I was there both nights, and personally I think Bitch I'm Madonna is very important in the show. It's like the end of the story. Rain cant be the closing number... for a moment I was expecting another no audio/no lights performance like in Glasgow.
Also, the Billy Jean LAV moment is one of the best interludes shes ever done.
Cut the boring deejay and test the sound system an hour more...

I don’t care about streaming but to me it’s a near perfect collection. I still think cherish shouldn’t be there - should have included who’s that girl instead as the jump from La Isla to LAP just doesn’t gel right to me from a fan perspective plus seeing as she hated cherish I’m surprised she included it at all ? 🤔

Also remember that in 1990 not many were buying cds... it was already a double vinyl.
I started buying cds with Erotica and when I bought the Royal Box I didn't have a cd player.
I too would probably replace Cherish with Who's that girl, which was such a huge hit, but the collection is perfect.

Sire or Maverick?

I dont likey. 

The sound of Anbd is exactly what was popular around 81-82, sounds like aerobic music
I wished they included it on the first album but Steve already sold it to Barracuda band, and it sounds great!
 

Isn’t there an unreleased version of this song ? Steve bray mentioned it in his podcast where he talked about the unreleased stuff …

I love it. I love Everybody (YCD version) but I never liked the album version. Ain’t No Big Deal would have been a better first single.

I don't like it, it is definitely the weakest song from that era for me. 
Cannot understand an obsession of some fans wanting it to be included on the (possible) reissue of her first album. Let's not mix these great tracks with useless b-sides and demos, please. Debut is great as it is. 

The original demo that got her her first Sire contract was better than any of the later studio versions they tried. It got some freshness and cool pop dance quality to it and of course Michael Rosenblatt saw that that sound, plus her quirky image was a cool little killer combo.
I don't love it but it's an essential part of her history. Basically the song that got her in.

I really like it but it's definitely the weakest of her first era
