deathproof 11,185 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 2 hours ago, Prayer said: This is correct. Seymour Stein talks about it here (he talks about 3 singles, not 2, though): https://variety.com/2018/biz/news/how-i-met-madonna-by-seymour-stein-the-man-who-signed-her-book-excerpt-1202846755/ Mid-1982 (May-June-July 1982?): The deal we agreed to was modest: Madonna would get an advance of $15,000 per single, for a total of three singles, with an option for an album. On top of that, there was an additional publishing deal by which she’d get a $2,500 advance for every song she wrote. It's true that "Ain't No Big Deal" was the song that got her the contract, it was going to be the first single, but they were not satisfied with the production when they got into the official proper studio recording. That's why they went with "Everybody". So maybe Stein talking about 3 singles is: "Ain't No Big Deal", "Everybody", "Burning Up" or the double A-side "Burning Up/Physical Attraction" was considered 2 singles. But surely the workings of this deal changed in the process, as she was given the green light to work on the album before the 2nd single is released DoneGone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She must have felt like she hit the jackpot.

Six months is not #soon, and that's why people are moaning about it. I am, however, very excited about Madonna's return to RSD, and this maxi-single. Like I said... somewhere: They'll hopefully announce something exciting after RSD. A Super Deluxe Edition or something yummie like that.

drunkby6 517 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I'd much prefer Madonna to have stuck to her word and rushed all the deluxe editions out. We could be all be enjoying the missed opportunities and authoring problems now! schumakg86, Starchild, PanditaRulez and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that booking vinyl warehouses in advance are essential so for all we know they're working on the first reissue right now for later this year.

drunkby6 517 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I'd expect that the details and mock up photos of the first sets will be announced when the pre-orders go live, about 2 months before release date so they can do the relevant promo. There's a hell of a lot of releases to be covered in 3 years so once it starts it's going to be relentless. We already know that MDNA, Rebel Heart and Madame X all join the ranks at the end of the three years so that makes me suspect they might go with multiple releases at a time. Deluxe editions of Madonna, Like A Virgin and True Blue would be my launch line up prediction. Starchild 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point we can’t really expect pro have one of these in our hands earlier than august. And comprehensive box sets like most of us hope for are being released one at the time one or two a year. Since most people won’t spend hundreds of $$$ on multiple back to back. Unless they decide to group a few albums in one box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkby6 517 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Where do people keep getting the idea these will start in August, the blurb from the announcement literally says "to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Everybody", that's October.

DoneGone 16,709 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Guys... the word “soon” is used on every press release when there isn’t a concrete date, it doesn’t really mean anything but “it’s coming”. I understand we all want an announcement though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkby6 517 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I think we'll get the 50#1s compilation in whatever format that takes and that'll be the lead up to the deluxe editions. As for price, fans will pay what they want to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true, and we are going with the October first release, we should be having an announcement between now and june which is strange since the remix project and the first re-release would be both within 6 months To me it all feels weird . I thought the frozen remixes would kickstart the remix compilation campaign which it obviously didn’t (unless the swae lee remix is used for that) I don’t know. The dates don’t add up IMO. Maybe something happened and something got delayed and messed up the release chrono. Or maybe I’m not seeing something and hopefully it will all make sense #soon Edited April 18, 2022 by Diieeego (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
