Yeah but she said that almost 30 years after it's release. That doesn't necessarily indicate how she felt back in the day. She also said she'd puke if she ever had to sing "Material Girl" again and that she'd never do a greatest hits tour.

Loudon. Not Landon or London. The character was Loudon. And you call yourselves Madonna fans...

I replied to the wrong comment. I’ve had two manhattans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I compared it to the rip from the Japanese CD single box and it’s BARELY louder than it. Didn’t compare it to the album version though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can rip it from the Celebration DVD. DVD audio is higher quality than CD audio anyway (48 kHz vs. 44.1 kHz), if that makes you feel any better.

What you’re describing is a remix not a remaster. Mastering is done after the mixing is complete. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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.

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.

Somewhere in this forum, I downloaded the Japanese gold disc edition of STR, and "I'll Remember" is 4:24 on it.

I have it in my Halloween playlist with "Thriller", "Werewolves of London", "The Munsters Theme", etc.

That's great, but Stevey B forgot to put a shadow on the word Madonna, like the original single.

@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.

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.

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?

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.
