Neither can I! I wonder which album sleeve they will base The Nineties cover on...

Yay! I wish mine would hurry the fuck up.

There has never been a Madonna book free of mistakes. All of the best resources still have a few errors. Hell, even Sex has typos (that is to say nothing of the oddly fused ass cracks.)
Still waiting for my copy of The Eighties to arrive, but from all I've read, the book is exactly what I was wanting. A near-comprehensive discography organized by album and single. Obviously a book for a very specific sect of Madonna fans... probably not for those who care very little or for those who care too much about her music releases.
Apparently there is a full page, 12x12 photo for every single and album, and the few I've seen have all been gorgeous. So, they accidentally displayed the back of a bootleg picture disc of You Can Dance in one of the entries instead of the real one. I'd imagine that other than the maybe five examples mentioned on Tribe that the majority of the information is correct this and this book will make for a nice resource.
More importantly, it will be a fun book to flip through for people like me interested in seeing all of the various international pressings of her music releases and some big, beautiful photos from throughout the eighties.
It's crap and boring, it features bootlegs marketed as official such as the German 12" YCD Promo Picture Disc listed with a picture of the bootleg and the LAV 7" single from Peru with the fake cover listed as a promoNothing amazing or rare, better pictures can be found online of rare items, lucky I didn't order it ha ha
Seeing as you "didn't order it ha ha," have you actually looked at the entire book? Sounds more like you're regurgitating posts from the Tribe forum and my guess would be that you've only seen the same few images as the rest of us. Perhaps you should reserve reviewing it for after you've actually held it in your hands. Thanks.
If it's "crap and boring" I will let you know once my copy arrives.

Lady Gagag is boring.

Mattress, can you please post the Sorry (Radio Version) without the spoken intro and also the Nothing Fails (Radio Edit)
Sure!
Sorry [(US) Radio Version] | download
This was only released on a rare, second US promo CD. Remixed and edited by Stuart Price, this version loses the spoken intro, instead beginning a cappella with the Robodonna "I heard it all before"'s. The middle of the song has only a few of the spoken lines and "forgive me" is placed later in the mix (similar to the video version.)
Radio Version is a confusing name for this mix as most non-US releases of the "Sorry" single refer to the Single Edit version instead as Radio Version. To help distinguish between the two, I refer to this US promo-only mix instead as US Radio Version.
Nothing Fails [Radio Edit] | download
The album version slightly resequenced and edited for single release.

what is the vocal ad lib that's on the rescue me radio mix?
that's what i wanna know hehe
Here is a sound file, first with the entire section (it appears around 11 seconds in) followed by just the ad lib.

I'm really happy for both she and Mercy. Wondaful news.

Jesus Luz with his Nelly Furtado '01 hair.

As for "American Life," I really feel like it's a song best saved for a more comprehensive boxed set release. She has far too many real hits to choose from and as it is many of those are going to have to be sacrificed.
-
That tracklist you compiled with disc 1 all of her US 80s top 5s and disc 2 that left 7 minutes at the end. I wish it WOULD be your tracklisting but I just know I'll be let down.
Color me optimistic. I just hope that they have someone looking into the available masters and aren't slapping this together based on what was previously compiled.

Mattress, after posting the LAP EY and KIT mixes by Shep that stick close to the originals, can you post his 'dancier', 'housier' reworkings? Esp the original version of what ended up on TIC and his reworking of KIT that I have on the single, only the single is not here with me
I would appreciate it!Ask and you shall receive:
Like A Prayer [7" Dance Edit] | download
I love that this version features the full album vocals at the end of the song. None of the other variations on this remix do.
Express Yourself [Video Version #1] (The house remix) | download
This is the soundtrack to the first cut of the video*. The version appearing on The Immaculate Collection home video is the second cut which removes some of the bedroom play near the end of the video and an alternate soundtrack with the beginning and ending of the 12" Local Mix sloppily spliced onto the main body of the previously posted 7" Remix.
* Note: This exact version has never been released on any audio format --commercial or promotional-- but only the first 15 seconds differ from Remix/Edit which appears on the promo CD and 7" singles. (The intro on that version is similar to what is heard on The Immaculate Collection CD.) I have corrected a tiny digital glitch that appears on all pressings of the CD, but is not heard int heard in the video.
So, about those 15 seconds; while virtually identical to the Local Mix (post "zipper"), it slightly differs by having additional echo on the usually dry line "Do you believe in love?". I have painstakingly recreated the correct version for those who love the video mix. Painstakingly. Hopefully this mess of notes made sense.
Keep It Together [single Remix] | download
This is the commercial single version of the song.
Enjoy!

Mattress' has too many tracks on his. You need more than 7 minutes for the 2 new songs.
Wait, which?

Where do we go from here?This isn't where, we intended to be :-(

You know I love you cosmic, but I'm going to have to say no here as well.
-
Even with a 2 CD release you have to leave many single off. I put a track list together and there is simply no room for stuff like AL or anything from this album except DAD. I would NOT include YMLM or DCFMA either.
Didn't we have a topic where everyone could post their track list for the GH? I can't find it.
Here it is.
-
To be honest from this album i only heard "Human Nature" (AMAZING) and "Secret" (Masterpice
)But.. i'll playing it now to tell you
You're in for a treat.
"Sanctuary," "Inside Of Me"... find the "Bedtime Story" video and you've really never heard "Take A Bow"? It's lovely.
-
That would mean no "Holiday"....would a Madonna GH package be complete without that track...?! Do we really need "Hanky Panky" and "Rescue Me" under consideration instead of something like "You Must Love Me" (a Gold single, even though it didn't make it anywhere near the Top 10 in the US) or "The Power of Goodbye"?
I'd mentioned earlier that "Holiday" and "Into The Groove" are essential though they didn't make the top 10 (ITG was a UK #1.) They's signature songs.
That post should have read as "In addition to the signature songs and new recordings, they should look to the US top 10's and UK #1's to round out the track listing."

That was my initial thought, but they didn't go with the obvious and use Like A Virgin for this volume. I'd love one of Patrick Demarchelier's Bedtime Stories outtake photos to grace the cover...
