Ok, here's my "review" of the tape: 1. Erotica - this is the final, polished version of the demo we know from the LOC tapes. 2. Waiting - sounds very much like the album version but with many changes. more samples of "Waiting... For You" throughout, Completely unique vocal ab libs towards the end. This also fades out (if memory serves the final has a piano ending) 3. Rain - Very close to the final album version except this has the double verse at the end "stand out on the mountain

Let's leave it until the owner approaches - no point harassing.

Side note - Madonna Australia have shared some interesting tidbits on the rejected cover for Deeper and Deeper - originally it was the cover that was used for Bad Girl! Thanks @GregVsMattfor the info!

Wow so this was planned for Deeper and Deeper, used for the Fever promo and finally used commercially for Bad Girl.

2. Waiting - sounds very much like the album version but with many changes. more samples of "Waiting... For You" throughout, Completely unique vocal ab libs towards the end. This also fades out (if memory serves the final has a piano ending)

3. Rain - Very close to the final album version except this has the double verse at the end "stand out on the mountain top..." there is also no rain effects the end

4. Deeper And Deeper - very similar to the LOC tape. No backing vocals and possibly a different vocal take. I'd need to do some comparing

5. Thief Of Hearts - similar to one of the final LOC demos, includes some unique backing vocals/harmonies, also has the "thief.. thief... thief of hearts" section at the end. Ends like the album version but much more reverb on the spoken vocals.

6. Bad Girl - similar to the LOC tape, demo vocal, repeated first verse in place of the second verse. this has backing vocals/harmonies.

7. Why's It So Hard - completely different and unique! The music is much more reggae inspired and "raw." Somewhat different structure in terms of the vocal placement. Includes the male vocals with some extra spoken bits not used in the final mix. Demo vocal from M and cold ending with male vocals

8. Where Life Begins - much clearer vocals and more basic music. The saxophone is quite prominent and loud! Vocals are an alternate take with unheard adlibs.

9. In This Life - interesting bass line, this seems like an early version of the final mix. more evolved than the LOC version, but not quite there yet. Demo vocal. spoken vocals seem to have the same "phone" effect as Bye Bye Baby vocals.

10. Words - such a fun mix! this has the final version production with many changes: completely unheard, unique intro, no spoken parts or typing effects. 

11. Bye Bye Baby - similar to the final version. different instrumentation throughout. interesting, different samples in the spoken end part - feels more "hip hop" than the final mix. Same ending without the "you fucked it up"

12. Secret Garden - this sounds like the demo we have, that leaked with Dear Father

13. Goodbye To Innocence - this is a version of the LOC mix, but completely different and unique. New vocal take and it includes the final vocals "say goodbye..." lots of new harmonies throughout. pretty different to the LOC version and no where near the demo that sounds closer to Fever.

14. Shame - unique mix to the LOC tape. music is way more evolved and has a funkier beat added to the music we are familiar with. Sounds like a new lead vocal.

 

and there you have it!

we need this tape to leak!

Would love to hear the version of Shame as it’s my fave outtake from this album and really hope it’s polished up for the eventual reissue which we will probably get in 2046 going at the usual snails pace Warner and m are working at - surely by then they would have milked all the vinyl reissues and holographic sleeves too 😴

Sorry no, it's coming out 2092 for it's 100th anniversary and includes the cassette rip found on this forum. #Erotica100

Haha i can picture that. I imagine all of us in  2092 as preserved heads floating on bottles, like in Futurama, and doing a listening party for #Erotica100 :lol:
