Pure ART.

Like A Virgin (the song) turns 40 on October 31, (The album) on November 12.

It was such an iconic moment in Madonna's career when everything suddenly happened and she became the HIT girl!
It all started at the Keith Haring birthday party (called The Party of Life) on May 16 at The Paradise Garage New York where Madonna could already showcase both the title track and Dress You Up in an advance of 6 months to the actual release of the album delayed due to the late success of Lucky Star on the US billboard charts that August 1984.
 
So what follows that May 1984 is Madonna's face becoming more and more familiar to Mtv viewers which starts playing Borderline and Lucky Star non stop and interviewing her. Up until August 84 when Madonna attends a NYC music seminar immortalized by Mtv as well...
 
Finally up to September 14 1984 when the world would get face to face to Madonna's powerful sexy performance of Like A Virgin at the very first Mtv Video Music awards (well as we know we also got face to face to her panties!)
 
The Like A Virgin album produced by Chic's Nile Rodgers would be presented at a New York City party (guest would include Jean Michel Basquiat, Warhol, Keith Haring, John Jellybean Benitez Madonna's then boyfriend etc) on November 7, 1984 at the Private Eyes nightclub.

During December 1984 Madonna also took Uk by storm performing Like A Virgin on Top Of ThE Pops , but what would follow in 1985 would be a roar turning every girl on the planet into a Madonna wannabe filled with laces, bras, rubber bracelets and most of all crucifixes... the Madonna mania was just exploding taking Madonna to promote the album in Japan and in April to a North American tour (The Virgin tour).
 
as for the single ...

Feel free to add anything such as sensations, videos and lots of love and appreciation on Madonna's Iconic Like A Virgin era
 

Madonna and Like a Virgin

I agree. But I always need the bridge between them (Vogue - Justify My Love - Rescue Me).

Has Promised here are all the clips the auction house would send me

Using "Youlean Loudness Meter" software:
"Vogue (from Celebration)": 
Momentary Max = -4.62 LUFS Short Term Max = -5.80 LUFS Integrated = -8.81 LUFS "Hung Up (from Celebration)":
 Momentary Max = -4.29 LUFS Short Term Max = -6.35 LUFS Integrated = -8.52 LUFS  
In DB: 
formula: dB = LUFS + 23
Vogue:
Momentary Max (-4.62 LUFS): -4.62 + 23 = 18.38 dB Short Term Max (-5.80 LUFS): -5.80 + 23 = 17.20 dB Integrated (-8.81 LUFS): -8.81 + 23 = 14.19 dB Hung Up:
Momentary Max (-4.29 LUFS): -4.29 + 23 = 18.71 dB Short Term Max (-6.35 LUFS): -6.35 + 23 = 16.65 dB Integrated (-8.52 LUFS): -8.52 + 23 = 14.48 dB These values represent the sound levels in decibels relative to the maximum digital level (Full Scale).
-------------------------------------------
On TIDAL, there's always an option to "normalize" songs to ensure they play at the same level. For my compilations stored on a hard drive, I use wavegain to adjust all the tracks to the same volume as the "Like a Prayer" album (for example, "Vulgar" sounds as loud as "Express Yourself").
 You might wonder why I use the same volume level as the "Like a Prayer" album to 'normalize' my compilations. It's because it's the last Madonna album that features the highest possible volume with no dynamic range compression.

THE ONLY THING THAT WE CAN GET FOR ANY ANNEVERSAY IS...

 

I agree. And the spanish version is beautiful. But my favorite is the Full Vocal Version (It's the album version without fade out).

Back then, I didn't realize that nearly all of my favorite singles from different artists had been remixed by Shep until much later. So I sometimes wondered if I was really a fan of Madonna or Shep Pettibone. He had a way of taking a great song and transforming it into a masterpiece, and not just with Madonna. 
Without Shep, I might not have become a Madonna fan, as it was his remix of 'Express Yourself' that drove me wild and made me a die-hard fan of hers.

I love "Causing A Commotion", it sure is in my Top 5 Madonna songs. But yes, the album version is rather weak.

BUT the Silver Screen Single Mix is a perfect example for the talents of Shep Pettibone. He took the Stephen Bray production to a new level. Similar to his remixes of "Into The Groove" and "Where's The Party", he adds his magic without changing the music too much.

Of course he would later do the same to "Express Yourself" (7" Remix and Local Mix), but he outdid himself with the Non-Stop Express Mix IMO.

As many of you know, the Movie House Mix Edit is actually an edit of the Silver Screen Mix. I've decided to create a genuine edit using the Movie House Mix. I hope you enjoy the final result.

I cannot help believing that that the precious CDr that Bertrand graciously shared (https://www.discogs.com/release/27048402-Madonna-Various-Remixes-CD-1) was one of many others... I fuzzily remember a photo with many cdrs like this one along time ago in an ebay auction, but the photo was taken from afar and I couldn't decypher the titles (I'm sure I have the photo downloaded, it's either in one of my HDD or lost in one of my too many dead HDDs)... if there is a number 1 why not more??... Wasn't it warner's plan to archive her back catalog. Since the remix edit of La Isla Bonita and the LP version (the US promo 7'') are included on this archive comp, why not the US promo 7'' of OYH (with LP version and Edit of Extended version retitled remix in the UK) on another one?? And why they haven't leaked... I don't have the answer...So many marvels have not leaked and we know some collectors have them... Maybe one day...

Just listened to both rips, back to back and no, I'm sorry but the yellow cd is way inferior in quality to the 1989 cd!!..
