In November’s breeze, a classic will play,
Open Your Heart streams, brightening your day.
With rhythms that charm and beats that excite,
The single’s arrival feels just right.

You are right!, I check CAC and indeed is copyrighted (2 weeks ago, if i am right)

I will be very disappointed if the Movie House Edit isn't included.

Seriously, I would kill (figuratively) to have the untouched master of 'It's That Girl,' at least on a yellow CD. It's been almost 40 years, and the poor master is rotting away in some corner of WEA UK.

60?!? Shut your filthy mouth

I will NEVER stop defending "The Look Of Love".
That middle 8 alone... glorious.

YESSS! Who's That Girl (Extended Version) is copyrighted!

@planetbenjamindo you know anything about a June release or something? Thanks even if you don't answer or say something about it

thanks so much!!!! love so much this cover!!!!

Quick concept I made...

THE VINYL ONLY MIXES OF I'll REMEMBER are also coming! 

Yasssssss our manifestation worked!

True, and I do wish she was more prominent in the later choruses, but she does have the entire second verse to herself. And she's in very good voice.

Someone needs to hack it and put even a mouse fart in the latest release instead

All I want for Christmas is...
The effing "Sorry" BLOND:ISH remixes EP to get out FOREVER from Madonna's "Latest Release" spot on Spotify and Apple Music.
It's been there since August 16th. Sigh.
I'd take anything. ANYTHING, even "Santa Baby" Sickick remix.

Not necessarily. But you have a point.
That is possible -- that the single was faded on the fly while the 45 was being mastered, and then the fade would only be on the cutting master (a backup tape dub made during the disc cutting process so the necessary EQ adjustments to get it sounding good on vinyl would not have to be redone on future pressings).  I've wondered if that's what happened with the digital version of "Holiday," as it has a longer fade. 
 

I'm going to go out on a limb and say I think it's quite possible that the 7" version of "Lucky Star" on this new download COULD be a recreation.
It's a very good recreation, if so... they seem to have gotten all the edit points perfect. However, the fadeout decays faster on my 45, on the "It's That Girl" tape, and on the audio ripped from my "Immaculate Collection" laserdisc than it does on this new digital version.
To test this, I synced up the download with a dub of my 45 in an audio editor, then muted the download's right stereo channel and muted the vinyl 45's left stereo channel -- so the download was playing in my left ear and the 45 playing in my right. Then I got both tracks at the same volume so the sound was centered in the headphones and listened to them in sync to listen for differences between the channels.
The edit points seem to be perfect, everything seems perfect, until the fadeout. At 3:42, on "star bright," the sound starts to shift towards the stereo channel containing the digital download, and it's quite a bit louder by the time we reach "you make everything all right"... which means the digital version is louder during the fadeout than on the 45. Then at the very tail end of the fade, it suddenly shifts back towards the other channel.
Now, if the download was consistently the same volume or quieter than the vinyl is during the fade, I would think nothing of it -- engineers "help" a fade all the time when remastering tracks, to make the tape hiss less noticeable as the volume gets lower at the end of the song. But the opposite is true in this case... the volume on the digital version fades out (decays) more slowly than on the 45.
And speaking of tape hiss, that's another tipoff: there's no audible tape hiss at end of the song at all, unless you crank up the sound by about 15 decibels. This song was recorded on analogue tape and the volume gets very low at the tail end of the fade. There should be at least some tape hiss audible through headphones during the last couple seconds. There's not. This indicates to me that it's a digitally recreated fade, not a fade originated in the analogue realm.
It's possible there's another explanation for all this, so please tell me if there is.

my favorite single cover. Just Perfection 

I'm not worried. She's tough as nails. But glad to hear she's back at home and I wish her a speedy recovery.

I dont think it was a homophobic comment, just and personal point of view lol... I must admit I dont particularly like the guy

you are definitely talking to the wrong person. I am not homophobic and that comment was about him not his sexual preference. buzz off.
sorry i had to edit, a flaming queen such as myself being called homophobic is some funny GAY shit.
