So . . . remasters of Madonna, Like A Virgin and True Blue (and other Madonna albums?) streeted back in May.
So who else is vexed in their purchasing decisions on these remasters by the possibility of DVD-Audio releases of Madonna's catalog? Why the heck wasn't/isn't there a Music DVD-A, dammit?
Not unlike the situation regarding Sony's recent release of Michael Jackson remasters, the existing SACD of Thriller and the lack (so far) of an SACD of Invincible, these Madonna remasters raise some questions regarding Warner's DVD-Audio stance.
It seems to me that these companies are milking the cash cow that is the catalog of some of their most successful artists by releasing standard CD remasters at this late stage, instead of re-issues on their respective hi res formats.
I'd like to hear some comparative sound quality comments regarding the Madonna remasters. Anyone?
I'd also like to hear ruminations of others about what to buy/do on this. For instance, how long do you think you'll wait for DVD-A and SACD releases of your fave albums when "Red Book" remasters are being released?
Finally, has anyone heard any rumblings about Madonna DVD-A releases?
Wondering if I'll eBay my DCC copy of Hotel California when the DVD-A streets,
