I prefer the US one lol. The picture they used on the UK/EU one was far too old.

Also, the sad truth is that some Madonna fans are around 60. If they keep waiting to release some of the rare stuff, there will be no one left to buy or stream it. I even know some fans who have even passed by now and never got to witness the singles on streaming. It’s very very sad, so this whole "things need to stay exclusive" bullshit is extremely elitist and ignorant.

There was an obscure test pressing from 1988 that had Santa Baby bw/ Supernatural on it. I’m not sure if it’s legit but I wanted Santa Baby in my collection instead of a random various artists compilation. I think it would have been a cute idea. I added Can't Stop and the leaked remix instrumental for True Blue as b-sides, along with the little X-Mas radio skit she did that leaked.

TUTBMP is strongly associated with the Erotica album, as it was recorded during those sessions. I think IF they indeed plan to release expanded versions of her albums, it will appear there. I never expected it to appear on this single though. They only go as far as promo mixes occasionally but an actually unreleased version? No chance, unfortunately. And unlike some people here pretending to be super loyal fans by saying crap like "Oh I think it’s great that some stuff stays exclusive to (rich) fans! Not everything should be available. " I am disappointed in the inconsistency and the overall patchiness of these re-releases.

I am not saying he was inexperienced or unprofessional. He abandoned the project in spite of Madonna not being satisfied with the final result. I am aware that Jellybean was a DJ and not a producer but his tweaks on Burning Up, Physical Attraction, Lucky Star and Borderline all sounded far better than Reggie’s final takes. Jellybean’s mixes made these songs timeless. Also, as far as I know Jellybean mostly demanded co-production credit which is a fair point. He added quite a lot of new elements to some songs and even replaced some of the original instrument stems. Reggie got enough credit. He even got writing credit for songs he didn’t write himself entirely.

Frozen is one of THE greatest songs ever made. Ray Of Light was the perfect second single in my eyes. It wouldn’t have been as much of a WOW factor if she came out with that cause it sounds more "classic Madonna". Also, we have to consider the season these were released in. Frozen came out in February which is one of the colder and darker months. Ray Of Light came out in Spring. It makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE in terms of marketing. Ray Of Light is the embodiment of a spring awakening to me.

Madonna's debut was mainly produced by Reggie Lucas who at one point abandoned the project and left Madonna with a bit of a half-baked album. She was not very satisfied with the outcome. Jellybean, her boyfriend at that time, offered her Holiday which he produced himself. So, there kind of wasn’t a need for a new remix of the song. Lucky Star and Borderline still sounded quite rough on the album which is why Jellybean offered to remix them for the single release.

Don't jump to conclusions. Wikipedia had the date wrong (and as a result of that, so did my list). The actual release date is the 30th of June. There is still a chance that it is coming to streaming next week. They may of course continue to drag this campaign out for another year considering that they skipped a bunch of anniversaries this year, but let’s not give up our hopes!

They could have used Love Makes The World Go Round as b-side as well.

I got the release date from this article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who's_That_Girl_(soundtrack) Singles from Who's That Girl: "Who's That Girl" Released: June 23, 1987 "Causing a Commotion" Released: August 25, 1987 "The Look of Love" Released: November 25, 1987

All the predictions were correct! Thank god. Hopefully they will squeeze out Live To Tell on the 30th as well. That omission is so odd.

And all of those remixes have aged TERRIBLY.

No.

I believe that the "remix" is close to what was originally going to be on the album. They likely only added the new backup vocals.
