I just realised in two years it's been TWENTY YEARS since Confessions, I'm absolutely perched to see what she comes up with for that!
The original album is absolutely flawless but there must be some unreleased material in the vaults.

I hate you for this reminder.
I hate myself for it too I actually gasped out loud at the realisation
This is fucking demonic oh my GOD
Excuse me?
Can someone delete this page thanks.
Jump is still the one for me from Confessions, closely followed by Future Lovers.
The Get Together demo is actually amazing? And there is the stuff she did with Mirwais too. The whole Hello Sucker stuff etc. There is tons of material from Confessions.
I dunno, the released version is close to perfection for me so the demo is just so jarring. If she decides to give us spruced up studio versions of Confessions Tour tracks then that's almost enough for me.
Strictly speaking, not Confessions… but I’d love a spruced up studio version of You Thrill Me. It’s a real gem.
Agreed , much better than the released version.
History (Land of the Free) is also much better than that watered down b-side version they released on the Jump single
When the Bedtime Stories rumors (Rhino tweeting the limited velvet edition, the Instagram filter dd) popped up, I had a quick idea/thought that it could probably be the era with most material in the vaults and that we are unaware.
More “cult-following” albums like Confessions, Ray Of Light and Erotica all had full demo tapes leaked through the years with Demos and Unreleaseds. The 80s also had a different approach it seems and there’s not a lot of “outtakes” since everything happened quicker (not saying there’s not 2 or 3 unused songs that we might not be aware, but still).
But then from like Bedtime Stories we have only stuff that was officially put out outside the album (Freedom, Let Down Your Guard (which is labeled as a rough demo), Your Honesty (2004!!), then the Tupac leak of I’d Rather…. and I think there’s a Survival “demo instrumental” without any vocal. We know she had early sessions for the album, there’s iconic things like “Something’s Coming Over” and there’s probably more that we don’t know…
Short Story: would absolutely love if Bedtime Stories was the first reissue with loads of material to get people’s attention. It feels special to have a fully expanded edition of such low key gem.
