    Polydor is a British record label and company, that operates as part of Universal Music Group. It has a close relationship with Universal's Interscope Geffen A&M Records label, which distributes Polydor's releases in the United States. In turn, Polydor distributes Interscope releases in the United Kingdom. Polydor Records Ltd. was established in London in 1954 as a British subsidiary of German company Deutsche Grammophon GmbH. It was renamed Polydor Ltd. in 1972.

    I guess they also distribute in the Europe as well? :dazed: 

    Polydor UK is a local label who is a distributor for other Universal releases and nothing more. They should not put it as a label on sites as it only distributes other labels unless the artist is signed directly to Polydor. 

  2. She looks great but I would have liked a different hairstyle for this new era. This looks very similar to the same style as Rebel Heart. I would have preferred more eye makeup, not a big fan of the nude eye on a more mature woman but this is just me being persnickety!

    The previous thread was closed amidst the excitement of the Medellín premiere. Let's continue our discussion of the stunning album art Madonna is serving us for Madame X. What do you think? Which cover do you prefer? Is the deluxe a nod to Rosie the Riveter? Is it a Baroque-style masterpiece? Is the standard cover Madonna's tribute to Frida Kahlo, with her name strategically placed between the brows? And who else is in love with the third cover, with its mysterious turquoise overtone?

    Discuss! How does the Madame X art stack up to her previous album visuals?

    I love them all but my only bugbear is the inconsistency in the design. The Deluxe and hardback correlate with the Madame X typography, the standard version is the one I have a problem with. Some are saying the placement of her name is a nod to Frida but it just looks terrible. This version would have looked great without her name or at least to have used the Madame X font to show that versions are linked. It's a cheap font, badly placed and is a bad choice for the standard which will be widely available in the UK in supermarkets where most people buy CDs.  This happened with Rebel Heart, it was widely promoted with the wire visual then the version available was the tattoo "nice version".

    If it was me the Frida version would have been a vinyl only release. I would have the blonde version as both standard and deluxe with a slight difference in design. The Hardback Deluxe is great the way it is.

    This version is just perfect

    Obviously I don't have the Madame X font but using that one would have been better in my opinion

    Love it! I hope this cover is the standard and the stitched lips one is the vinyl. In the UK most people buy their physical copies in supermarkets who only carry the standard versions of releases. I can't see them rushing to stock an album cover with her lips sown up. I'm loving everything about this era!!!!!
