    I'd argue 13, 14, 8 and either 1 or 2 have no chance of ever happening. Also, none of the remix websites seem to have noticed that the version on the Japanese 40CD set was actually a unique fade of the album version.
    What has to happen are the unique 7'' Remixes of "Express Yourself" and "Keep it Together". Hopefully soon!

    A confession that might get me killed in places, but I hate Junior's mixes. I think... all of them? But really happy about it being completist paradise? You can go and amend the ones previously released as well, Mother, we won't mind!

    So it seems they're putting all the mixes, both commercially released and promo-only ones, on these releases. By my reckoning, some of the other releases could look something like this...

"Keep It Together" could have the "Cherish" single bundled on, same with "Who's That Girl" and "Causing A Commotion." Pretty sure the "Rain" release will have the remix edit and fever edit one/two mixes added on.

    The way the intern saw us going off about Fever edit 1 & 2 missing and pulled the release so they could go and dig about in M's drawers is a bitsy iconique.
    Bit distressed about that Bedtime Story cover art too teebs.

    Welp, looks like they changed their mind and are trying to be on track with the "Frozen" and "Bedtime Story" HD uploads... New EPs coming and replacing "Fever" and "LDLHA" for now:



    They're giving us ALL the mixes. Couldn't be happier

    can you post a screenshot comparison with the Celebration version? I only watched that DVD once and I don't have it... with the comparison I did with the Mark Romanek collection dvd which was the best I could find back in the day at least when it came to compression, this upscale looks much better. Screenshots below
    I also think as far as upscales go, Madonna's are not bad at all. Even the Björk ones are surprisingly bad. It's obviously not what I want, I want proper remasters but I'm not about to expect miracles from her team at this stage.

    SHE DID NOT HAVE TO GIVE US A FUCKING WHIPLASH! This has to be one of the better upscales of her videos, with Erotica and Music. The colors, the deep blacks and the natural whites, the details that they didn't destroy like the man's pores and Madonna's eyelashes. Stunning!
    Gonna make another comparison video!

    I don't care about the source or being an upscale, it's a vast improvement. I can see details I have never seen before. Also, some effects really show their age now too 
    One of her greatest videos! Hope the remixes are next on streaming too.

    I have both... the vinyl is cheap and poorly mastered too and has the same “ess” sounds on her vocals.

    MPowered reacted to Candy Perfume Boy in Shake Your Head - Madonna Vocals HQ Remakes & Originals   
    Hi,
    So we know in 1992 Madonna refused permission to Was (Not Was) to release her unused 1982 vocals on the remix track "Shake Your Head (Lets Go To Bed)", so the remixes by Steve Silk Hurley had to be remade with Kim Basinger vocals. The full 12" remix with Madonna vocals was issued by error on "Now Dance 93" on vinyl and cassette only (these have quite poor sound), and the Madonna Dub was put on the CD "Somewhere in America there's a street named after my dad". The Kim Basinger version was then put out as the 12" remix and also had two official edits; the 3.45 "Single Remix" on the CD of "Now Dance 93", and just to really confuse everyone a different longer 4.00 edit on "Now 23"!!
    In the folder there's all the official Madonna and Kim Basinger Versions, plus I removed Kim Basinger off the Now 23 edit and Single Remix to create Madonna and Ozzy versions, plus a solo Madonna Single Version. I also remade the 12" Remix with a CD rip removing Kim's vocals and overdubbing Madonna's vocals from my cassette rip. I'm really pleased with that one, at last it has a more pristine sound instead of crappy analogue rip quality. 
    So to avoid confusion they're all well labelled!
    We have;
    1. Single Remix - Madonna only vocals - fanmade
    2. Single Remix - Madonna & Ozzy - fanmade
    3. Single Remix - Kim & Ozzy - Official CD Rip
    4. Dub - Madonna & Ozzy - Official CD Rip
    5. 12" Remix - Madonna & Ozzy - Official Cassette Rip
    6. 12" Remix - Madonna & Ozzy - Digital remake with CD backing track
    7. 12" Remix - Kim & Ozzy - Official CD Rip
    8. Now 23 Edit - Madonna & Ozzy - fanmade

    MPowered got a reaction from Voguerista in The Top Three Madonna Albums That Best Represents Her and Her Career   
    Like a Prayer
    Ray of Light
    Confessions on a Dance Floor
    These are her three most autobiographical, honest and acclaimed albums. They represent undeniable popularity and artistic peaks in her career. All three of them also seems somewhat interrelated. Confessions has an incredible amount of nods to both of these albums and it just feels like coming full circle with these three.

