Jose P 23,341 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 So there’s this thing I’ve been wondering for a while now. What exactly is the difference between an album reissue and a deluxe version? Because I know that reissues sometimes add many songs to the original album like TFM and Cannibal. But what about those like Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection? The CC has only three new songs it’s essentially like a deluxe edition of the original album. Was it sold as a reissue because it was 2 years after the release of Teenage Dream, or is there something else that differentiates a reissue from a deluxe? Or is it actually more common for reissues to have many new songs like The Fame Monster, Cannibal, or Paradise? Because if it’s not then I don’t understand how much different a reissue is from a deluxe, the same album but with two or four new tracks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef666 4,604 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Not sure but I believe it's just the time of release, a deluxe album comes out at the same time as the basic album while a reissue HAS to come later adding whatever wasn't added during the initial launch of other versions if at all. I might be totally wrong so don't quote me on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2School4Cool 6,397 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I think the difference between a re-issue and a deluxe version is whether or not the new song or songs are for the standard album. I personally would interpret the Complete Confection as a deluxe version released 2 years later, almost like a “collector’s edition.” But that’s just my interpretation. An example of a re-issue could be Native by OneRepublic. A year after the album’s original release, they re-issued it with a new song (“Love Runs Out”) added to the album as track 2. It’s not a bonus track, it’s just an addition to the standard album. There are still deluxe versions of the album, but Love Runs Out is now sold on all editions of the album.

Enzo 37,977 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I think the point of a reissue is to re-release the album, meanwhile deluxe editions tend to come at the same time as the album 툭 까보면 어김없이 소리질러와 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
