Has this been cancelled? I was intending to get it, but it's since been removed from HMV and is listed as "sold out" by Play and Amazon, despite listing it as for release on 12th December.
Can anyone shed some light?

Disappeared off Amazon I think.
Damn- I really wanted that booklet thingy. Pictures for this album have been the best of her career I think.

According to the fans - it's apparently selling out all over the place. I don't wanna risk it being posted .... but I sure as hell don't wanna miss out on one of her best ever looking albums! What to do?  |

The reason it's dissapearing from all the online stores is that they have taken all the orders for the stock they are getting. It hasnt been cancelled.
How many they're actually getting for instore sales I don't know...
I want to know if its the mixed or unmixed album that's on itunes and if the extra track is actually a weblink to a download...

I would like to know ONE person who actually has this. I don't think it's been released. I checked 3 stores in America and could not find it. no one is reviewing it and - most tellingly - Fighting Spirit has not leaked. (and if you think it has, people are putting Revenge out there as Fighting Spirit).

Why is it a risk to get it posted?

Does it come in a cardboard presentation case/folder/box/whatever?
They are usually battered about in the mail, id rather get mine from a shop.

Fighting Spirit is not. too. great. by the way. Sounds like a spruced up demo. Still, fans will want it!

My special edition has just came in today's post from ebay and it is in immaculate condition, fully sealed, pristine corners and not bashed about in the slightest!
And their was I thinking that ebay was a bigger risk than amazon!

Their are 21 photos in total (some over 1 page, some over 2 pages with the spine in the middle). I do not have the ordinary version so I don't know how many are in that, but they are ALL from the same photo shoot as the standard album/ single jewelcase covers!
This is interspersed with a few words from madonna on the other pages, that together form a single quote (VERY short story) about a woman collapsing on a dancefloor (Madonna, naturally) and the views of onlookers about why she is their, has she been stood up, did she come to dance for an imaginary audience etc. It is literally only about 20 words long!
I don't want to open the pages fully to view the pictures in case the spine gets damaged!
The diary is basically just plain basic white note paper (no lines, nothing to indicate it actually IS a diary) more a book for confessions, hence the dictionary definition of "confession" on the inside page.
The supposed "entries" from madonna are just a line from Like it or Not about the reader being a welcome snake to Madonna's Garden, and to feel free to eat the fruit before it dies and how the reader WILL love her more and more as time goes by! It is meant to look like madonna wrote it with a pen, but then again so are the signature's (usually) from junk mail letters!
It has (basically) the same cover as the picture book, only the inside pages of this are ordinary note paper as opposed to thick glossy paper!
Fighting Spirit does NOT sound like a demo, it is actually quite an OK song in it's own right!

Fighting Spirit sounds very under produced though. Which makes a change. The song is too short in my opinion.
Am feeling very conned seeing as the rest of the album is the standard mixed version. Evil Warners.

I dont think Fighting spirit sounds like a demo either - it sounds really good and is better than some of teh album tracks.
I think its the best limited edition she has put out since the immaculate collection box set.

They had plenty of them in Virgin and HMV just now. I really like "Fighting Spirit". I can't remember the last time a piano featured on a Madonna song!

A local store still has quite a few (I stopped counting at 20) and they're not exactly flying off the shelves here. I suspect Warner International could release more copies having said this was a "special" edition, not a "limited" edition. |

I won't be happy until I am able to make my own (in my opinion) complete version, consisting of:
13, Fighting Spirit
14, Superpop
15, Imagine (live)
I realise some people may disagree!

Just got mine. There were 3 left in Oxofrd St's Virgin and a very excited fellow-gay snapped one up as I was doing so. As i was at the counter i heard the workers say things along the lines off "wow we have sold lots-sold out-Well Its Madonna ect..."
I love Fighting Spirit

If anyone is not able to get their hands on one of these, HMV.COM.AU still has stock, quite reasonable, (with the AUS$ exchange) and they're reliable shippers.
No, I'm not an employee.
