It worries me greatly with the supposed deluxe editions coming soon, that they're failing to source the masters for the original 1984 edits of Borderline and Lucky Star. They are both still vinyl only. All compilations have used Q sound mixes since then. Makes me wonder if they can't locate the original masters. So my question is, will they appear on a Deluxe Edition of Madonna in the future? Didn't someone find the multi tracks for Borderline and Lucky Star discarded in a skip back in the day.

Hi y'all!
So this week I started training my own Madonna Diff-SVC model based on her vocals.... I used most of the leaked stems we have... 
I've been training it for over 40hours and It's still far from done but I thought I would share some results.... I think her voice is starting to get pretty recognizable right?

Yeah looking back at the UK Charts for DEC 94 it was top 10 in airplay, A listed at Radio One. So would have been getting played regularly. I too think it was a combination of boring formats (nothing new), General Public would have just bought the Album instead, so close to the Christmas rush, and it was competing with other Ballads at the time, one of which was Think Twice by Celine. R&B wasn't huge in the UK Charts at that time either.
Had it been held back and released mid to end Jan 95 when it was starting to ride high in the US Charts, with some additional tracks on the formats, i think it would have charted better, but may have sold less as it was always quite sales wise in Jan after Christmas.

Burning Up acapella with Burning up Instrumental from this please

Here in the UK as an avid Madonna Fan from the eighties, i remember reading in one of the pop magazines of the time say around 1987, they did a piece on Madonna's Discography up until then and included some info on harder to find tracks. They mentioned that the 3.45 version of Burning up which they referred to as the exclusive video version. It was only available on CD pressings of the First Album. Up until that point, the 4.48 version was available on all UK Vinyl and Cassette pressings of the Album. Needless to say that's why the 4.48 version is NOT available on CD. So whenever the first CD editions of the First Album were released, that's when the 3.45 version was released on any Format other than Video. Not sure when the first pressings of the CD were available in the eighties, 86 perhaps?

After I Found Love: #1’s Remixed, and Rebel Heart (Demo Assembly), it’s time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Madonna’s career with a series of remastered EPs !

These EPs will be released chronologically and regularly (2 eras per week) to be enjoyed progressively. Yes, every single era got the same treatment. Let’s continue with the Music era. You’ll find the tracklists in the second post right below.
While these remasters were initially done and compiled by myself back in late 2020 – early 2021, new mixes (such as the Finally Enough Love ones) and quality upgrades were taken into account since then and are also present here in remastered form.

@clkelley39 If you don't mind me sharing it in your topic (if you do, let me know and I'll change it to a new one) here's a full length version I made using the Edit, Instrumental and Shep's Classic Mix if anyone is interested ;).
(There's also some other nice stuff on the folder as the full length Rain Radio Mix, Fever with Niki Harris backing vocals, Bad Girl Extended Mix Edit...)

Many people complain about the half chorus in "Edit Two", so like other fans I added the full chorus (and I called this version "Edit Three") plus the famous 12'' Intro. 
Enjoy it
WAV, 4:52

A more "album-length" edit of the remix I did a while back. Some people prefer this mix to the Ultraviolet one.

Madonna is an artist. She is also a control freak. She is also very Frugal when it comes to money whether it be spending it or saving it. She hates looking back at past Music Projects. And her relationships / friendships with previous collaborators have either completely broken down or is strained in most cases. Take into the mix that Record companies want to make as much money and also to save as much money too. Those people working for the Record Companies involved at present, weren't around in Madonna's heyday. They may also be fairly uninterested in her music catalogue. And therefore have very poor insight into what is available and where to find it.
 
If you look at each Madonna album, there is a plethora of official mixes, which are still not available digitally or are promo only. Can the master tapes for these mixes be found? Look at past Greatest hit Compilations. Repeated use of Immaculate Collection Versions and newly created cut and paste versions used. Why not use the original masters. Maybe they are lost, stolen or can't be located. Maybe it's more cost effective to reuse readily available and DIY mixes.
 
Finally enough Love 50 number ones is the first taster of what is to come. A great compilation for fans and casual buyers. Everything on it is fairly familiar and easy to obtain, Keep it Together is the only new track. Is it a previously unreleased version or is it a Mike Dean (Madonna didn't like the original outro) re edit. It was probably the most cost-effective way to showcase Madonna's 50 dance number ones on a compilation.
 
If we were to go on this theory and the First Album was to be the next deluxe edition, then the track listing might look like this,
 
CD1
 
Lucky Star (Album version)
Borderline (Album Version)
Burning Up (Common Album Version / Video Version)
I Know It (Album Version)
Holiday (Album Version)
Think Of Me (Album Version)
Physical Attraction (Album Version)
Everybody (Album Version)
 
CD2
 
Lucky Star (US Extended Dance mix)
Borderline (Extended Dance Mix)
Burning Up (12” Version)
Everybody (US Dub Mix)
Borderline (Dub Version)
Everybody (Instrumental)
 
CD3
 
Lucky Star (Replica 7” Version / Edit)
Borderline (7” Version / Edit)
Burning Up (Dance Mix Edit)
Holiday (Edit)
Physical Attraction (Edit)
Everybody (Edit)
Ain't No Big Deal (Reggie Lucas Version)
DVD
 
With remastered videos and throw in a couple of early live performances if they can be brushed up but keep the costs down!
 
Notes
Lucky Star (7” Version / Edit) Have they lost the master tapes? It's never been used since the eighties all versions appearing on Compilations are not it.
Borderline (Remix Edit / It's That Girl Version) A version created specifically for that compilation and can no longer be located, only fans know of its existence)
Burning Up (Original Album Version) just like Lucky Star (Edit) or like Borderline (Remix Edit) only fans know of its existence, is Madonna really going to remember this version after all this time?)
Everybody (UK Remixes) Madonna still thinks they're Sh*t. And doesn't see the point in throwing any money Rusty Egan's way.
Ain't No Big Deal (Reggie Lucas Version) well we already have this version so let's remaster it and put it out again! The other versions are probably lost and have been forgotten about.
Demos made during the recording process. In Madonna's eyes she's an artist and these versions are unfinished and don't sound good enough to be released to the general public. Or they're out there on sharing platforms go there if you want to hear them but we're not going to waste money polishing them up.
Roll on Like A Virgin. Warning signs, Warner's don't even own it. Can the master be located or is it lost / stolen?  Needless to say it's never surfaced after all these years. Madonna probably hates it. Or would have to grovel to Steve Bray to get his permission to use it. And also have to pay him some money in the process.
And it goes on and on...........
