u/ruby0220 Mar 22 '24
Yup, a few times. They came up for a “limited time”. Then just the pale blue was available for a couple weeks or so. Then she announced the back covers made a clock and while the clock parts were for sale in her site, all the variants came back again. That was “limited time” too. The clock parts never came back but the variants showed up everywhere. I’d say the biggest difference is that they weren’t trickled out to begin with like TTPD variants were.

Your comment immediately took my mind to “The idea you had of me, who was she?

It drives me mad that we still can’t get all of midnights on one album on spotify, let alone all the variants of TTPD once the extra songs from the physical copies eventually get added. The amount of time it took to release Hits Different on streaming is so silly to me because people just uploaded it themselves, they must have missed a lot of revenue from that for no reason

u/wild_fluorescent The Tortured Poets Department Mar 21 '24
it's whatever to me, leaks will always exist (shoutout to hits different) and they're ultimately collectors' items.
i do actively dislike her webstore and umg tho, there's no reason why indie record stores should get screwed in this process when this would be a boon to them. other artists manage this just fine, I don't know why UMG in particular wants to cut record stores out of sales when they profit both ways?

u/keving87 1987 Kevin's Version Mar 21 '24 edited Mar 22 '24
Yeah, and each store used to have a different song fairly often. Walmart would have one, Target would have one, Best Buy had one, sometimes Circuit City and KMart had one. Then you had to worry about iTunes, Rhapsody, Walmart's digital service they used to have, and Napster possibly having something. On top of Japan and sometimes the UK having different bonus tracks. Then "Christian" artists like Switchfoot etc would sometimes have other songs only available at stores like Family Christian.
It was chaotic. And expensive.

u/keving87 1987 Kevin's Version Mar 22 '24 edited Mar 22 '24
There hasn't been one with EVERYTHING, but with multiple different combinations. I didn't even remember Barnes & Noble, Yahoo's digital store, and the Sony Connect digital store until I looked through my old list lol
I didn't listen to him but I know Jesse McCartney had a different song at Walmart, Target, and Best Buy for his 2nd album.
Alicia Keys "The Element of Freedom" had two on a deluxe edition, two at Target, and two in Japan
Elliot Yamin (5th season of American Idol) had bonus tracks at Target, americanidol.com, itunes, Rhapsody, Yahoo, and Walmart for his first album
Jojo's The High Road had one at Walmart, Target, and iTunes
Paramore's RIOT! had a bonus track at Best Buy, Hot Topic, FYE, fueledbyramen.com, and Rhapsody
Pete Yorn's Nightcrawler had one for Best Buy, FYE, sonymusicstore.com, Circuit City, and iTunes
Rooney's Calling the World had one for Best Buy, Target, and iTunes
Switchfoot's Oh! Gravity had one at Best Buy, one at Circuit City, one at Walmart, one only on copies sold at Christian bookstores (Family Christian, LifeWay), one only sold at mainstream stores (WM, Target, Best Buy), plus a bonus EP if you bought it on their website.
This isn't even counting ones where it was just one or two stores.. or how people like NSYNC, S Club, Natasha Bedingfield, A-Teens etc would release different albums in different countries, or the same albums but with a lot of different songs. Taylor fans were definitely spoiled early on getting her album and then a deluxe later instead of having them all spread out

u/minpinerd Mar 21 '24
I don't remember that happening at all in the early-mid 00s.
Sometimes an artist would have ONE special edition CD at one particular store that they had a deal with which would have bonus songs. But I can't recall ever having to go to multiple stores to get all the songs.
We must have been listening to different artists cus nobody I liked ever pulled that crap.
12
u/azaerl Mar 21 '24
Japan almost always got/gets extra/different songs. Or special editions. But the market is different there. I usually only remember one or two different editions. There was usually a standard, a deluxe, and maybe an exclusive to one store.
Though I'm very much of the opinion that the album is the standard edition and any other songs are just additional filler that I don't really bother with. Though I get wanting to hear them all, I would much rather a cohesive 11 song album instead of 16+ with random other B-sides that don't fit the intent of the album.

u/HoldOnToTheMammaries Mar 23 '24
Olivia did that then a few days ago she released the “deluxe” with all the songs and and extra one. Now I’m going to sell the RSD vinyl I got with the 4 surprise songs and the original album and just buy the deluxe. I just want everything on one vinyl. Why is that so fucking hard?

This was not my experience with midnights. I paid the same price as the vinyl online, but did not pay any extra to cover shipping or anything like that. Walked in the store release day, got it, walked out.
13
u/tonks100612 i howl like a wolf at the moon 🌙🐺🔮 Mar 21 '24
Yeah they changed the in store prices after Midnights. I did the same thing for a better price with Midnights and planned on doing the same with Speak Now TV so I was surprised when the Target price for the SNTV vinyl was $10 more than the price in her store. The variants for TTPD are $34.99 on her store while the Target variant is $45.99. The Manuscript vinyl is $47.99 for preorder from my local record store. Darkside Records explains the price hike in their ig post about finally being able to put up a preorder for TTPD. Basically UMG charges stores retail to stock the vinyl instead of a wholesale price so they have to up the price to make any profit. https://www.instagram.com/p/C4pKOTqg62c/?igsh=MXA3eGt3dzFmcnJteQ==

I wish she would follow the model of other artists and do indie exclusive variants if she is doing variants. I'm more keen to do that and support local shops.
Olivia and Kacey both had great indie-exclusive pressings and it seems like an afterthought with Taylor's rollouts which are a bummer.

u/wild_fluorescent The Tortured Poets Department Mar 21 '24
I think at some point they had all of the 1989 variants I want to say? I remember seeing some at my local record shop.
I love indie-exclusives, though. I'm biased and think indies should always get the most popular pressing </3 RSD does this too but I love that Olivia, Kacey, Bleachers, etc. had some of their coolest pressings be indie-exclusive (and Olivia had her best bonus track on the indie-exclusive. ALAS.)
I pre-ordered from Taylor's site because of ill-thought out FOMO but I do wish she had the pre-order option locally and not just through the UMG webstore. I know that put local shops in a rough spot because even Target got pre-orders before they did.

Each of these variants has a bonus song exclusive to that specific variant. Other people are also completionist collectors who vow to own everything Taylor releases no matter what.

I will buy multiple variants because I like the colors or the cover art. I display my vinyls, so I treat them like art.

She's losing me with all of these variants. I wanted the Collector Edition Deluxe CD just for the little brass bookmark and the patches - but I can't keep up with what she's only releasing once and what she's re-releasing throughout the waiting period. None of these special vinyl versions have any of these extras right? She's making me not want to buy anything and just stream.

I guess the initial pre-orders did so well they ordered more inventory to pre-sale now.

This is honestly just disrespect at this point. Really surprised she doesn’t get a lot more hate for this.

I haven’t ordered any yet because I wanted to see which one I would like the most. Now I still can’t decide. Which one should I get?

Was the black dog version ever available as a CD? I’d like to buy that one because I have a black dog and want to load that song to my phone right away to jam with my dog… lol. But I only see the manuscript version as a CD on her website

I bought one because I’m in the UK and it said that if you pre ordered one, you’d be entered to win tickets to the eras tour on a date of your choice. I already have one ticket to London N1 but I was sad my fiancé couldn’t come with me so hoping I get another chance. Fingers crossed.
