I guess there's a reason why M wouldn't approve the released version of GTI to be present on streamings...

I'm sure it'll be released digitally soon. I personally prefer the final released version.

The reason why lenght is different is because of the way cds were mastered, since the files on Something to remember were from different sources to homogenize the album they had to use a higher bitrate which can cause some tracks to get slower. This is due to lens of the players being programmed to read at a unique speed. It's very obvious on You Can Dance, the tracks are slower than their original speed. So I'll Remember is the same cut but the uploaded file is not from cd source, probably master.

Yeah Something To Remember was entirely "remastered". In fact, that’s the case for every greatest hits album where the songs come from different eras. 

I didn’t know about the technicalities, so thank you for educating us on that! 🥰

So I'll Remember on Something To Remember is the same version as With Honors Soundtrack and the one released on Spotify?

They sound really different to me.

Makese sense if Live To Tell was released next. March 26th, 1986 was the original release date.

Sadly, I think they will be cause every pre-1989 re-issue has been remastered. 🥲

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.

Into The Groove has actually had a lot of stuff on its various formats 

• "Into the Groove" (Single Version) – 4:43
• "Shoo-Bee-Doo" (LP Version) – 5:16
• "Physical Attraction" (Single Edit) – 3:55
• "Who's That Girl" (Extended Version) – 6:29
• "Causing a Commotion" (Silver Screen Mix) – 6:39
• "Into the Groove" (Extended Remix) – 8:31
• "Into the Groove" (Remix Dub) – 6:22
• "Everybody" (Extended Remix) – 7:06
• "Everybody" (LP Version) – 4:52
• Into The Hollywood Groove

I so hope it gets its only release and isn't lumped in with Angel as this artwork is just too Iconic. 

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.

Ok, so officially, the only difference between the Orbit Remix and the Orbit Alternative Remix is the length? Are there other differences in terms of production? Im not noticing any. Just wondering what the point of releasing two very similar mixes and calling on "Alternate" when, really, theres just no fade out.

Same thing with the Beach and Groove mixes? What the hell are the differences?

Also, anyone notice distorsions in the Groove Mix in some points at 1:43 and 4:03?

It's an alternate version, anyway. Maybe he submitted them that way and they were kept and filed as such?

Orbit Remix is alternate for me and the Orbit Remix on the CD is the edit or Radio Version of the remix for me 

Orbit Remix on the CD has less bass or sounds and is shorter for me it's the radio version of the Orbit Remix and the standard ver is the Alternate one for me

LOL to how William Orbit rambles on at Instagram regarding I'LL REMEMBER.  It was hard to follow, but got the gist:

We have both the right to disagree to each other. It's constitutional.

I didn't understand a word or concept on that last Orbit IG post. xd

Did you see he posted like 5 comments in a row?  But yeah, it was very odd and I had a hard time following it all.  Just rambled on!

[Jackie 8,076]

It was sweet - what I read from his post - while remixing I'll Remember, he was living directly opposite the beach, an earthquake happened and it was that cassette with his phone number that he submitted - was the one that got him the ROL gig.

I did and they only made me feel more and more confused xdd

[Jackie 8,076]

But also - there's a much more out there perhaps unreleased mix of I'll Remember that he had done - we need to track that down!

Yes, I felt the same.  I was like...WTF is he talking about?  All I got out of it, is he lost one of the mixes and was happy to see Madonna had it and shared it officially.

My Aussie friend, I take the opportunity to thank you for your warning point you gave me yesterday - I really crossed a line and took a wrong path and I recognize that, I ask sorry to all Infiniters and the deceased person's family for my gross joke - a sane person must know the limit when it comes to mock people who aren't even unable to defend themselves. I will measure better my wording because the least I wanna do here is to sound disrespectful esp to people who haven't earned anything to deserve such treatment. It's not a question of fixing a mistake, but of putting ethics and empathy above any desire of being "edgy" when in fact there's no class to such "edgy" attitude. My sincere apologies with my whole heart.

I wonder which producer for ROL that had the falling out - was it Pat Leonard and that's why we've not had anything with her and him since? Or David - and hence the surprise look on her face when he came on stage at the grammies when she was accepting the award?
