History is bonus track material at best. Push is much more interesting and it fits the mood of the album better, whether one likes it or not is a different matter .. 

Push is a song that I feel was necessary for the lyrics. That doesn't make it a great song, but I don't think I'd swap it out for History. Now, I Love New York on the other hand...

Can't wait! I saw in London (fev 12)
 
 

I call them Forbidden Love (In Your Arms) and Forbidden Love (Just One Kiss), the latter being my fave.

by whom? no one official has confirmed any collaboration. just an interest and an interest to contact Madonna. i dont find "popjustice" blog a reliable source. you said they were "before" but what would that be? hunches and patching things together after many confirmed reports doesnt make them reliable. it just means they were paying attention like this possible collab. anyone of us can post a blog doing the same.
i guess come November will have to see what comes of this. pardon me for being skeptical when someone pops out of the no where by suddenly making claims as facts when there is no true source mentioned with their comments. 

contact me when you have the money for that bridge I'm selling. LOL!

It’s incredibly problematic in terms of artistic and intellectual property. 

I call them Forbidden Love (In Your Arms) and Forbidden Love (Just One Kiss), the latter being my fave.

True Blue....fantastic singles....horrible filler.

Even as far back at Virgin Tour, the vocals were edited for release. The only Madonna show we have where the vocals were entirely live from start to finish are the soundboards of Virgin Tour and the live broadcasts of WTG.

I just looked at the comments for that post (always read the comments, kids!) and discovered THE jacket was sold at an auction in 2016 for $87,500. Dunno if that's new or old info, but still, that's a lot of money.

A very detailed and informed article about the jacket.

What would Madonna's career have been like without "Ray Of Light"? One thing about her music is that most of it is timeless. To this day, I love "Ray Of Light" as much as the first time I heard it. Same with the video. This song fills me up with the light of the sky in an electric way. What was your first time hearing "Ray Of Light" like? What do you remember? Is this song and video still relevant and will it always be? To Ray Of Light..."a little piece of heaven".
On This Day In Billboard Dance History: Madonna Shined a 'Ray of Light' on Clubland
Incredibly, 50 Madonna songs have reached No. 1 on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart, giving her the distinction of the artist with the most No. 1s on this survey. But only one of these tracks started in the folk world before entering the club scene.
No. 1 on the chart 22 years ago today (July 1), "Ray of Light" was an adaptation of the 1971 song "Sepheryn" by English folk duo Curtiss Maldoon. The song entered Madonna's field of awareness more than two decades later, when English musician and producer William Orbit sent her a version of the song -- renamed "Ray Of Light" and performed by the niece of one of the members of Curtiss Maldoon -- to consider for inclusion on her upcoming album.
Madonna liked it, and together with Orbit, she revamped the lyrics, updated the instrumentation and sped the BPM way up. By the time the song was released as the title track from Madonna's 1998 LP, the minor folk hit had been transformed into a synth-laden electronica anthem that would become both one of the biggest hits of Madonna's career and reflect who the pop queen had become by the late 90s. The reworked lyrics of the second chorus explored themes related to motherhood and spirituality, as her daughter Lourdes had been born two years prior, and Madonna had begun her exploration of Eastern mysticism and Kabbalah during this same period.
"This album is reflective of where I am in my life right now--in terms of my musical interests and in terms of my personal beliefs," Madonna told Billboard in 1998. "I feel like I've been enlightened, and that it's my personal responsibility to share what I've learned so far with the world."
Effectively, she completed this sharing by making people dance. While her previous LP, 1994's Bedtime Stories, had included slowed-down R&B tracks like "Take a Bow" and "Secret," "Ray of Light" spread its message of love and positivity via its embrace and expansion of the late '90s electronica genre, at that point being explored by scene stars like Moby, Björk, Underworld and more.
"I've been a fan of all kinds of electronic music for many years," Madonna said in the same Billboard interview, "and I wanted to incorporate that sound into my music."
Indeed, while many of Madonna's biggest hits -- "Vogue," "Like a Prayer," "Like a Virgin" -- certainly worked in nightclubs, the song's styles and structures firmly embedded them in the pop world. But with "Ray Of Light," Madonna was not simply making pop music that would work in the clubland, but music aesthetically connected to the roots of the genre, taking particular influence from the acid house that was a staple of the '90s underground rave scene.
Altogether, it got bodies moving around the globe. “Ray Of Light” spent four weeks at No. 1 on Dance Club Songs chart, from the charts dated June 20, 1998, through July 11. This run makes the song one of her longest leaders – “Holiday/Lucky Star” spent five weeks at No. 1 in 1983, “Music” later spent five weeks in this position in 2000, “Like a Virgin” spent four weeks in 1984-85 and “Hung Up” spent four weeks in the top spot in 2005.
"Ray of Light" was the second of three No. 1 Dance Club Songs singles from the Ray of Light album, after “Frozen” (2 weeks, April-May ’98) and before “Nothing Really Matters” (2 weeks, March ’99). Her 20th No. 1 on the chart, the song's lauded video was directed by Jonas Åkerlund, who had directed the infamous clip for The Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up." Meanwhile, the song won the 1999 Grammy for best dance recording, while the album won that year's best pop album trophy. Those two awards, along with the other one she won that evening, were the first audio Grammy awards of her career.
The 1999 Grammys ceremony was a long way from the underground club scene, and in fact even further away from the English folk world. Yet all of these musical stepping stones had helped Madonna create a song that remains one of the brightest lights of her enduring career.

It’s always seemed clear to me that there is one particularly obvious mindset that rules Madonna’s intellectual property: legacy products hinder current projects from a commercial perspective, and distract from the her evolutionary artistic vision . I think that has always been the attitude Madonna has taken regarding retrospective releases. Add to that the simple and unfortunate fact that sales of physical and digital content have dwindled over the past decade or so, and you quickly understand why these projects never came to fruition. It’s true that it can seem like Madonna has total disregard for her commercial legacy, but as with everything, there is a paradoxical element to her reasoning, and this is something we will never be able to understand without her explaining herself and the circumstances of contractual fulfillment. The likelihood of that ever happening is practically nil as she also fiercely guards her privacy in matters related to personal and business finances. 
 
If you consider artists like Barbra Streisand who have always maintained a strong core fanbase, you can also see where the reasoning behind the withholding of rare and unreleased material comes from. Her tv specials were highly sought after and were eventually released on DVD, the favored format at the time, in 2005; that’s over 40 years into her recording career. These concerts and tv specials were then added to Netflix as part of an exclusive deal in 2018, but frustratingly removed a year later! In other words, business is far more complicated than artistry, which is why to conflate the two inevitably leads to further head scratching! 
 
It’s also worth noting that much of the fan frustration is based upon expectation and fantasy...For example, there is a specific version of the Blond Ambition Tour that they want to see released; the Paris footage from Truth or Dare. However, the product is commercially available in other formats in some markets, and has been for years in a variety of markets with different copyright laws. A quick visit to YouTube also shows that Madonna has no problem with multiple recordings of that tour being available to stream at no cost whatsoever. Whether it has anything to do with distribution rights or a lack of desire to play wack-a-mole remains to be seen. This also applies to unreleased music. When you’ve been the victim of sabotage and theft to the degree that Madonna has, is it any wonder that she doesn’t care about giving her fans “Warning Signs”?!
