DoneGone got a reaction from Leona Helmsley in FEELING NOSTALGIC TODAY........
One of the best Solo Spice singles ever. Shame the whole album, while nice and with good moments, wasn't on the same level really.
It's gonna be released on vinyl for Record Store Day this year, by the way:

DoneGone got a reaction from HYMY in I'm trying to figure out the source of that spoken word version of Die Another Day?
Yep, it's originally on the vocal track (not included on the final version, except for the spoken bits we know) and was actually used in some of the official remixes.

DoneGone got a reaction from PlayPause in Why is it so difficult now to find download links for Madonna's first 4 albums and I
Sadly it just the way it goes. The remasters usually become the new main ones and the originals are left behind. Which is a pity.
The 2001 Madonna remasters became the standard editions for those three first albums, and mastering is very different from the originals.
"True Blue" is even worse cause with the 35th digital edition it got an even louder worse mastering and every digital edition of the album was updated with that one.
I'm not against remasters per se, but always keeping the originals, especially on streaming. I don't like the rewriting history part of that when the just upload the new files and delete the originals.
As fas as I know, only Qobuz now has the first 4 albums in their original form/mastering:

DoneGone got a reaction from kokobananas in Does anyone have a transcript of the words in the Living for Love interlude? It sound
It's not Bob The Drag Queen, it's Prince! It's the spoken intro from his 1984 song (and hit) "Let's Go Crazy", from the "Purple Rain" album.

DoneGone reacted to PlayPause in Why isn't this available on Spotify?
Yeah, it's greyed out for me too, but I don't know where @Confessions Lightsideis talking from.

DoneGone got a reaction from Adonna in Why isn't this available on Spotify?
The whole album was available officially on every digital platform for years until it was removed around 2016-2017, no one knows why.
Since it was M's first live album and rare for her at the time, maybe its release was some kind of one-off deal with Warner with that and the rights expired or something. But they had together after that the "Confessions" and "Sticky" live albums too, and those are still available, so I don't know.

DoneGone reacted to Adonna in anyone know why theres that stupid black bar at the top of self titled's artwork? its
@PrayerSo I must be thinking of when I've seen the actual image a zillion times without the bar throughout the internet. For instance when you google Madonna's debut album cover, there are images where the bar is cropped out.

@tscottThe black bar is part of the original design. It's not that someone forgot to crop it out, the designer decided to do it that way - hence the inclusion on the inner sleeve too.

@tscott I was checking Discogs and it was on every edition of the album, even on the cassette:

@PrayerI agree with it being part of the original design. I just thought there were copies without, but maybe I'm mistaking? I looked at my CD and it has the black bar as well. And yeah, I don't believe someone "forgot to crop it out" either. As you said, it's on the inner sleeve as well.
