THIS!!!! 🙌❤️

Absolutely! The Dig! Store haven’t offered any sort of explanation as to why some peoples boxset has been “packing” since Tuesday. It’s not like it’s a £12.99 CD. I’ve paid £157 including postage. It’s awful customer service!

Me too. I’m so disappointed.

“And that’s the god-damn truth…..””

But they’re not strictly are they? Finally is a brand new compilation and the WTG release was a brand new release, there was never a WTG Super Club Mix, it’s “special release” as it’s mentioned in the original press release. Reissues would be an existing album that is being reissued with new material, as in remixes, b sides and demos added to the original existing album. 
 
I think what you mean to say, is that they are part of the new deal. 

But from a PR point of view, her birthday would be the ideal time to announce the start of the reissues. Yes ‘Finally’ is released this Friday, but to announce the reissues today with a tag line of “hot on the heels of her 50 numbers, comes the start of the reissues of the albums that made those number ones”….or something to that effect. 
 
I think it’s frustrating that it’s been twelve months since the big announcement of her being back with Warner and announcing the deluxe editions, which fans have been waiting for, for YEARS, to only have to wait so long for a reissue to be confirmed, and we’re no further forward with it. 
 
I just think her birthday would have been the ideal time to get the ball rolling and get the pre orders out. 
 
I also find it odd that there have been no videos or mentions  on Instagram or her social media of her curating the albums. She’s usually quick to tease a project sometimes months in advance, like she did with the remix compilation. It makes me wonder if she has even started to get the reissues ready. 

They could use her birthday for the announcement as it’s a good PR tool. Just because we have FEL coming this week doesn’t mean that they can’t announce the next phase of the reissues. 

According to Amazon Prime, my items will be delivered on Friday, so fingers crossed. Not sure about the 6LP set though, as that’s coming from her webstore. 

That 'very average song' as you describe it, kicked off an extraordinary 40 year career, it's very likely it will be celebrated next 

Perhaps the album reissues will start in July next year to coincide with the debut album’s 40th anniversary? I have to say, I do think this reissue deal was announced way too early. It was announced twelve months ago now, and the first special release we got was in April. I think it would have been better to have made the announcement in March of this year perhaps. It’s been a long wait and we still haven’t got a deluxe album reissue, which is what we want. 

I thought she looked amazing. She was playful and funny, however I was a little disappointed that they didn’t talk more about her career or the reissues that are planned. This would have been the perfect opportunity to have M as a solo guest for the whole show, and to ask about her career, and for her to offer up stories from the past 40 years. There was no mention of the biopic either.

We all know what #soon means

Not long now until M’s birthday! Do we think we will get an announcement of the reissues on her birthday?

Perhaps Like a Virgin will kickstart the reissues in October and the debut will follow next year for its 40th anniversary?

Yes and they sound amazing. It’s a shining example of how to get an album reissue right.

How so? Prince estate released an 8 disc boxset of Sign of the Times. 4 discs of which were unreleased vault tracks.

I disagree. What we have to remember here is that Warner have negotiated a deal (contract) for “extensive, expansive, deluxe” editions of her landmark albums. From those keywords in last years press release, we are going to be looking at boxsets which will include a lot of material. Remastered album, B Sides, remixes and unreleased tracks, I would say would be the minimum. If it was a case of just remastering the album and sticking a few remixes on the end of it, I would imagine they would have been released a lot earlier than this. I think the fact that it has nearly been twelve months since the initial press release means they have been working on a lot more than just a remaster and a few remixes. 
 
She may release an “8 CD set” (for example) as a limited release, like the 6 LP set for FEL, and then a smaller set for the general public who perhaps would not want all of the extras that the hardcore fans will want. Time will tell, but my hopes are high ❤️
