erotica blu Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I sort of want the Frida cover but it excludes my precious Extreme Occident which is the centerpiece of the album to me.
sul8323 Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 My favorite is the other omission. Looking for Mercy. I would have skipped the standard version but the cover. Mmmmmmmm mmmmmmm mmmmmm. Breathtaking.

Barbie Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 It's very easy to edit the cover to your liking using the program mp3tag. It also tags m4a/iTunes files with no problem. Change the cover to whatever the hell you want it to be. Simple.
Shane Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I bought both in cd format for the covers, but I find the standard utterly pointless as an album and will never listen to it. I hate thinking of people buying it at Walmart, Barnes & Nobel, or an independent music store and not having a clue that they are missing two absolute gems, unless of course they stream. The standard should have included EO and LFM, then the blonde cover Target exclusive could have featured Funana and Ciao Bella as extras. EO and LFM are career highlights and deserve to be heard by everyone.
LHakaLH Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I’ve heard of a “Les Mis” cover and now you’re talking about the “Frida” cover; can anyone tell me which is which? If you ask me, this should’ve been the only cover; without the MADONNA. As for the editions issue, I agree it’s pointless to release 3 different ones. The boxset stuff should be something special. Not just something anyone can access, like that Rebel Heart VIP hardcover book edition, which was limited.
Bigger Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Not a mistake, because she got me to buy all three (the two plus the one with the extra 3 songs).
boy skeffington Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Anything can be a “mistake” if you are looking to label things right/wrong, etc. Must be so exhausting for folks looking at life that way. Excited for the different covers and seems that the Deluxe editions of MDNA, RH and MX are Madonna’s vision for the albums.

Agree that the deluxe editions seem to be her authentic vision for the albums, especially in the case of Rebel Heart and Madame X.
Ai Papi Si. Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 The standard blew me away when I first saw it, still does. I think it may be my favorite album cover ever. The multitude of homages and references in what appears to be a very simple picture of her face. She is such a strong visual artist.
Shane Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 The standard is not on Spotify. Is it on other streaming platforms? Does anyone remember whether the standard version of Rebel Heart was initially on streaming services? It no longer is. I know both versions of MDNA used to be on Spotify, but now it’s only the deluxe (and the Nightlife edition).
Steve Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Standard was initially on ITunes but waiting for the redeemed tix voucher copy in mail.
HolidayGuy Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 ^The standard was on iTunes- it was ranked in the top 10 initially, and then swiftly made its way don the charts. It's not there any longer? Still can't get over how the standard edition of RH lacked the title track.
smeowly Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 i find it strange that the vinyl cover is the same as the standard cover, but the vinyl includes mercy and occident
humanracin Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Yep I have no need for the regular CD as it omits my 2 favourite songs. luckily I get that gorgeous artwork on the vinyl
Guest juliebean Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 I bought both Target Deluxe and Standard the booklets have different pics.

tuckeye Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Standard is never a mistake the travesty now is that there is no ep added onto Madame X soon.
Ghost Town Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Standard cover is stunning. I'm pleased the vinyl used the Frida cover. We rarely get album artwork with dark hair.

And yes you may quote me.

acko Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 I need the font tbh...but that cover needs 2 b seen on Vinyl. It's one of the great classic sleeves imo.
