I own her hand written lyrics to the extended (additional verse) version on the back of her lyrics to Where life begins.  My most treasured M item.

Your post here really just resonated with me and took me back to 1992. Like you say, Madonna hadn't released anything since The Immaculate Collection in 1990, and information on artists and New releases was so much more difficult to find out. 
I was only 16 when The Immaculate Collection was released. As far as I was concerned, and was led to believe, a greatest hits package was an artist's way of grouping all their best work together and then signing off. I was under the impression that Madonna, my favourite artist, had called it a day. Seems crazy to have thought that now.
The release of This Used To Be My Playground came out of nowhere and the track absolutely stunned me when I first heard it. She was back, and The Immaculate Collection had not been the end. The long version became the default listen as I found the single version too short. I found the music to it beautifully haunting, and on many occasions, then and since, there's been a lump in my throat by the end of the song. How utterly raw with emotion it sounded, about someone looking back at their childhood, just at the point when I was on the brink of turning 18 and leaving my childhood behind. 
Yeh, it unfortunately appears to be a forgotten and overlooked song, but not with me. Like the Erotica album which followed not too far behind, it arrived at a really huge time in my life. Pretty special.

What is all this punishment going on?

I’m not going to be very positive about this...
I bought the CD as soon as it was released and I found the remixes quite disappointing
There is a cold side in these new versions, LIKE A VIRGIN is the very example. For me, the original version is much better and this end... !
Can't you hear my heart beat... ? well no, I don't hear it
At its release, the only interest I find of this compilation was to hear CRAZY FOR YOU and short versions of BORDERLINE and LUCKY STAR.
Sorry guys but I would have largely preferred to have a compilation with the original singles versions as it was done for other artists.
This Q-sound was really not a good idea

Wow! 😳 I wish I could bitch about working with one of my colleagues, and then get paid $3 million to piss off.

Well lead single does mean the first single from the album 
By this threads logic Girl Gone Wild and Crave should be the lead singles of their respective albums 

There is no argument. Everybody, Live to Tell and Die Another Day WERE the lead singles.
Also, why is Vogue not listed? #floppoll

love these juicy new stories from the set 🤣

Cherish is WAY better than Who's That Girl. I HOPE it is on the tour just to punish you.

A League Of Their Own. That poignant last scene at the reunion, the fade out, and then This Used To Be My Playground kicks in as the credits roll. Lump in the throat stuff.

On time.

You can't stop me now
'Cause I might
Be getting a remaster
Let me show you how
Tomorrow night
I'll be streaming on a platform near you

"Her worst film"?
No. That honor goes to Swept Away.
But yes, the whine fest that is One More Chance is horrible and should never have been recorded.

I’m Breathless. What a beautiful album!

You need a good spanky!

Ricky Martin once said the same thing

Blocked!

Shoo Be Doo is better than most songs off HC, MDNA, RH and MX though 💅🏻

Madonna's worst album of the 80s?
it does not exist

I will never undersand why some fans claim Like a Virgin is one of her weakest albuns.
Really?
An album with classic and unforgettable songs like Material Girl, Like a Virgin, Dress you Up, Into the Groove and Angel.
And also some very good pop songs like Love don't live here anymore, Over and Over and Stay. 
Also we still have Crazy for you and Gambler from the same era. 
IMO, it's on my top 3: Like a Prayer, Ray of Light and Like a Virgin.  

Even Madonna's worst 80's album is miles better than anything released by most other pop stars.

Shoo Be Doo is on top!!!
And claiming that LAV LP is not so great is not understanding the explosion that took place between 1983 and 1986 with these 3 albums ....... pure happiness / energy / enthusiasm ...... she is Madonna
