The movie version is my favorite. It needs to be on there. It has the super lesbo/gay subtext passage in it that is really powerful. 

Do you really believe that?
I really doubt Madonna specifically double-checks every tracklist of every re-issue and SPECIFICALLY decides to leave out Momo's Fantasy from the Deeper And Deeper EP but instead pushes for the wrong edit of Borderline to be uploaded. 💀😂
She is probably not THAT involved. She gives the go for a re-issue, sure. She most likely doesn’t curate the actual tracklist herself. She doesn’t have time for that.

Yes because he was trying to counter the auction that was happening at the time to devalue the price people would ask for them.  My guess Madonna approved it before he did so, knowing if he didn't do it, it would eventually have ended up being on the internet unofficially.  Also, let's remember he had intentions in building on that, by releasing an album based on new interpretations of the songs they worked on, but we all saw that quickly squashed and oddly, he hasn't been so active on social media since.
 

Indeed but the inconsistency and lack of transparency regarding these releases is so annoying. I'd rather they take their time to carefully curate these collections and give us all versions.
They have done that for J.Lo, Kylie and Janet occasionally. It’s annoying that Madonna's team is seemingly clueless about her back catalogue or keeps putting people in charge that are not knowledgeable and lazy.

We've heard you the first time, Missy!
Once again, this thread is an anticipation thread for DIGITAL RE-ISSUES OF HER SINGLES CATALOGUE. Many of these had vinyl or promo only mixes included. Our theories are not entirely unfounded based on previous instances.
If you don’t care about that, please please please take yourself out of this thread instead of constantly shaming us for collecting or caring about these things. You are literally being extremely repetitive at this point. There is actually quite a large group of people on here that are collectors and many of us don’t have the money to buy rare and elusive promo releases or in-house reference CDs.
Having these OFFICIALLY released version that were only pressed on analogue and lossy sources (vinyl or cassette) in digital form (and available as download) is a dream come true for many of us. 
It's literally so so annoying for you to always come in here and rain on our parade. So what if we're disappointed occasionally? The anticipation and speculation is the most fun part anyway. I really don’t understand what your goal in this thread is other than to annoy us and make yourself look superior to us.

I’ve tried contacting them via Twitter. Maybe some people can repost this? 💀

Judging by the ISRC Search thingy this appears to be the tracklist:
I'll Remember - Album Version (4:24) USWB10301212 I'll Remember - Orbit Remix (mislabeled as Orbit Alternative Remix) (4:23) USWB10300409 I'll Remember - Guerilla Beach Remix (6:21) USWB10300407 Why's It So Hard - Live Version-from Girlie Show Video (5:12) USWB10300484 Biggest fuck-up since Borderline and I truly hope we can mobilize everyone to contact the people responsible to fix this release or re-upload it. They are clearly aware of the existence of the two missing mixes but are too dumb and incompetent to tag them correctly. Idiots.

See, if you were to just say that instead of "I'm ready for the meltdowns" or "Only hardcore fans care about it", it would be a different story.
But you literally keep shoving that completely biased and unfounded opinion down our throats and it’s very exhausting and kills our anticipation and excitement.

I thought this was funny.  I like old school basketball and got this clip in my YouTube recommendations.  Then I thought wasn't this around the time she was dating Dennis Rodman?
 
So yeah I caught her at 5:06 and 1:35:30 below!  
 
 
She's cute even just sitting there.  She looked like her one sister there, I think Paula Ciccone.
 
The game itself was pretty good as well!  

THE VINYL ONLY MIXES OF I'll REMEMBER are also coming! 

1989.10 Oh Father Video Shoot  Negatives - Lorraine Day :

FEL is really the only thing we could describe as substantial to come our way. (And she still managed to fuck with it, sorry I mean “personally curate” it with CAC being dumped)
That’s it. A deleted picture disc for a song from her least successful era, while cute and thoughtful, is not a big deal. I do appreciate these little things for the die hards  but they really are the windows mite when it comes to availability of back catalogue.
I think it just speaks to how deprived of any kind of back catalogue goodies over the years we've been, that we get semi’s over the potential of an actual 7” version of a song (the version the world came to know and fall in love with) being made available on the major platform for music. While the majority of major artists have had the vast majority of theirs available for years. 
The press release led with the Expanded Editions angle. 
From the leaks she has suffered in recent times and questions from journalists about her vault, she knows well enough what the fans want and that a coloured vinyl with some old already available remixes just won’t cut it with much of the fanbase. 

