Or she just pressed make private button after too many glasses of rose lol!

i have it. since there's no other way to have it physically i'm happy with it

50 bucks for a fan made disc the guy probably downloaded for free (maybe from a forum like this one)? 
Anyway, in case you decide to go for it, avoid any fan made material from the Brazilian "madworld" blog. The guy who runs that crap downloads everything from various forums and sell them as "exclusive". 
Good luck.

I don't have time to organize it right now with the holidays and all, it's a lot of work to set up and keep track of
I'll do it if @club78boy does the same with his cassette
If he doesn't, well.... I might do it anyway, but no promises.

Christmas miracles happen....as I check the forum hourly, lol

Ok, here's my "review" of the tape:
1. Erotica - this is the final, polished version of the demo we know from the LOC tapes.
2. Waiting - sounds very much like the album version but with many changes. more samples of "Waiting... For You" throughout, Completely unique vocal ab libs towards the end. This also fades out (if memory serves the final has a piano ending)
3. Rain - Very close to the final album version except this has the double verse at the end "stand out on the mountain top..." there is also no rain effects the end
4. Deeper And Deeper - very similar to the LOC tape. No backing vocals and possibly a different vocal take. I'd need to do some comparing
5. Thief Of Hearts - similar to one of the final LOC demos, includes some unique backing vocals/harmonies, also has the "thief.. thief... thief of hearts" section at the end. Ends like the album version but much more reverb on the spoken vocals.
6. Bad Girl - similar to the LOC tape, demo vocal, repeated first verse in place of the second verse. this has backing vocals/harmonies.
7. Why's It So Hard - completely different and unique! The music is much more reggae inspired and "raw." Somewhat different structure in terms of the vocal placement. Includes the male vocals with some extra spoken bits not used in the final mix. Demo vocal from M and cold ending with male vocals
8. Where Life Begins - much clearer vocals and more basic music. The saxophone is quite prominent and loud! Vocals are an alternate take with unheard adlibs.
9. In This Life - interesting bass line, this seems like an early version of the final mix. more evolved than the LOC version, but not quite there yet. Demo vocal. spoken vocals seem to have the same "phone" effect as Bye Bye Baby vocals.
10. Words - such a fun mix! this has the final version production with many changes: completely unheard, unique intro, no spoken parts or typing effects. 
11. Bye Bye Baby - similar to the final version. different instrumentation throughout. interesting, different samples in the spoken end part - feels more "hip hop" than the final mix. Same ending without the "you fucked it up"
12. Secret Garden - this sounds like the demo we have, that leaked with Dear Father
13. Goodbye To Innocence - this is a version of the LOC mix, but completely different and unique. New vocal take and it includes the final vocals "say goodbye..." lots of new harmonies throughout. pretty different to the LOC version and no where near the demo that sounds closer to Fever.
14. Shame - unique mix to the LOC tape. music is way more evolved and has a funkier beat added to the music we are familiar with. Sounds like a new lead vocal.
 
and there you have it!

me running back and forth between 3 threads hoping to hear something new before the end of the yr

A $100 is steep, I'm a teacher, lol. Teachers are broke in the US.  However, I'd be in if the amount is lowered. 

So was I!  I used to buy so much from him, from his DVD's etc. 

I wish they would release it!
I'd buy this version! 

We wait until Christmas day. Not much else to talk about

I'm down. I'd fkn donate

What do we have to do to hear this song, or better yet, the whole tape?
Can we do a crowdfunding or something? I’m serious. So much discussion and teases happen every now and then with nothing to come out of it. Let’s do something.

We're almost there guys!!!!.

I fucking love Celebration the song!!!

So what you’re saying is that you want them to reissue only the rare things you don’t have in your collection 😂
Im sorry to break it to everyone here who’s complaining about them reissuing things but this is a REISSUES campaign. So most of the stuff is gonna be just that, stuff that was already released back in the day. Peppered with the occasional unreleased material. 
And honestly they do try harder than other artists who had a reissues campaign. 
Mariah fans would love something similar to FEL. Good or bad, we are getting a new cover for RSD. The Erotica picture disc is one of the rarest picture discs ever made. And the WTG Super Club Mix is such a fun release and sounds amazing. 

If they did that everyone would bitch and moan about the choice of covers lol

I'll buy it anyway. I'm a collector, i love vinyls, so i'll buy a single copy to open it and play it. U don't like it/don't agree with it? Simple: don't buy it 😊

My favorite store on earth. Lol

Thank you!!! 

Check Lucky Records, basically a Madonna store! 

It’s also an European thing, they will release Madonna worldwide just like they did with the clear ROL set.

Yes, the $24 is the official one.
