they're replacing them with the correct versions without the issues at the start of each track.
Maybe Emily is real and read us after all? 

What a nice surprise!!! I think it looks really good and the details are incredible, her eyes, her face, the hair, the water... <3
