Love Attack and Show and Tell?

I just read on Wiki that an excerpt of Love Attack leaked.

I knew about "Show and Tell", but I thought it was fake, because most of the latest demo lists doesn't mention it. However, we have this information about it:

"1992 SHOW AND TELL Unconfirmed throw-a-way from "Erotica" album. Media rumor. However, Peter Magennis <peter_magennis@hotmail.com> mentions that in 1992, NME magazine had a two-part interview for the release of 'Erotica'. The journalist visited Madonna at her New York apartment and listened to some tracks from the (then still unreleased) album. One of the tracks was confirmed as 'Show And Tell' and was described as a ballad. Perhaps it didn't finish up on the album because it didn't fit the mood. Madonna can be very selective and quality tracks can be easily discarded if they don't fit in with the tone of the album. A prime example of her rejection of recorded songs is her last album 'Music' as confirmed by William Orbit and Madonna herself. So perhaps this is what happened with 'Show And Tell'. This is a pity as Madonna obviously liked it enough to chose it as one of the few taster tracks for the lucky journalist."

Revenge was a throw away.  Wasn't it part of the Ray of Light era?  Her best non-used demo ever.

The NME interview took place August 15th, Fever was already recorded and played for the interviewer. So Bad Girl was already completed by this time…

plus in part 2 of the interview, Shep comments on the meaning of Bad Girl

thanks for the info, I don't remember reading the interview so I didn't know all the details
