Nobody Knows Me

Opening nights of The Girlie Show (Wembley) and Sticky & Sweet Tour (Cardiff). Madame X at the Palladium, the night they cut the sound and closed the curtain at the start of “I Rise” because she overran! Her and the dancers came out from behind the curtain and finished the show anyway with the audience singing all the words at the top of their voices. That was a magic moment!

Fixed on Spotify too! [emoji106][emoji1316] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The single edit of Lucky Star on the TM Century comps is their own edit. There are two slightly different edits (the intro differs) but both are well executed. But it isn’t ‘the’ edit used by Warner on the 7” or video. It’s actually edited slightly better! But yes, they must have all of the masters digitised from back in the 90s since they did the Japanese boxset and German yellow series campaign around that time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The only compilation I’m aware of that has it is Madonna’s “It’s That Girl” (1987) Uk promo cassette. I don’t know of any other release (either Madonna or Various Artists) that has it but would be good to hear if anyone knows of another. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just because you haven’t noticed the errors doesn’t mean they don’t exist. They do. But the point is that quality control is poor. Even the liner notes on celebration gave incorrect writer’s credits. They DID reissue a corrected version of the Celebration CD (I have version 1 and version 2 and they are listed on Discogs) with Cherish and Erotica edits corrected. On Erotica the error version cuts a beat too late after the Arabic chant bridge and on Cherish they edited the lyric to “Cant get away I won’t let… to” rather than “I could never forget to”. Die another day and Hollywood were simply lifted from the American life cd which has incorrect track markers, and clips the intros. As someone else mentions “Music” still isn’t fixed. But if these things aren’t a problem for you, I accept that. But it annoys the hell out of other people, me included. And the messed up intros on the new True Blue digital release is just careless.

And Like A Prayer with the Promo Only Dubs included. More of the same please, Warner! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They managed to master and distribute the original album back in 1986 without cutting the intro off three of the tracks, but not for the “remastered” version in 2021. Same with the Celebration CD - Erotica and Cherish were edited incorrectly and the cd was then corrected and reissued, Hollywood had the beats from American life audible on the intro, Die Another Day had the intro clipped and Music had digital pops and clicks not heard on the original. This isn’t about people being fussy or trying to be a sound engineer. It’s about the record company maintaining good professional standards and not redistributing music in a defective state.

Rhino asked fans on Twitter what they thought of the album and several people mentioned the missing tracks and errors, including me. Rhino liked my comment! Maybe they are listening? Maybe one day we’ll get Open Your Heart 7” Remix too [emoji13] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, it would be the same digital master as used on “The Best of Warner Music (UK)”. The only other release to feature it is the radio one number ones cd that you previously mentioned and I think that includes a well mastered vinyl rip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m pretty sure this was a vinyl rip (albeit a very good one). The best CD rip of True Blue Remix is here: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Simply-The-Best-Of-Warner-Music-UK/release/926166 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Perhaps you’d hear it with fresh ears if we had a digital master rather than a crackly vinyl or tape rip ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is true! I like the overall sound mix better. To me, it sounds warmer. The symbol crash intro is also softened. There is something a little harsh about the LP Version. If I had to rank my favourite version (excluding the 12” remix) I’d say the 7” remix is my fave version, followed by Immaculate Collection/celebration version, and then the LP version.

It’s subtle but it is different and uses several sound stems which don’t appear on the album version, such as the recurrent clap sequence. I love this version - it was the official 7” single A-side in the uk and the only one that isn’t available digitally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’d love the Open Your Heart 7” Remix. Apart from the 7” vinyl, the best copy I have is a rip from the ‘It’s That Girl’ promo cassette tape. I can’t believe it’s never appeared on any digital format!

Amazing. It’s the best fan made documentary I’ve ever seen. Wonderful stuff x Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When are you making the next episode of Bitch I’m Madonna? I’ve loved this series so far. I appreciate the time and effort you put into it! Such a great chronology of her career Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I prefer the September 2001 test sequence over the final track-list. This sequence was documented on MadonnaTribe and includes ‘You’ll see’ over ‘substitute for love’. Although it won’t satisfy everyone, because so many great songs are omitted and it’s non-chronological, it’s actually a really great playlist and sequence. I do miss ‘Rain’ and ‘Nothing Really Matters’ though. http://www.madonnatribe.com/decade/2013/ghv20-2/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like this version you’ve put together and it’s similar to my own although I prefer Nothing Really Matters to Drowned World ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really good! Happy about those changes to be fair Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just watched it. Excellent. I’ve been a fan since 1990 and you always manage to find a little clip or soundbite that I’ve not seen or heard before. Those alternative clips of ‘Dress You Up’ where she sticks her tongue out and points at the crowd, I’ve never seen before. Another great episode!! Every fan should see these!!!

Incredible series. What a great labour of love [emoji176] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

worst lyric ever. That one line kills the song for me. She could have sang "come join the party" and it would have fitted just fine, but sing ladedadee is just senseless. So.... "I'd rather be your lover " *skip* "Don't Stop" *skip*, oh hello "Inside Of Me" ! I hear ya ;)
