  1. Let's say that they'll reissue the first album along with Like a Virgin this year, what do you think could be the tracklist?

    Realistically, and if they're willing to package this as a boxset, they could do something like this.

     

    CD 1 - ORIGNAL FIRST ALBUM WITH 4 BONUS TRACKS:

    09-Ain't No Big Deal

    10-Burning Up (Steve Bray Demo)

    11-Everybody (Steve Bray Demo)

    12-Ain't No Big Deal (Steve Bray Demo)

     

    CD 2 - ORIGINAL LIKE A VIRGIN ALBUM (+ ITG)  WITH 4 BONUS TRACKS:

    11-Desperately Seeking Susan [Unreleased]

    12-Angel (Steve Bray Demo)

    13-Over and Over (Steve Bray Demo)

    14-Shoo-Bee-Doo (Steve Bray Demo)

     

    CD 3 - THE REMIXES:

    01-Everybody (UK 12" Mix)

    02-Burning Up (12" Mix)

    03-Lucky Star (US Remix)

    04-Borderline (US Remix)

    05-Like a Virgin (Extended Dance Remix)

    06-Material Girl (Extended Dance Remix)

    07-Angel (Extended Dance Remix)

    08-Dress You Up (12" Formal Mix)

     

    CD 4 - THE VIRGIN TOUR

     

    Of course we can always wish for more but if these two albums are packaged together, this will limit the possibilities for the tracklist to be truly expanded as I don't see a 8 CD Boxset being released. Also, as much as I would like the Vision Quest tracks along with these, I feel like they won't get included, though I'd like to be proven wrong and have Crazy for You (with its Jellybean demo), Gambler (with its Steve Bray demo) and of course Warning Signs.

    I agree, at least the Single Remix is there, @Curtainswill be happy

    Glad the Single Remix is there indeed as it's my favorite version, but too bad that this release is an incomplete one still. It's not that hard to get all these remixes on streaming, in this case they've been available in digital source for years and can even be found on this forum.

    Is the 7" version on FEL actually any different from the album version? It's the same length no?

    My favourite version is the cold ending on Immaculate TBH

    Considering they’re mostly going with the UK/US tracklists, I guess the Material Girl single on streaming will just be this:

    01 - Material Girl (2024 Remaster)

    02 - Material Girl (Extended Dance Remix - 2024 Remaster)

    03 - Pretender (2024 Remaster)

     

    The Angel Remix and Into the Groove were on the Japanese tracklist but I feel like an Angel/Into the Groove single is more likely. I also don’t see them releasing the Video Version as it was never commercially released. The 7“ Version from Finally Enough Love is just the album version.

    And The Immaculate Collection version is also my favorite, I love the little extra echos and the cold ending as well. :) 

  4. Madonna is my fourth most listened artist this year on Spotify.

    -Back That Up to the Beat - demo version is my 9th most listened song.

    -Vulgar is my 13th most listened song.

    -Popular is my 18th most listened song.

    -Back That Up to the Beat - sped up version is my 43th most listened song.

     

    Other than Madonna, Kylie Minogue is, according to Spotify, my favorite artist for the second year in a row. Padam Padam, Tension and Vegas High make my Top 3 for this year. :)

    Agree. It looks nice but it doesn’t suit the opening section.

    Having said that it’s been fun seeing all these slight changes. It’ll be interesting to see what else she changes through the US leg.

    The new ponytail vs. curls I guess. I wouldn't be surprised if a thread like that appear in the forum soon! :)

  6. Catching up with the thread. :)

    At my Paris show (November 19th), Madonna did leave the stage saying "Thank you Paris! Bonne nuit! Good night", or something along those lines. I guess it just depends on her mood I don't know. She seemed very relaxed and happy at that specific show.

    Die Another Day is definitely live with a backing track. At some point she sang a line slightly early at my show and you could hear it quite clearly. Some tracks have a more prominent backing track than others (NRM after the intro, Bitch I'm Madonna, Bad Girl and Hung Up being the ones were it is pretty much as loud as her actual voice). From what I gathered, Everybody's backing track is very loud and she sings with it during the verses and bridge, but doesn't sing during the choruses, making these lip-synced. Erotica's spoken parts are lipped while she sings with the backing track for the singing parts. Justify My Love is fully lipped. Surprisingly the rap in Vogue is live, for the first time ever in a tour.

  7. I think the B-Sides are most of the time chosen right, as they tend to not be as strong as most of the songs from the albums they were recorded for.

    -Ain't No Big Deal is my least favorite track released from the first album era.

    -Supernatural is ok, better than Love Song for me at least, but I don't come back often to it.

    -Let Down Your Guard is worse than all the tracks that made the album, but being a rough edit, it doesn't help.

    -Has to Be is actually good, I like it better than some of the tracks released on Ray of Light (namely Little Star, Candy Perfume Girl, Shanti and even Mer Girl). I know it was a last minute decision to replace it with To Have and Not to Hold, but both deserved a spot on the record. Oh well, at least it's on the japanese version.

    -I never liked Cyber-Raga, it's probably my least favorite song from the era and that includes the unreleased songs too. It's way too overproduced for me.

    -History is ok and better to have it this way than not having it at all but most of us will agree that the demo version was way better than the version released, which feels more like a remix. As it is, it's probably worse than the other released tracks of Confessions besides maybe Super Pop.

    Thank you for your kind words. I don't post as often but I still go regularly here.