    Hi Hi. Question: If you were to name THREE of Madonna's albums (excluding her greatest hits) that best represent her and her career as a whole at this time, which would you choose and why? (If you can't stop at three, you can name more)
    I would choose Like A Prayer (for the emotion, the controversy, and religious aspect), Ray Of Light (for the complete mix up from her previous albums, the spiritual and life journey, and the experimental sound. Also, for her beauty and creative Geisha style), and Confessions On A Dancefloor (for the full on dance album and for the dancer she is).

    MPowered reacted to RinoTheBouncer in The Mistreatment of Madonna’s Legacy   
    One of the things that really bother me about Madonna and her management is their disrespect towards Madonna’s legacy. So much of Madonna’s past work is abandoned. There’s no cohesive effort to constantly emphasize on her as an artist and her name, and that is probably one of the reasons why she might be less popular now than she used to be and not as often mentioned as Michael Jackson for example, because for an artist that has literally created the blueprint for touring, theatrical music videos and meaningful, provocative albums and “appearances”, she and her management are always silent about her music and her previous works as a whole and even her name, her presence as a celebrity, unless there’s something new to sell.
    When a new single drops, social media will feature posts, banners and new profile pics, her website will have some slight new redesigns, her app (which is a disaster), her fan club..etc. they do get updated but then once a week or two have passed on the era, they’re done and you’re left with this same theme for the next 3-4 years.
    There’s no emphasis on past hits, no anniversary releases, no merchandise celebrating past eras and not even any future tours that feature songs from recent albums. Her last 5 eras had songs that only got performed on their own tours and never mentioned again, no small show appearances unless there’s a new record coming, no interviews, no magazine photoshoots, and when the miracle happens it’s either a cheap magazine or some foreign branch of a big one or a mediocre photoshoot or outfits, she also doesn’t give much attention or care for what she wears or the quality of her posts on social media.
    Many artists have made each post on Instagram feel like a curated work of art or a professional new photoshoot. All these have a major impact to an artist’s image and how interesting they look to the public..etc.
    Many artists, many of whom are indie with a fraction of Madonna’s budget or popularity, release beautifully packaged and designed color vinyls, box sets, great merchandise with original and very unique designs, even the clothes they sell feel like genuinely well-made and well designed pieces that you’d like to buy even without the artist’s name on them, but for somE reason, they only celebrate Madonna’s legacy with a tweet if we’re lucky or some random website releases a limited low effort re-release of an old record, or some cheaply made, badly designed yet over-priced apparel or objects are made.
    Everything feels low effort, low budget and uninspired, like she and her label don’t even have a heart in it anymore. Don’t get me started about how terribly designed single artworks are and how this trend for bad photoshop is even affect her album artwork. Images are shot low quality or when edited, given high contrast to cover the details instead of proper airbrushing which ends up looking really cheap. The logo on her sewn mouth on the standard edition, what is that??? A drop shadow effect??? I wouldn’t do this to a selfie and I’m not even a celebrity or anything.
    The website design is a disaster, the fan club is dated and clunky, the app had me spend 8 months emailing back and forth with the team to fix a login issue to no avail, not to mention outdated and hardly has anything interesting or extensive, only bits of info and a bad design and it crashes often or doesn’t feel stable even on the latest iPhone. Doesn’t she like to have a source of knowledge about her that matches her image? A comprehensive source of photography and info about her entire career? I get the excuse that she likes to look forward, but it’s not like she’s going to burn anniversary discs on her computer by herself or even design her own website by her hands. You can do both things especially when she has 3-4 year gaps between eras where she’s not doing anything and her team could be handling the legacy stuff.
    Singles are released with minimum effort. There’s always a deal like Super Bowl or Eurovision or Grammys for the lead single and beyond that? It’s complete silence. They say she spent $5m on the Billboard performance. That money would’ve been much better spent on a visual album or more performances for the other singles or a better iTunes marketing deal like Beyoncé had the whole iTunes Store covered with her albums when she launched her self titled visual album or hell been a payola deal that everyone does these days. But no, you have one single and then a tour and now even the tour was plagued with cancellations, tardiness, embarrassing moments not to mention the lack of filming which would’ve been free promo for her. Everything felt so silent and the era was dead after Eurovision, not to mention she sang a promo single, a weird excerpt of an album track and a 30 year old hit on her biggest ever promo opportunity instead of some actual single... 
    Whether it’s longtime hardcore fans you’re after or new audiences, these things have a huge impact on maintaining an artist’s image. Her legacy matters and when a label emphasizes on that gold mine she has, they can always help keep her relevant instead of looking for the next rapper or sexy young talent to sing a mediocre song with and blame its underperformance on sexism and ageism. Bowie passed away but they find any excuse to release some anniversary edition or collector’s box for him every few weeks. Metallica does the same and they made two albums for MJ after his death lol.
    Madonna is no less important and if she’s not as relevant, it’s not only because of ageism and sexism but also because of lack of intelligence in marketing her and maintaining her image. The decision-making process behind her releases and managing her appearance, image and legacy is really cringeworthy at this point and it doesn’t match the value and the status of someone like Madonna whose work made peopke easily define music as “before and after Madonna”.
    Can we celebrate 8 years Girl Gone Wild with a vinyl? 5 years of Ghosttown with another vinyl or a piece of merch from set? Ray of Light with a box set? Confessions Tour? How about re-releasing those Celebration and Royal Box sets that we can actually get from her store instead of paying hundreds to eBay scalpers? Or a restock of MDNA, Celebration and Hard Candy vinyls that are now out of stock and selling for $200-$500? I’d rather that money go to her than anyone else.
    Hell, even release the SEX book with new packaging or past tours on 4K Blu-Ray like thousands of movies that aren’t even true 4K being released in a better upscaling with AI Machine learning techniques, and past music videos that are still in SD.
    They’re not even sending singles to radios anywhere but US, UK, Italy and few other places (to my knowledge), why? They’re underestimating her and their scope and planning for her career is so limited and they aren’t looking at how her legacy can be a huge investment. She doesn’t have to be dead for them to celebrate her...

