Here's a link: *http://tinyurl.com/8lqqxz2 ***Amazon is selling the 11 CD Madonna collection for $45 and change (USD). *That sounded like a good deal until I read some of the fan feedback. Apparently the original price was $80. None of the preparation for the box went into remastering. There are no b-sides. No booklets. No lyrics. Just 11 CDs in 11 picture sleeves, in a small box. So, we're not likely to get interesting stuff like the Quad versions that have been shared this week. (Thanks, Simon.) Probably no new revelations like the remix of "Paprika Plains". I don't have any inside information; I'm just going by Madonna's collection. If the new collection doesn't measure up to Joni's normal standards, but it brings new people in, it's a good thing. We old timers will still have our giant LP sleeves and lyrics. *Jim L'Hommedieu P.S. *I want a DVD or Blu-Ray of the Pink Dress concert, or the first night at Carnegie Hall.* ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2012 #1411 ****************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
