  1. I feel like they HAVE to release "Into The Groove" on it's own. It's such a classic, not just a Madonna classic. And it was released as it's own single in several countries, so it's not like they'd really be revising history or anything.
  2. Not quite. Strangely, "La Isla Bonita" is the only one of the pre-1989 singles that wasn't remastered. Neither was You Can Dance Single Edits, but that one's classified as an album. Plenty of other un-remastered albums out there.
  3. Somewhere in this forum, I downloaded the Japanese gold disc edition of STR, and "I'll Remember" is 4:24 on it.
  4. I have it in my Halloween playlist with "Thriller", "Werewolves of London", "The Munsters Theme", etc.
  5. That's great, but Stevey B forgot to put a shadow on the word Madonna, like the original single.
  6. @PaperFacesI'm referring to the Guerilla Groove Mix and the Orbit Alternative Mix, but mostly the Guerilla Groove Mix. There's so much distortion, particularly on the vocals. But yes, that FLAC @Would You Like To Try posted of the Orbit Alternative Mix does sound much better. I'll DM you about sending you the files.
  7. I'm trying to research ways to decrease that "crunchiness" in her vocals, but I'm afraid I don't have the right vocabulary to properly look it up online. I do know that Noise Reduction in Audacity certainly doesn't make it any better.
  8. Regarding these two vinyl-only remixes of "I'll Remember" - are they mastered VERY loudly on the vinyl or something? I just got a copy of the 12" US promo single and ripped them to my computer. There is SO MUCH distortion on Madonna's vocals. The place I bought the record form cleaned it well, I cleaned it well, I cleaned by turntable's stylus and it's still sounds so bad. I kind of hear it on a tip I downloaded from this forum too. It's the mastering, right? It's not just me?
  9. I had the same question. I referred to http://stealmylyrics.com/madonnaremixology/ because it appears not to have been updated in awhile. As in, some things marked as vinyl-only there have now been added to streaming. Strangely, though, you can't search for the word "vinyl" on that site because it's coded weirdly I guess.
  10. It looks like the correct cover is used on the streaming services (I checked Spotify and Qobuz). The incorrect cover, where she's looking in the other direction, seems to be limited to that Tweet.
  11. I was comparing the 2024 remaster of "Material Girl" to the 2022 remaster, and I'm starting to think the 2022 remaster from FEL actually is a different mix. I think the main difference is that the drums sound wetter (more reverb) in the 2022 remaster, which is supposed a 7" version. The snare drum totally has more reverb on FEL and the hi-hat is quieter and less crispy-sounding. That wouldn't be a result of mastering, but of mixing. And I could totally see a record company in 1984 just slightly changing the mix of a song for the 7" version. Remember all the different "mixes" of Cher's "If I Could Turn Back Time"? Each one just had slightly different levels for each instrument, and therefore they classified them as different mixes. But you could BARELY hear the difference in each one, if at all. Opinions? Wait, I actually don't want them.
  12. For that it's worth, the streaming services seemed to have re-organized Madonna's catalog CORRECTLY into albums and singles. Or at least, that's what I just noticed on Qobuz: As in, no more listing all these maxi singles as albums. Don't know when that happened, but I just noticed it today. Looks like Spotify has it correct too, but I don't use Spotify so I'm not sure if it's always been like that or not. News you can use.
  13. I just want her to add "Music" at the very end. That would be a much better, more raucous closing than "Bitch I'm Madonna". A great summation of her music career.
  14. I think this article was written by AI or something. A lot of it doesn't make sense. It says: "Under this contract, Madonna was paid an advance of $5,000 and a royalty rate of 15 percent. This meant that for every album sold, Madonna would receive 15 cents." So does that mean there is only $1 profit from every album sold? Or that's the assumption? I don't follow. Then it goes on to say: "It was revealed that Rihana had purchased the rights to all of her albums.You can find the album Beyblade on both Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records. Because of the arrangement, the master recordings of some of Bey’s songs appear on her albums. Furthermore, the singer signed a global recording contract with Sony Music Entertainment, the company that owns Columbia Records, in January 2020." Wait, now we're suddenly talking about Rihanna and/or Beyonce and some album called Beyblade? Then later: "The album Becoming Blackened Recordings is the ultimate in independence, according to Metallica guitarist Lardrup Ulrich. The rapper’s manager, Kei Henderson, revealed that 21 Savage owns his master’s degree." Becoming Blackened Recordings? Lardrup? Master's degree?
