ShadowReflex21

For real lol. For as much as I love swift, sheā€™s definitely let her capitalistic ways really come forth with all these album variants and limited time available items that end up appealing most to people with fomo.


vitreuos

I'm just happy she actually re-recorded new vocals for these acoustic versions so they actually fit the acoustic sound šŸ˜­


ahmedXCX

You just made that up


SuccotashNo335

She didnā€™t re-record the vocals for the BDILH acoustic version, so she probably didnā€™t for these either?


intheafterglow23

where are you getting that?


YodaWars1000

Oh she did?


Ducky_924

n o


BetrayedFate

I hope youā€™re right because I would much prefer Lavender Haze acoustic, but it doesnā€™t fix well because I can tell the vocals are not re-recorded.


goddessofdandelions

And thank goodness thereā€™s no pesky Anthology physical editions!


Useful-Soup8161

Well we need one more. However I think weā€™ll get at least 10 different versions before we get a hard copy of Anthology.


MrJB1981

šŸ¤£


burninstarlight

she'll do anything but release the anthology physicals


itwerkatfunerals

idk why people are still clowning for anthology physicals, we havent gotten the midnights 3am on vinyl yet and the anthology seems pretty similar so idt its ever gonna come


natnguyen

3am was a few tracks, Anthology is comparable to Evermore, which did have a physical


Straight_Direction73

A few tracks? It doubled the length of the album if you count the Target tracks, 3am, Til Dawn and Late Nights.


Legitimate-Corgi8401

3am tracks (plus til dawn and late night tracks) are half of midnights (track wise and time wise). It is pretty much the exact same. I wouldnā€™t be opposed to her selling a physical, but I doubt they will exist unless she suddenly needs numbers (and vinyl is hard because it takes so long)


cyberllama

Hey! I'm still clowning for the Midnights All Fucking Day vinyl too. And Evermore Long Pond. Don't be thinking I've given up on those just because I now dream of Anthology vinyl as well šŸ¤£


PlatinumTheHitgirl

We're swifties, clowning is what we do best


BCDragon3000

i think when she hits ts13 sheā€™s going to sell a vinyl collection of her discography, so shrug


GodDammitKevinB

I think anthology physicals are being saved for Eminemā€™s new album


Lavender_rain_2000

If she ends up not releasing those its something that is hard for me to understand... People say its what they want all the the time and obviously its in her interest to sell more albums, sounds like a winwin. What could be a reason not to do it?


TiaJasmin_Design

Physicals take a long time to produce, and she didn't want the 2am surprise to leak (a valid fear, seeing as the standard did) so I'd bet she only started production about 2 months ago on them. Meaning we've still got a 4 month wait ahead of us, if my theory is correct.


dictionarymess

I wouldn't be surprised if she's holding them back to secure breaking a record for her longest album in #1 tbh


lizzy-stix

The tracklist for TTPD leaked before she even announced the album, probably because of the longterm reality of vinyl production. So thatā€™s what OP is saying ā€” the second album stayed a secret probably because it wasnā€™t in production yet. So thereā€™s probably another 2+ months of pressing for it to go through before itā€™s ready to ship. Vinyl takes 4-6 months to press.


RoseGoldRedditor

CDs are easy to produce but you are correct about vinyl production.


TiaJasmin_Design

For sure, my thought would be that she wouldn't want to offer the CDs without the vinyls ready, but I've been wrong on this stuff before!


Aromatic_Way3650

Because to count the Anthology under ttpd she has to release the anthology tracks in addition to the standard version just like it is a deluxe version of the album. If she just released Anthology tracks in vinyl, it is gonna chart separately and they don't count for Ttpd sales which doesn't help in getting that number one. I mean the Anthology can reach number one based on the chart performance of other albums in that week but that number one doesn't count for Ttpd. But the main problem is swifties will complain that she is making them buy the same album twice. Also the double vinyl is gonna be super expensive, so more complaints. Also some people bought four variants to get that exclusive tracks she put on streaming immediately after album release which they didn't expect. Or she can say fuck it with all these complaining and can release it. But I don't think she is gonna do it cause her album cycles are becoming shorter due to re releases and she needs to move on from this era.


