  1. I remember when HMV sold these yellow discs 3 for £10 back in the early 2000s, I managed to get quite a few of them.

    Yes, I bought a few of them from HMV with that deal. If I'd known they'd become valuable I'd have bought all of them I could find.

    Sadly they are quite shoddy, not just in terms of sound. The Cherish and Open Your Heart sleeves, for example, are covered in visible dust specks from where the original artwork was badly scanned. And there's the infamous "White Heart" b-side too.

  2. Yes, this is one of the fascinating things about Madonna. However, I think there are two periods in her life that she has always been nostalgic and willing to reminisce about: her early childhood before and immediately after her mother's death, and her early years in New York. But, yes, she seems to be looking back on even more parts of her life recently.
    I think we sometimes get the impression that Madonna has forgotten her past because she so rarely talks about it, but she remembers everything! For example, there was that interview for Attitude Magazine in 2005 when the interviewer asked her all sorts of "geeky fan" questions about obscure recordings such as Queen's English and her old demos, amongst other things, and she could immediately recall all the details.

    Remember when she said she would never sing Material Girl again and regretted recording it but later admitted she was wrong to have that attitude and instead embraced the song all over again.

    Really? When did she have her change of heart? Even on the RIT she still seemed quite reluctant to sing Material Girl, with comments like "I forget the words to this one" or "And I am a material girl... (not really!)".

  3. My OCD couldn't cope with their inconsistent labeling and wrong cover art anyway. It would go something like this:

    Justify My Love

    Vogue (The Remixes)

    Like a Prayer - Remixes

    Music (Remixes) - EP

    Frozen - EP

    Etc etc. Like a Prayer would use the single cover for the maxi-single. Music would use the album cover. And then the "Single version" of Vogue would probably be the I'm Breathless version.

    Lol so true. And don't forget the badly-scanned cover art and spelling mistakes too.

  4. Madonna never has and never will put music out SHE FEELS is "half baked".

    I don't think Madonna is too proud to be critical of her past work or learn lessons from her mistakes. For example, in that interview for GHV2 she said:

    I had to be able to listen to them five times in a row and think this is really good, this is a well written song, it's really well produced. I can honestly say not all my songs have been, some are better than others, that's all there is to it.

    I'm glad she's taking her time to get it right. Erotica started being developed in July 1991 so it's not unprecedented for a Madonna album to take this long until release.

  5. My god. I read so much dumb shit in this thread...!!!! WTF ???!!!!

    "so-called legend" ????

    "artsy type" ???

    Go back to dance music, for god sake if that's what you like! Stop raining on everyone's parade. You don't like her. Fine. You don't know her. Fine. But stop making a fool of yourself.

    And I agree with Popeline: your lack of culture is terribly sad to see.

    Kate Bush is not a typical artist with an unusual career. Her interest are wider that just music. She's experimental.

    :thumbsup: Exactly! If Kate Bush isn't your cup of tea, that's fine. But spare us the ignorant "critiques" that simply demonstrate how you've never actually paid any attention to her work. It's the equivalent of when people say that Madonna can't sing or dance well and her career is based on publicity and taking her clothes off.

    Is that a hotel room on stage? Gang Bang rip-off! :laugh:

    No, I think it's supposed to be her son and husband in her living room at home.
