Looking at the cover, it doesn't seem like the same images, but it may be outtakes from that photo shoot as we see a similar cap on the cover here:

Yes, I'm glad you dived into this more.  I touched on this a little bit, earlier on in the thread.  But, I didn't post all the pics from the initial album shoot.  You've provided more info behind it.  So thanks again.  Feel free to update this thread with more Debut album info, pics and insight you have!

Warner Europe (WEA) insisted that Rusty Egan (of Visage fame and DJ at the very influential New Romantic club Blitz in London in the early 80's) remixed the track for the UK market. It was remixed at famous Trident Studios with Steve Short as sound engineer and released in a plain all black sleeve in February 1983. Madonna did not like the result.  After trying to make the best of it, in an early 1983, she finally said what she really thought about this remix in her first interview for THE FACE magazine a few weeks later when that remix flopped.

In July 1985, Madonna performed at Live Aid.  One of the songs she performed was her classic hit song, "Holiday":

Let's begin to celebrate with our stories and encounters of Madonna when we first heard her for the "very first time"? 

Hope you don't mind. I'm gonna clean up the title a bit and feature the thread.
