Taylor Swift - Taylor's Versions (Re-Recordings Official Thread) Album • Page 204

At the end of the day good for her, and I'll still be happy to have heard All Too Well (10 minute version) even though this site is weird about that song

 

yeah, while i personally don't mind any of the rerecordings (although the country ones are better than the pop ones), Rep was the one i was approaching with the most skepticism (although i would've loved for her to change that godawful cover). not sure if i'll ever pick up the existing OG versions on vinyl since it felt more utilitarian to have the rerecordings if they had more songs, but i'll probably add the OGs back into my streaming rotation.

 

Gimme that rep vault

 

You're having a laugh if you think she isn't going to still release both TV at some point in the future. Saying it's "up to the fans" aka "there's waaaaay too much money I can make from this to not do it so it'll come eventually" lol, like this is the queen of music capitalism herself here.

 

Self titled tv next year for the 20 year anniversary. Rep vault tracks in 2027 for the 10 year anniversary is my prediction

 

Listening guilt free to the superior version of New Romantics. Feels good man.

 

maybe she will just re-press the OGs with fun variants over the next few years and make a billion dollars

 

gimme a boxset tbh

 

this feels inevitable. the question is whether the TVs will stay in print or if she'd throw the bonus/vault tracks on any new variants of the OGs

 

maybe original demos/recordings of the vault tracks, rather than re-recorded ones. that could be cool.

 

I'M JUST GLAD WE CAN FINALLY LISTEN TO THE VOICE MEMOS AGAIN SINCE THOSE AREN'T ON THE TV RELEASESSSSSUHHHH

 

could be fun (and that could get me to potentially pick them up), but it also goes back to the question of just how many of the vault songs were in complete form during the original album cycle (compared to how many were fleshed out during the rerecording phase, although i know the completed demos/recordings for Better Man and Forever Winter are out there). don't know if she'd be partial to newer versions of unreleased songs over their older versions.

 

Thank u for transcribing this post!!

 

also if she does a new pressing of the OG version of Fearless, for the love of God, don't put the bonus tracks in front of the standard album sequencing. it's one of my least-favorite things any time an artist releases a deluxe version of an album.

 

to celebrate, i'm gonna do a discography run of the original versions on spotify today.

 

I was half kidding but half right haha

 

Billboard is reporting she spent 360 million to buy everything back

 

Well no wonder she’s thanking Shamrock. That sounds like a hell of a deal.

 

squeezing every dollar out of every variant; playing chess all along

 

This. I almost never spin Fearless because of that. A baffling choice that I do not understand anyone making, at any point in history.

 

This is my guess - Rep only has two pressings (the white whale orange one that's $1500 and the picture disc that sounds okayyyy), but there's obviously demand for new pressings and variants.

Also - for the love of god, no red variants that don't match the art at all (other than Red, I guess).

 

Does that mean when we stream OGs right now the .000000000001 cent goes to her ?

 

Because of who she is, I am now expecting:

TS12 this fall
TS - 20th Anniversary before the summer tour
Rep Vault RSD 2027

 

It didn't occur to me that she bought them from Shamrock Holdings - that's Disney. Roy E. Disney (Walt's nephew founded them) founded them (his estate still owns them completely) and Disney is their sole investor.
