It was also posted on X - it was just insta that didn't - I'd say that when they announce the actual release it'll be on insta also. 

 

Was it I never seem it on X

I think we'll be getting Bedtime Stories in the version she originally intended. With this Paolo Roversi cover and this song order:

A

1. Human Nature

2. I'd Rather Be Your Lover (feat. 2Pac)

3. Secret

4. Don't Stop

5. Survival

6. Take A Bow

 

B

1. Forbidden Love

2. Inside Of Me

3. Love Tried To Welcome Me

4. Sanctuary

5. Bedtime Story

Was this a first track list of the album? I never saw this?

I think the tease was meant to be posted on all her social media (ie Instagram too) but was cancelled last minute due to her graveyard pics, and they forgot about Facebook. There's no other logical reason they'd only post on Facebook.

So I'd say we're way off an announcement. First she has to post the tease on Instagram and build some hype. No one knows this happened outside of hardcore stans.

Madonna is clearly in charge of what goes on her Instagram. Facebook and X are run by her (lack of) Team.

I made the track list up. It's how I listen to the album because it flows better.

The cover is confirmed I think in the 1999 issue of Aperture magazine interview.

[Impressive Instant 2,197]

Gosh, I think it's perfect the album opening with Survival and closing with Take a Bow.

Try this version from start to finish and let me know what you think. The released version is a bit of a mess with like 77 genres mixed together with no flow

I can give it a try. I understand you separated Side A and B in a more cohesive way. But I think the official tracklist was made in that order, so the general public wouldn't sleep in the middle of it

I wouldn’t be so sure. It’s nice to think that M would put these sets together “just for the fans”, but at the same time, Warner Bros and Rhino records will want to make a profit from these releases, so will be aimed at the general public along with the hardcores. Hence the Marketing campaign, starting with M’s teaser. I’ll be surprised if nothing is announced this week. 

I don't know honestly ... you say Warner is thinking to make a profit on the reissue of a 30 years old, middle succesful album at its time, aiming to the general public and not to hardcore fans. I neither see a proper marketing campaign coming honestly, I much more easily imagine it as a small thing, making reasonable profits on hardcore fans, as this kind of operations usually does (no recording costs, no photographic costs, no promo costs, just the production and distribution of the phisical items). 

Anyway, we neither know exactly what we're talking about yet and the green, the pink and the light blue blankets still say hi from the corner of ever word we'll be writing at the moment

On the contrary, the official middle part is kind of dull I think. And I personally would never in the right mind put Bedtime Story and Take a Bow next to each other, which made me think the real track list was tempered with. I personally think she would have wanted to start strong and tell everybody what she thinks with Human Nature, and then have each genre slowly morph into the next- similarly to what she did on Ray of Light. The official track list just jumps from one genre to the next. She even said at one point it was a "nightmare experience" putting them together

Yep! I see this more like the Silver Vinyls and American Life Mix Show, the MXT digital and Vinyl release.  It will be pushed much like the other anniversary merchandise.  Madonna will make a blurb about it on social media with it's finally released.  Her official store will send out notifications who are on their mailing lists, but I don't see it being some huge release like if it was a new album or even on the same level of how Finally Enough Love was promoted.  It's going to be aimed at the hardcore fans as those are the ones who are going to snatch it up!

It's a way to put it. I'm gonna try your way. I always have fun trying to imagine different tracklists to MDNA and Rebel Heart, lol

What I care anyway is just that she is including the early unreleased versions of the two songs that made the album, all the rest, fine as they want it to be for me, no problem at all

I'm not sure I'm following?  I'm not aware of a tracklist that has been officially mentioned.  Right now, we're still speculating if there is even anything more than pillows, shot glasses and panties. LOL!

Those too! They both need some serious rethinking

Yeah yeah, of course. I wrote the same thing in one of my previous posts. That's why I wrote "what I care is just that ...", meaning that this is the only important thing for me. If she releases blankets or a remastered album with a new colour or new pics I'm not buying it at all. I don't collect, I never did (I even sold my Sex book original copy, I'm the worst about this ) ... I just love her music, creativity and performance, you know what I mean?

The most likely outcome is we never hear anything about it again. I still miss Liz 

If they do ever release anything there should be no tease or promo, just the surprise release. They change their minds too often to have any credibility on release announcements

So you're just hoping for something new then just a re-issue of the same album?  I get that. I'll be happy if it's the rumored EP that was said to be released on RSD.  I'm not into any of the merchandise like shirts, pillows and such.  Though I did buy that LAP t-shirt and that looks fantastic.

Sorry but I need to say it loud... I am so, sooo tired of her marketing strategy at this point. All these stupid teasers of possible future announcements, it is completely annoying.

Girl, if you have something just announce it and that's it! We are living in 2024, life is too short, nobody's got time for this crap anymore.

Is it really so difficult to announce "this and this" is coming on "this and that" date, order here, is it?

Instead we are getting nothing and useless teasers like "something is coming over..." with no info (and then we might get absolutely nothing as when "specially curated expanded reissues" were announced.. Or that "something" being an empty vinyl sleeve) 

I am not sure who is behind her marketing these days, but it is doing absolutely nothing to general public and I would say it is also doing absolutely nothing for most of her fans. We are just tired after waiting 5 years for something new. If you have something, simply announce it!

exactly - well said - 3 years later and we are still being teased to the point of it now being psychotic - i appreciate M has had a lot of stress the last year with health and family tragedies but enough is enough now with this - in the meantime fans are losing it because they cant get die another day dirty vegas dub on their phone ???

I disagree. I never care for Take a Bow. so being at the end it was perfect because I stopped the album after Bedtime Story :D

The problem is not the teasing per se, a lot of artists use that but on a good way. She thinks that 'soon' can be a year and a half, and that's when the problem starts. By the time that she has to release something, everyone forgot it, or we are tired. It happened with everything that she released after Hard Candy and it's a big part of her disconnecting with the general public. 

Luckily for fans, Rebel Heart leaked and accelerated the things, but if not... she could be working on it and changing every demo 60 million times and the album would be released in the end of 2015 or even further. 

On the live side of things, appearing 1 hour and half late, even on TV in Rio, and keeping people waiting, make everyone angry and TIRED. Some minutes is elegant, half an hour is diva but still elegant. BUT NOT 2 fcking hours or more.