    1. MDNA - awkward, lifeless and just all over the place. All of the songs are rejects and it's hard to go through this album without cringing.
    2. Madame X - This definitely had more involvement from Madonna than MDNA, sadly she has shown that in terms of songwriting, she has completely run out of ideas. The melodies and lyrics are half-baked, the production on the vocals is an absolute tragedy. There was no need for the vocoder. It sounds tragic.
    3. Erotica - This album is just downright overrated. All of the songs sound like demos and the album has aged terribly when compared to her other 90s albums. The album is too long and it's lacking of strong and catchy melodies. The "talking" gets tiring and the whole thing sounds like the soundtrack to a terrible softporn/b-movie.

    What was the story behind Get The Party Started? Wasn't it Linda Perry the one who wanted M on it?? So glad she turned it down. There's a few I wish she'd turned down Girl Gone Wild and Revolver  
    Moby first approached M to record New York New York before it went to Debbie Harry, shame as it's such a fun track! 
    Another MDNA reject was MIA's Sexodos - love this track
    Another great MDNA reject was Kids by Free School & Boyz Noize which samples Sirismo's High Together,  Kelis previously recorded it for her album Flesh Tones. Jean-Baptiste (Free School) said in an interview that M even recorded a vocal for Kids, so it's out there somewhere.
    Another AMAZING track is she stupidly turned down along with "Wake Me Up" was "Can't Forget You" by William Orbit Laurie Mayer, Jean-Baptiste sings the demo.

    There's a SIA song too on one of her album but I don't know which track it is.
    MDNA could've been a fucking EPIC album if she'd had her head screwed on straight.
