Number 5 in the UK!!! 🥰🥰🥰

This would have been a good song to use in stranger things imo - would have given the song a good boost and seeing as she wrote it M would have benefited from it - not that she needs the money of course but could have bought more grills or hot pants 🥰

So is it not worth purchasing on qobuz then ? I already have gambler from Japan CDs and the instrumental in digital wav that I bought a decade ago from a collector so was just going to buy the 12” version ? 

It's up to you. Many of us hate the remaster, others love the sound quality. It's a good remaster, but the heavy dynamic range compression makes the tracks sound too loud and distorted in certain parts of the song. Try to listen a preview.

Ok thanks - I think I’ll just get the 12” version and the artwork which I love - very cute imo 😘

Maybe it's just me, but I bought the 24-bit/96khz single of HDTracks and they sound absolutely gorgeous. There does seem to be a difference between the ITunes files (at least, the excerpts) and the files I purchased.

I have the 96000 Hz/24 bits from QOBUZ and even her voice is distorted when she sings loud. But I can't notice distortion in the 30 seconds HDTRACKS preview...

Could you share with us that digital version of the instrumental remix please? It's because to can listen to it without that "new remaster"

I think the Gambler one might come from the 2009 Celebration remastering sessions.

This is one of the 3 new unreleased mixes made for Celebration in 2009

 

 

[Blue Jean 15,068]

So Gambler was planned to be on Celebration but not Angel, True Blue, Causing a Commotion, Rescue Me, Deeper and Deeper, I’ll Remember…. ?

Speaking of that.

Does anyone know who the whistler is?

Is it Madonna? Jellybean? Stephen Bray?
Oh silly me, I'll just ask Bray on Twitter. With some luck, he'll reply.

Like a Virgin is my least favorite Madonna album (although I still love it).  My issue with it is that it feels less like a Madonna album than any of the others.  Admittedly, those three LAV era additions would tip the scales for me and raise the Madonna magic level for me.  

I feel the same way. It feels like a record company creation. Generally, I don’t really like live drums in Madonna songs.

It's sounds less distorted in my opinion but with 30 seconds of preview I can't tell you if you should purchase that version.

There's no evidence for that whatsoever.

No, There was a collection of reference CDs with several mixes of different singles assembled for Celebration before the actual song selection, including the Like a Prayer dubs and other things. We don’t know the track lists for all of them. A few of those discs have popped up on Ebay though. Gambler's Extended Dance Mix was apparently on one of those as well.