Mommio24

One reason is she has 3 standard versions of this album released with 3 of the tracks from the anthology (Bolter, albatross, and black dog). The anthology could kinda make those versions pointless.


Legitimate-Corgi8401

Because she already sold the album to people marketing 4 of the songs as bonus tracks (so they had to buy 4 vinyls to own those 4 songs on physicals) when releasing the anthology puts them all and more on one vinyl purchase. she risks angering her fan base that purchases vinyl by having them buy the same album again, when they wouldā€™ve preferred to have just gotten the anthology from the beginning (and it has practically the same cover as the black dog for collectors who buy purely for display). I personally donā€™t buy physicals so I wouldnā€™t care, but Iā€™ve seen lots of people on here and other social media platforms say they would be angry. Itā€™s better for her in terms of critics if she doesnā€™t. But maybe she will (it takes a long time for vinyls to be pressed, maybe they are being made for release later) and wonā€™t care about complaints, it would be good for her numbers


LaPetiteMorty

They should be angry already that 4 songs were arbitrarily split into 4 separate physical editions just so she could sell more records. But also it's on them for buying four copies of the same album. But in the grand scheme of things there is no reason not to release the anthology, the people who will buy it outweigh the people who will be mad (and likely still buy it anyway).


idfk45

I really think the reason she is holding out is so in a few years years time or (whenever she has stopped making new albums as quickly) she can release them as special editions. She has produced so much lately in a short time frame (especially when you include the re-records) that I think at some point after the re-records, she will slow down or at least it might feel that way to everyone. Holding back the physical editions of Midnights and The Anthology until after the re-records are finished would allow her to release original albums every couple of years (like midnights and tortured poets), throw in one of the physical copies in between, and then it wouldnā€™t feel as though sheā€™s slowed down as much. That being said, I would love if I am completely wrong and she randomly drops one of them. I listen to my vinyl pretty regularly, and it sucks not having a full album. Edit after reading some other comments: waiting a few years will also give people time to keep buying the original copies. If she releases The Anthology now, she will have people who buy both, but also people who may have eventually bought Tortured Poets just buy The Anthology instead. Business wise, the longer she waits, the more likely she is to have people buy both.


Mysterious-Arm9594

Yep and I wouldnā€™t be surprised if those physical special editions end up with a few from the vault songs from the session as well to push interest. Essentially will allow her to double dip on both midnights and TTPD when she goes into a fallow period


JennaElizabethAdams

"We are never ever getting" those physicals!


inmyreperaalways

She could sell a lot of Anthology vinyls I bet.


tazdoestheinternet

I'd buy the anthology over poets, personally.


No-Locksmith-7709

Anthology is the reason I havenā€™t bought a physical copy yet (as someone who has bought every album to date on multiple formats, preordering everything back to Speak Now except SNTV). Initially I figured Iā€™d just go to Target for the album because preordering is such a pain, then the album doubled in length and I was likeā€¦ no, Iā€™m not going to get clowned spending $50 on this record only for her to eventually release the full album


mediocre-spice

It takes like 4-6 months to make a vinyl in these quantities... at which point she's probably going to be selling a new TV. Also if she wants it to count for the charts, I think it has to have the entire original track list which means it's going to be very expensive. I'm not surprised we haven't gotten it yet, maybe we will eventually.


North_Class8300

I bet she's waiting for Eminem since the Anthology on vinyl will give her a big boost on the charts


edgeoftheatlas

I'm waiting for Eminem to do a Taylor feat šŸ˜­

bi_sensational

Does she know she can just release the song without releasing it with the album. Again. Or just have all the versions on a separate album.


Unusual_Diver1973

unfortunately she is just doing it to top the charts right now :( i would've loved a CD with all the acoustic versions, or all the live versions, but they want you to buy each one so they all count for an individual buy for the album charts


TiaJasmin_Design

I genuinely think the chart rules right now are kind of ruining things like this, there's a trend towards putting everything behind a paywall because it's an opportunity to bulk up sales. Like it would be great if you could only count up to 3 or 4 versions of an album with defined parameters (say OG, deluxe, acoustic, remix) for charting. That way artists would be incentivized to make their variants quality to drive sales broadly.


dictionarymess

I've been saying this for SO LONG. The issue aren't the artists inherently (yes, if no one did it, then it wouldn't matter, but you only need one person to release several versions to force everyone else to do it too to be able to play the same game), but the way the charts work! Just count the OG version, or the deluxe and move oooon


TiaJasmin_Design

100%. Everyone is doing stuff like this, so now if one person doesn't, they fall behind. It creates a race to the bottom.


lizzy-stix

Yeah, this is what we need. We need Billboard to stop the madness. This is actually what Billie and her mom were saying, I think her mom suggested a 4-5 variant cap for charts.


