someone else posted just a raw file
i cleaned up and split the thing [Laura Branigan] myself

I have android only

Just use the Stock Voice Memo-App on iOS/iPhone. It records in lossless and iPhones usually have the best microphones. 🤷🏻‍♂️

No, they are basically the same versions with two semitones down, I prefer it to have live vocals.

it's a tragedy that needs readdressed 

 

Of course she's happy..look at her boyfriend. Sis I feel your happiness ❤️❤️❤️🍆

@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.

@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:

it's a rubber bangle 

I kinda have a feeling that the black bar was like a picture border they forgot to crop out.

Yes most versions I've seen have the bar.  I'm asking if there are without the bar as I've thought I"ve seen copies without as well. You've pretty much answered my question with the Discog link! 

OMG I hate the bar too!  It adds absolutely nothing to the design.

Yes, getting rid of bugs is a few hundred/thousand quid (if you do it right). Location is priceless in the long run. 

I just drag and drop them in Audacity (if it says unrecognised format or something, install ffmpeg) and export them as 5.1 FLACs. But honestly, Popular and Vulgar were not worth the effort, they're about as spacial as the Celebration DVD videos were.

Yes, it's amazing she looked into it. Of course I Love New York is a relic of this intention.
Some bits of COADF come from demos written for the Luc Besson musical that never was, which reportedly travelled through genres and decades. Rock music was part of it, probably with Bowie in mind of course. And I recall interviews from the Confessions era in which she credited Iggy Pop as an influence.

I think it may be a direction she was dipping her toes into. I Love New York (demo) has the vibe but it seems after her musical projects were cancelled, she turned a lot of the material meant for that into songs that wound up on Confessions.

@Chris still on standby. If we can get through tomorrow without evacuation we might be ok. Rain is forecast for 5 days starting Friday. It's all so nerve wrecking. 200 structures and homes destroyed so far. No casualties thank God

good luck!! any developments since? 

still waiting. I realize as Ive been packing my Madonna/Mariah/Kylie that really it is not normal to have a collection this massive. I am a crazy person. lol
Rain coming on Friday and will supposedly rain til next week. I wish it were today.

Welcome to TrulyInfinity forum. 😆

@Chris theres a member here who loves using the word truly a little too much

Idk but I believe Depeche Mode and Madonna met before. It was during the Blond Ambition Tour afterparty in Los Angeles when she invited them after the show. But Alan Wilder told the press that they were ignored by her.
