I agree. I get the feeling that the debut’s 40th anniversary was not celebrated due to her illness and her stay in the hospital. Let’s not forget that she was very ill at that time and I think looking back now, knowing what we know, it would have been in poor taste to celebrate when she wasn’t in the right place to celebrate. Guy O said at the time that all upcoming plans were on hold, so that tells me something was planned. Let’s wait and see. I don’t think they will let the 40th anniversary of Like a Virgin come and go without any acknowledgment. 

Hear Hear.
They will release the reissues when they're ready, not when fans demand them for certain dates.
I follow www.superdeluxeedition.com alot, and they often mention that this and that reissue took years to finish.  It's the same thing with Madonna. If we want something worth our money, we have to be patient.
It's been close to three years since the announcement, so I'm sure they're in the final stages of releasing the first reissue.
I also thing they're working on several reissues at the same time.

I would actually prefer them to not follow an anniversary date. I too think they are coming. And I’m sure they will be worth the wait when they do come. Meanwhile it’s nice to have the singles issued to streaming services 😀

Or maybe they won't follow a chronological route and the first one won't be for the first album. Who knows.
I'm sure they're eventually coming. When and how? We'll see.

Well going by that logic, I would assume we won’t be getting anything in the way of reissues full stop then. If they aren’t going to celebrate her 40th anniversary with anything special apart from the tour, they aren’t going to start now. 

Have the lyrics of Madonna's new single been leaked? 
"Locked Up Tight"
Come on, fans, do you believe in Deluxe Editions?
'Cause I got something to say about it,
And it goes something like this:
Verse 1:
Don't go for leaks, they won't impress me,
Your tears, your cries, they just don't stress me.
Locked in a vault, that's where they will stay,
No deluxe edition's coming your way.
Chorus:
So, what you need is a new desire,
All those demos are stuck in the fire.
Don’t need to show it, baby, just know it,
No unreleased songs, I won’t bestow it.
Verse 2:
You deserve the best in life,
But they’re mine and sealed tight,
You can scream and shout, no chance I'll let them out,
No new remixes, no unreleased hits.
Chorus:
So, what you need is a new desire,
All those demos are stuck in the fire.
Don’t need to show it, baby, just know it,
No unreleased songs, I won’t bestow it.
Bridge:
Express yourself, no need for tears,
Respect yourself, for all these years.
The vault's the place where they’ll remain,
No deluxe versions to entertain.
Chorus:
So, what you need is a new desire,
All those demos are stuck in the fire.
Don’t need to show it, baby, just know it,
No unreleased songs, I won’t bestow it.
Outro:
Locked up tight, you'll never see,
Those unreleased songs are just for me.
No deluxe editions, that’s the key,
Your cries won't weaken, won’t weaken me.

A concert film will be released!  We know it's being worked on as we speak!  And yes, most likely some sort of audio release will happen as well.  Streaming/digital and Vinyl seem most possible as those are the most popular formats these days.

I get what you're saying, but I'd think packaging them in one complete era is a good idea too.   Virgin Tour seems like a perfect way to package with the Debut and Virgin albums.   Anyway, it's all wishful thinking.   

It shouldn't be hard to do this being it's already been upgraded to HD on the full LIVE AID DVD release.  The only issue that could prevent this from happening is that her performances may be legally restricted to the LIVE AID release only.  But I guess if someone can prove some other artist from the event was able to include in their personal release collections that could debunk that "right".   Unless each artists have different restrictions or specific legal agreements to the Live Aid event?

Loving the WTG remix & dub! Feel so NYC 86/87.
Regardless of whatever flaws some eps have, this campaign has been great for (re)acquainting myself w/mixes I wasn’t close with before (or didn’t know at all).

I say before we move on speculating what's next we just enjoy this beauty...
 

Hmmm…I’m not so sure that she wouldn’t add The Virgin Tour because she hates it. She may have thought that way twenty years ago, but I think she has a new appreciation for her past work since working on the biopic and the Celebration Tour. Her live shows, particularly the first three tours, have never been released on newer formats, ie DVD, Blu-Ray and streaming, and they are a part of musical history especially the Blond Ambition Tour, so she and Warner Bros will be well aware that it would be good business sense to get the masters of these shows out of the archives, remastered to the best ability and out there for the masses to enjoy again, and for a new generation to witness for the first time and see how the blueprint for tours to come was made. 

I think we can expect live elements to the reissues. Her live shows are as important as her music. It would be silly not to include them. 

Yes! How amazing would that be! 🥰

Her Live Aid performance would certainly be counted as Like a Virgin era, so yes, a remastered copy of her performance would be an excellent addition! 

Let's not forget that she randomly uploaded Express Yourself and Deeper And Deeper from The Girlie Show in YT recently so they're clearly at least looking into her live shows. 
 
Imagine a super deluxe edition of LAV:
Remastered album
Deleted/demo tracks 
The Virgin Tour live audio 
The Virgin Tour remastered Blu-ray 
All housed in a beautiful box full of photos including outtakes with the packing held together by a Boy Toy belt. Ahhh a gay can dream 

I think we can expect live elements to the reissues. Her live shows are as important as her music. It would be silly not to include them.

Well, Ciao Italia was reissued on DVD some 20 years ago, but I do agree that all her concerts would benefit greatly from a remaster and reissue on BluRay and streaming.
I'm hoping for concert BluRays in the super deluxe editions of the coming reissues.

I'd love to have live material either audio or video added.

Prince worked on music twenty four seven. He was his own producer and had his own studio in his home, so he produced masses of work. It’s extraordinary how much music he created. I am sure M has created a lot of unreleased music over the years, but Prince is a one off in the volume of unreleased work he had in his vault.