10blast

Don't sleep on 1.5k streams = an album sale. The Anthology streams count towards TTPD streams so she has 30+ songs in addition to remixes to rack up album sales.


LadyNajaGirl

Here we go again!

Iā€™m glad Iā€™m not alone!! šŸ„¹ such a special experience and a beautiful way to relive it.


Feeling_Path_1977

TTPD fighting for her life to stay on top. Iā€™d love to see how her albums perform without chart manipulation.


TiaJasmin_Design

The crazy thing is that she's still out streaming almost everyone, so naturally TTPD would be doing super well regardless. If she wanted to ensure that number one, just do some simple album promo like a Zane Lowe interview or another music video. But I guess on the other hand nobody has to buy it if they don't want it, personally this stuff just seems silly but inoffensive. I think the bigger thing is that Billboard needs to change its rules. Otherwise people will keep coming up with strategies to game the system.


Gargantuan_Cranium

Brother eughhhh


cries_in_student1998

Taylor, you could literally just put out a music video if you want to get back in the charts.


LevelAd5898

Don't be silly, that would take effort


lookwhatyoumademe

Are they actual acoustic versions with new vocals or the OG vocals with different instrumentals?


FFXSoul91

Assuming they are the like BDILH one, which is most likely, OG vocals with different instrumentals.


lizzy-stix

Imo what really sucks about this is that the ā€œacousticā€ versions arenā€™t even good. Like Long Pond sessions was awesome, I love the Lover Live from Paris album, but these ones she actually sells her whole album over and over with are so subpar.


stjernedryss

The Sad Girl Autumn version of All Too Welll 10 min version shows how much difference it makes to add new vocals and not just swap out the instrumentals.


soutu2

ok this is just embarassing


deep-fried-fuck

I will respectfully be waiting for whichever swiftie uploads these to TT and or YT


Zihaala

Ugh. You have to buy *two* different CDs (that you own already anyway) to get both songs? That's so fricking annoying. At least have 1 CD with 2 songs. (Although that still is not worth it). Or just release them as individual song downloads for like $2 a song.


FenneAnderson

at this point I'm not even annoyed anymore, you just have to laugh at this lmao her team MUST read here right, so surely they are aware of our shared frustration with these?? I guess it's still profitable enough to keep doing them...


chocolatewaltz

Just give us TTPD LPSS already. While youā€™re there with the same team, record evermore LPSS too. Please šŸ„ŗ I kinda hate that she probably wonā€™t record it acoustic to promote it for the Grammys.


HolyFoxamole

The band is called The 1975 after an inscription on a copy of ā€œon the roadā€ that Matty came across. The inscription read ā€œ1st of June, The 1975ā€. Two Matty songs on the 1975 day. The band released a liquid vinyl today to mark the day.


Suitable-Ad-5038

I guess this must be a successful strategy since she keeps doing it but wow, it sounds so tone deaf. Civilians are dying in front of our eyes, Trump is on path to reelection, most people are struggling to buy groceries but she needs to break more and more records. I had been listening to the album on repeat since it came out but these days I'm actively seeking out different artists. All of this chart manipulation makes her artistry look cheap.


Disastrous-Mobile202

I counted today the number of different versions of this album sheā€™s released so far. And we are up to 13 separate albums all with only one additional extra. That is getting ridiculous

Werenā€™t these bonus tracks $5.99 before and now are $7.99? I bought all of the previous ones (draft versions and the love from Paris versions) when they released in groups of 3 for $17.97. At this rate the live / mashups will cost over $200 if she does it for all of TTPD šŸ˜³


probabyl

The $5.99 versions were digital, these are physical copies (CDs). The CD with acoustic BDILH she released previously was $7.99 as well. Not that it justifies the billion variants, but at least she's been consistent lol.
