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!!.. 

The tears are coz I was hoping we'd get the masters from the Warner stars series, I've always preferred the sound of the Silver Screen mix on this remix compilation (https://www.discogs.com/master/151819-Madonna-Into-The-Groove-Whos-That-Girl-Causing-A-Commotion), clearly superior to the yellow cd series one, to my ears at least, the sound is brighter, less muffled..The yellow is acceptable, but sub par to the audio quality of the 1989 cd... Just my opinion. 
But maybe the EP I found on the net is not the one I'll get by midnight here in france, keepin my fingers crossed tightly tbh. 

Just arrived here in france.. Same as the Sharemania files I dled earlier...   

I agree, they're ok.. better than most of the yellow serie, just not as good as should be, if the 1989 cd has this great sounding mix of CAC, I'm sure the other mixes do exist somewhere in the same quality, that's what I was hoping for this EP... but maybe I've dled a fake EP, I'll find out by midnight. Same goes for WTG remix on this very 1989 warner star cd, digital level quality. Only ITG is not great on this cd, guess they culled it from the EU 1985 LAV rerelease master which is not the best IMO.

Straight pass is the version before they gay it up. 
I just love all the CAC remixes, Madonna's first foray in house music. They really are the pivotal point regarding remixes in her discography, until CAC they mostly were extended versions and dubs, she gave us two remixes and a dub. Also this was the first time Junior Vasquez worked for her officially as Pettibone right hand. 
I don't know in which interview from 1987 the journalist states she was listening to the remixes full blast, that was like while she was touring. 
edit : It was Chicago Tribune but it is not how i remember it. She was the one mentionning listening to CAC but not the remixes specifically 🫤 my bad

Revenge and GGG sound like Mozart compared to some of the material she's released in the last 15 years. Her vocals, the emotion and melody are all there. I'm sure you would all gag for them and the Offer Nissim Sarcophagus 12" Anthem mixes of said tracks had she released them. 

I wonder if we would have gotten a cheesier, trancier version of ROL in '96 if not for Mehvita. I'm sure I would have loved every bit of it. 

YES.

It's not REMASTERED/BOOSTED/F**ED UP. Thank God.
Sounds gloriously QUIET.

The live rendition of PM that is on one of the several cd singles released ? I love the acordeon she added live, that's how she did it when i saw her.
I forgot they already uploaded Secret remixes without LDYG i thought it could be next.

It would be nice to have them all in digital but the two that should really have been available in digital form ages ago are Burning Up (since it's the original album version and the version a lot of us heard first because of the First album reissue) and Open You Heart 7inch mix. The other ones are promo mixes so i can understand why they forgot about them but those two should have been curated because they are the versions people who were there remember.
But yes we should definitely have them all in digital somewhere. The Fever and Rescue Me promo remixes...and some 7inch edits of the Ray Of Light singles (drowned world, nothing really matters). But we definitely are lucky compared to Prince or Björk, a lot of their best remixes are not available online (the Orbit remixes of The Future or the Disco Synch version of Bachelorette) Sade has no b-sides available so tracks like Spirit are still unavailable in digital. Hopefully next month we'll have Let down your guard.

Does Justify My Love (The English Mix)
and
Vogue (Sheps on the fly Dub)
count?

I remember when i was a kid, a friend of my elder sister brought me the cassette single of CAC as a gift (because i made a mixtape of french pop songs for her american friend) from the US (before my family moved there) and i was so surprised by the single version which i wasn't expecting to be different and i adored it right away contrary to the album version. Yes i still have it. 😁 

Just for fun I've edited the extended remixes of these songs to be similar to their album versions. They sound almost identical to the album versions, but they have new elements or instruments not available in the album versions.

Same reason you hate gays with moustaches?

Someone piss on your cocopops?

Can we try and keep on topic please. Pages and pages of absolute bollocks and nothing to do with single reissues. 

Do you know the real issue with MDNA @Adonna? Because I’m tired of ignoring the elephant in the room. The album came out during a fierce rivalry with another singer who was being called the "new Madonna" (I refuse to say her name). Many fans were expecting MDNA to be the album that would kick that singer’s ass, allowing Madonna to reclaim her original throne. When the album couldn't do it (with no clear hits and dropping like a rock on the sales charts), that's when they started to tear MDNA apart (not to mention there was already a group ready to tear the album apart in defense of this "new Madonna").
To ignore this is to miss the real reason behind some fans' hatred toward MDNA. Madonna didn’t care about that rivalry and made the album she wanted to make.

Absolutely not! Jimmy Jimmy isnt about empowering yourself but both Cherish and Superstar are practically drowning in sugar syrup from how sweet they both are!
 
Btw i love shoobeedoo as well 😭😭😭 i think had it been titled differently, reaction to it would be better. LAV is definitely my fav 80s Madonna album. I love every song on it!!!
