This is still fan-made but would be the best option, very close to the original design:

The Oh Father 7'' Edit/Single Edit on the US 7'' Single was eventually released on streaming as part of the LAP 30th anniversary version in 2019

I thought this was real, I'm sorry :-(

Up Down Suite is my jam!
It was sampled in this track by Sonikku a few years ago, and it was also cool to hear the Up Down Suite in the interlude on the Celebration Tour before Vogue
 

In an interview with GQ Magazine, Pierce Brosnan revealed his sparky on-set relationship with Madoona - who had a small cameo role as Bond`s instructor during the fencing scene at Blades Club.

"She definitely pushes your button, and I made that mistake," admits Brosnan after a run-in with Madge on the set of new Bond film Die Another Day. So what happened to ruffle Madonna`s feathers? "The guys in the trailer were joking around the day that she was on set, singing Like a Virgin."

I`m miles away, and I`m out there with my saber and she`s all dressed up in her costume and I forget that she`s there and I start singing Like A Virgin," says Brosnan. "And oh man, Jesus! That`s like a red rag to a bull. She thought that I was pulling her chain. She said, `Are you trying to dis me?` and I said, `No, Madonna. No, for God`s sake, No!` You definitely don`t want to upset Madonna!"

The two made up, however, and Pierce was clear to state: "Madonna is a great choice. She gets out there and struts her stuff. The song she does is great, too. She said, `Don`t worry, I won`t let you down,` and I said, `Okay,` and she hasn`t." Rumour also has it that Pierce asked for Madonna to be kept away from the set when he shot his steamy love scenes with the other Bond girl, Halle Berry, although the actor has vehemently denied it: "Keep Madonna away? Oh no, dear Madonna. Listen, I`m a big fan of Madonna`s before you say anything else. I think she`s dynamite."
 
and Author Richard Cohen had this to say 'At 8 a.m. I am backstage looking at the previous day’s rushes on one of the monitors when I become aware of an eerie silence on set. Soon the reason becomes clear: Madonna -- Mrs. Ritchie (not “Madge,” the nickname she abhors) -- has arrived. She wanders nonchalantly across the fencing room dressed in a black Versace outfit that includes a figure-hugging corset, which Bond will later be asked to do up for her. Her black leotard is so skintight it looks like cling film. Her arms, muscular as a gymnast’s, are bare, and as she saunters across stage she casually licks a red lolly. Everyone is looking at her.
A few minutes pass, then Brosnan appears, and the two stars eye each other, like boxers weighing who has the heavier punch. Madonna is playing the part of Verity, the club’s head coach. Originally, she was to have been one of Bond’s ex-girlfriends, but she chafed at being his castoff, and on-set gossip has it that she rewrote both her lines and his, remodeling herself as a lesbian, beyond Bond’s reach. She brightly refers to “my innuendo scene,” and it is soon clear why.
I am positioned just off camera as Bond strides in and asks if he can have a lesson from her. Madonna is standing with her back to him, observing Miranda (Rosamund Pike) fence Graves, but turns to answer him. Bond points his epee at her, and when she raises her own sword to parry, he evades it. “I see you know how to handle your weapon well,” Madonna says appreciatively, catching his blade and pushing it away. “I have been known to raise my tip from time to time,” Brosnan replies.
Madonna, though physically adept, has trouble with the moves, and the scene requires several takes. As the two stars stand around waiting for the camera to be set up again, they talk easily. What subject do they discuss so avidly? They are comparing notes about old people’s homes. Then Madonna turns to fencing. “Have you had a go at this?” she asks. “It’s great. Gives you a wonderful workout.” Brosnan looks unconvinced.
“Right. Next take,” an assistant director breaks in. By now, after several attempts, Madonna is handling her epee with real deftness. When the director finally says he is satisfied, she walks past me and I say, inanely, “You could become a good fencer, you know.” She gives me the briefest of glances.
“Gee, wow!” she says.
It is 5 p.m. and she has been on set for eight hours. Now it’s a wrap. Within three months a London reporter will write, “Fencing has suddenly become fashionable.... Madge has put the official seal of cool on the sport.” And Bond? I ask him where he is off to, now that filming is over. To the South Pacific with his family, he says. No filming, just sun and sand. “Won’t that upset your fencing training?” I ask. “Fencing?” he says and laughs, “I don’t plan to handle a sword ever again, if I can help it.”
