Apples388 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Looks like it's all a load of bull. The Examiner (bullshit central) recently said that LAP was to be reissued but Warner denied it. The latest rumour on Facebook now is that Something to Remember will be reissued in September. OH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crux Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Typical of STR getting reissued. That's the one I couldn't give a shit about. We need to have LAP remastered in all it's glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensch Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 STR is amazing but what's the deal with a reissue? Why would it excite fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promise to try Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 STR is amazing but what's the deal with a reissue? Why would it excite fans? I guess they think some people will buy the vinyls, because they "only have" the cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonoka Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 STR needs remastering. No. Today's albums are mastered way too loud and have less dynamic, STR sounds better than Hard Candy or MDNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluejean Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 It doesn't need anything. But I'd like all the studio albums to be rereleased and remastered with bonus stuff. It's about time. And why not do You Can Dance, The Immaculate Collection and STR too. Maybe give GHV2 a miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crux Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 The Immaculate Collection THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonski43 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 STR and BS are incredibly rare on vinyl so they actually will be of interest to vinyl fans. However, really all Warner are doing is trying to cash in by doing the least amount of work possible hence the crappy box sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bluejean Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I think it's because Madonna herself doesn't want nor allow those types of releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb19 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I think it's because Madonna herself doesn't want nor allow those types of releases. I get the impression it's because she feels like if she's going to do it, she would want to be involved completely, but she simply doesn't have the time because she views her current projects as more important.

luluthecat Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I'll definately be buying STR on vinyl, it's the only M LP missing in my collection and I adore the cover! However if the artwork quality is anything like those god-awful "my mums got a scanner lets just scan them really big with the incorrect .dpi setting - that'll work" quality - Warner can shove it up their arse!!!!

CMoody Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Why did WBR stop the remaster re-issues from 2001 w/ True Blue? Certainly her catalog at least up until LAP deserved an official remaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMads Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 this is good news been desperate for something to remember on vinyl for years and its always so expensive I need bedtime stories and something on vinyl to complete albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure. She has no qualms letting S&S be edited with very little input from her. I don't think its time, I think its just lack of interest in rehashing old projects. Its the same reason we haven't seen TVT, BAT and RIT released on DVD. There are so many things they could have done. A boxset of all her singles on CD (like The Beatles has.) They had that Japanese one, they could have done something like for the US or UK releases. Or a boxset with rarities, unreleased material, remixes etc. All these things are unlikely now that CD's are gradually disappearing. Maybe they'll release all her singles digitally, that would be a cool thing to do for newer fans. I mean the amount of stuff they could put out there on digital release. But I quite honestly think Warner don't have the masters anymore to actually remaster any of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Well a 20th anniversary box set was in the works (all the albums remastered) but it was scrapped. So you can't really say Madonna doesn't want these kind of releases. Especially since Stuart Price was behind the remastering. He's had access to all the masters of her catalog since DWT Kevin Reagan even did work on the packaging I just don't think M's team is focused on this kind of release right now. If anything they are waiting to do it at a certain time Prob till her current contract is complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMoody Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Maybe sales weren't great? Far less popular artists have their classic releases remastered and re-released all the time so I wouldn't imagine that it was a sales-related issue. Perhaps they only wanted to remaster the first three releases. Many times the remasters are quite extraordinary with a ton of unreleased tracks, photos, videos, etc. I can only imagine the re-mastered, re-releases that we will eventually see in years to come. Madonna may be not too keen on previous projects, but she is missing a fine little sales nugget if she approved dome of the high quality, well planned and executed releases that are done for legendary artists these days.

jonski43 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I don't there is a market at the moment. How much would time and money would it take to put it all together and for what returns? The money's in the touring as we know now. It's highly unusual that an artist is successful for thirty years. Many bands / artists that have had box sets are normally no longer together or had a long hiatus in their careers. I don't think any of this stuff will properly see light of day until ten years after she's finished. That seems to be the normal amount of time it takes for a band to finish and then be appreciated. There was a Beatles revival at the beginning of the 80s in the UK. It was ten years from Abba no longer recording until the Gold album came out. Take That need ten years away too.
