Well actually the press release said soundtracks were part of the reissue project. I think the best thing should be a collection of all her soundtracks songs with maybe the unreleased from Vision Quest etc.

Crazy For You
Gambler
Warning Signs (unreleased)
Into The Groove
Desperately Seeking Susan (Unreleased)
Live To Tell
Who’s That Girl
Causing A Commotion
The Look Of Love
Can’t Stop
Dick Tracy (written by Leonard. Who knows if it was recorded though).
This Used To Be My Playground
I’ll Remember
You Must Love Me
Beautiful Stranger
American Pie
Time Stood Still
Die Another Day
Masterpiece

+Remixes and alternate versions like the full version of Beautiful Stranger.

Soundtracks to Remember. I love this idea too. It's such a nice collection of songs that kinda work like an alternative greatest hits. (Maybe would only need some shuffling around to ease out that Who's That Girl section and avoid opening with a ballad)

Seeing this list also makes me think where stuff like I Want You, You'll See / Verás and One More Chance would fit in her reissue campaign. In case the soundtrack album doesn't happen, I would love to see Something To Remember remastered as it compiled many soundtrack songs + these exclusives.

@AshtrayHeart @boy toy Oh I see! I didn't know they did Atmos albums on physical, I thought it was only other multichannel mixes. Thanks for correcting me. That'd be great if they did that with Madonna's re issues, the pessimistic side of me is expecting like a million different colour cassettes, but I'd love to be positively surprised. I didn't know about the 5.1 audio remasters project that @mindtrappa mentioned, what happened?

There was a career spanning boxset announced for her 20th anniversary in 2003. Her entire catalog was digitized and remastered in 5.1 surround audio by Stuart Price and meant to be released on DVD-A format, which would also include her music videos. A new remix album was planned, along with a rarities album (this is how "Your Honesty" was discovered), and all her tours to date finally on DVD. Warner pushed it back a few times, and we got Remixed and Revisited instead to make up for it being pushed back. I think it was finally cancelled altogether in 2005, I assume because of cost.

The last I read Warner and Madonna couldn't come to an agreement how much of a income split there would be from it. 20 years ago is a completely different era in backcatologue marketing, so Madonna holding out so long has probably been a fairly canny decision for her.

There were probably many factors for why it didn't come to fruition. I wouldn't be surprised if part of it was cost, then also the fact that Caresse Henry, Madonna's manager at the time who was the one heading the project, quit. And then we had Warner and Maverick suing each other. Just kind of a mess of events.

Either way, sucks we didn't get it then. But hopefully these deluxe reissues can build on what they were already doing.

I’ve seen you post this a dozen times, but everytime I read it, it still hurts.

That is so depressing. I know the DVD-As were kind of a niche product but they were great.

Bjork and Talking Heads had the CD/DVDs and they were very, very nice.

The albums on DVD-Audio would be fantastic, but at this point I just want anything at all to happen with the deluxe editions. It feels like eternity since the deal was announced and while we did get Finally Enough Love and some cool vinyl releases I am more than ready for the first deluxe album to arrive.

I have been street teaming for Madonna to up her certifications and while I gladly accept The Immaculate Collection's re-up, she has a few albums ready to go!

Confessions is eligible for 2xP

Hard Candy is eligible for Platinum.

Like A Virgin is ready for 11x Platinum

True Blue 8xP

Like A Prayer 5xP

Rebel Heart is so close to squeaking to gold and Ray Of Light is so close to 5xP. And I'm not even getting into her singles yet!

Is this UK or US? UK albums are certified automatically now when they cross sales thresholds.

The new Dolby Atmos mix for IC has re-reminded me about how on streaming Borderline and Lucky Star are the wrong versions compared to the actual Q-sound remixes/edits created for for the album. (Lucky Star is the "New/US remix" and Borderline is the original album version). Does anyone know why it was released digitally like that, was it a mistake that stuck or an intentional decision? Just feels sloppy considering the whole album was originally conceived as fresh mixes of all the old songs, to have two older (much longer) versions on there.

(I've edited it on Apple Music so I've still got rips of the old ones there because nerd but it's still annoying)