The point of this Warner deal is to maximise profits. As one of the holy Trinity she can not be the first one to put out a Celebratory landmark edition with no new unreleased songs. Prince & Michael have done it and she knows she needs to too. 

Though they need to get a hurry on. The vinyl reassurance is reaching saturation point and vinyl fatigue is setting in with many collectors. The prices are making people less impulse led and people are saving their coin for the real must haves, often just one from each artist for their collection. I think Celebration vinyl will do really well. 
When they come and when they have the additional unreleased content, ( which let's be honest, is pretty much the bedrock of this entire forum),  she’ll have my money. Until then save the turtles tbh. 

They tried to make the USB format work around late 00s and early 10s but it was simply too expensive to manufacture so the final price was too high. I remember Kylie released "X" on USB and it was around 40-50 $?

Cute but no one beside hardcore fans would pay that for an album.
Then Gaga, of course taking notes from the "X" campaign (the whole "Wow" video look and vibe inspired her many times), did limited edition USBs for her first albums.
Back to M, I checked out on the reissues when they skipped "Madonna 40" last Summer. If they come, they come, if they don't, fine. But if the new album is coming this year as rumored, I guess we won't see them anytime soon, anyway.

I agree! Nothing needs to be closed here!  Some act like they are being forced to open this thread and forced to read it.  Everyone has the choice not to.  It's a "discussion thread".  People are going to offer their opinions which I do respect and others will counter with facts as well. Of course, there will be difference of opinions here, but for some to come in here to simply complain or shade people who actually take time to write their thoughts down respectfully is not productive. I for one understand those who are frustrated, but let's not act like EVERYONE is "satisfied" just because they are able to explain and understand what the Warner Deal entails. Of course, I would love to have more!  But I'm not also going to gaslight and act like NOTHING has been produced.  That's just not true!  Just because one doesn't like what has come of the deal, doesn't mean NOTHING has been produced.  @GregVsMattis correct. Some are confusing their emotions/opinions with actual facts. I'm not mad or pissed at anything said here. I welcome all who have an opinion, but it doesn't mean I won't challenge you on it.  And if one can't read or write past a sentence or two without shading people for those who can, then maybe you shouldn't be participating in a discussion. 

I cannot believe they put out that sub Keep It Together. They Didn't even Include the 7" Promo Remix, Just the Single Remix.
if You Want The 7" Promo it's on the USA promo CD, Why Would they not put it there, Lazy. Here it is:

why they are so slowwwwwwwwwww? why they cant put every single edition out weekly so Madonna fans have all on spotify like every other singer?

Really odd to criticize and belittle fans because they haven’t heard every single Madonna remix ever made and released….

I get what she was going for with this cover - it had great potential as an idea. It's the poor use of digital effects which make it weak in my opinion. There was really no need to make her eyes that blue colour when her own aquamarine colour is so unique to her. Madame X on her lips using some skilled sfx makeup technique instead of just a graphic across her lips would have been truly poignant, the way they did it makes it look like an afterthought. And the typeface used for her name is unworthy of the name it spells. 
The other covers also have flaws, but I'll take the blonde cover as my best of the 3.

About the audio tracks:
Tracks 1, 3 and 4 are the same as the ones from the Promo CD/Japanese EP.
Track 2 (12" Remix) runs at a slightly different speed.
Track 5 (Instrumental) doesn't match the speed of the one from the Japanese EP.
Wonder where they got those ones from..

And this lovely specch of 1987

If I had to guess, they took the file from the US CD maxi, cut it down, and then made it louder. It was already at the limit of loudness on the US single, so the UK one just sounds harsh and overcooked.

It's been a while since I heard. I never hated it, and this morning I heard it, and just sort of melted me. It's a pretty sweet (and emotional) song. What I liked about it, it was quite different (at the time) to anything she's really done before when it comes to ballads.  It's funny how some prefer to just chuck this and other songs they dislike, and whine over a certain "edit" that no one really cares about having.  But let's not mistake, I'm all for her full and complete catalog (including every remix and edit) to be available, but it's just not gonna happen.  At the end of the day, it's nice to know some of these rarities are only available on the physical releases. 

Who hurt you all so bad to hate "One More Chance" that much?
It's pure emotion. And the single release was worth it even if it was just for the beautiful cover:
