karbatal Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 At people baffled at cassettes, as if vinyls and CDs were so necessary nowadays
Creepy Insane Person Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 Ordered the cassette from JB Hi Fi. May pick up the other formats instore when released.
Creepy Insane Person Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 The picture disc looks very tempting. Wished it had Madonna’s pic rather than just the flag and Black
the-queen Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 Anyone spotted Madame X posters in shops yet? I want to put my name on some!

horn Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 I'm just trying and wanting to help whatever I can to push her Madame X to #1 spot which she had missed it during RH era.

So I’m kind of enjoying this revival of poor sound quality and having to press forward/rewind to find your favorite track. I’m definitely getting this one too. I can relate to this so much. Cassettes bring back a feeling of Madonna nostalgia from my childhood.

Back here in Finland they did a scientific study on cassettes and what they used to mean to people. The researchers asked people to send personal stories on cassettes. So I sent one where I write about Easter 1989 and driving to the nearest city with my parents (in our horrible old car) just to buy the Like a Prayer album on cassette. I still remember the excitement when I got home, smelled the patchouli and started playing the tape with my yellow double deck player. I guess it’s memories like these the marketing people are riding on now, trying to sell us cassettes again. Well, I certainly can’t seem to avoid the temptation.

They absolutely mean a lot to me. I'm even getting a cassette tattoo this summer! It was the first format of music I discovered as a young boy and will always have a piece of my heart.

Guest Katypatra Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 So I guess there is no way to buy the box set from USA? And why isn’t it available in the official store?

I believe so — as an import, but, yes, supposedly you can order it from the US store.

humanracin Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 I only buy physical products that I love and use, I would never buy something just to sit on a shelf or put in a box. I will buy 1 vinyl version to play at home. It’s near impossible to scratch records, most faults and jumps happen in the manufacturing process. It may sound cliche but Vinyl sounds the best, especially through a good surround sound system. And I’ll buy 1 CD for the bonus tracks to play at home and in my car.
