I almost forgot about that U2 thing!!!

See! It's easy to lose track. I do all the time.

So what are your future projects???

Gotta get to bed now, but I'll get back to you on that.

I just couldn't put "Love Won't Wait" on there. Everything else is in such pristine quality that it'd stick out like a sore thumb. Good song though. I'll find somewhere for it. And as far as remixes go, I'm making a separate set of those.

And I wholeheartedly agree about "I Want You". It still blows me away to this day. Easily one of her best. And it sounds so good leading into "Sanctuary", it's sick. Try it.

I'm figuring that out. It's tough cuz there are so many that could go on either that or "Music". Plus, the album is so long as it is.

I might have to make it a double-disc set.

wow,you must have alot more than "Revenge" and "Like A Flower",huh?

i've never enjoyed the bedtime stories cd much. that said, at least with your additions it becomes a much better collection!

i tried to think about what my ultimate madonna collection would be...and i don't have one. there's only a few people i like enough to put into comps. usually immaculate collection and erotica suffice my need for ultimate madonna collections.

My ultimate Madonna collection is three mix tapes of every song that has charted on Billboard's dance chart. Because they are all extended or remix versions it's up to 6 hours long. I'm currently looking for a vinyl copy of "Mother And Father" so I can begin the fourth mix tape ("American Life" - present).

Looks great! Cover art is definitely a step up from the official release.

Have you heard the Tupac version of "I'd Rather Be Ya Lover"? Not sure if the quality is all that great, but if you were interested in putting rarities/outtakes on the disc, I thought maybe your interest might be piqued.

Actually, that's one I don't have. I think I'm somewhat lacking in the unreleased Madonna remixes department.

Does anybody have or know of a comprehensive list of official remixes, released and unreleased? I'd like to know what I'm missing.

I have "I'd rather be your lover" the 2pac version imn 320kbps, still it sounds like it's ripped from vinyl...The album version is better!

Updated with Erotica.

Ah...this album. I love it just as much today. There were so many new things she was trying out around this time - hip-hop, house, jazz, reggae, sexual explicitness. Even though it's very much of it's time, it still sounds fresh today. She may equal this album, but she'll never better it.

Unfortunately, because the album's so long, I wasn't able to include much in the way of extras. All I really added was the Just Say Roe track "Goodbye to Innocence", the extended version of "Bad Girl" and the long version of "This Used to Be My Playground". With just those 3 changes, it already comes in @ 81 and half minutes. I left off "Did You Do It?" cuz it's totally unnecessary. My biggest regret is that I wasn't able to include "Justify My Love", "Rescue Me" and "The Beast Within". They fit perfectly with this album and I can't see placing them with "Like a Prayer" or especially "I'm Breathless".

If my 100 minute CD's still worked, I'd probably place "Justify My Love" 2nd, "The Beast Within" last, and "Rescue Me" right after "Rain". They tie together nicely with the thunderstorms and it sounds good before "Why Is It So Hard" too. But unfortunately, there's no room. Maybe I'll make a 2nd disc including remixes and those songs. I imagine I'll have to do the same thing with "Ray of Light".

So anyway, here's my art...

Nice choice for the cover. Even though that damn gold tooth bugs me, I've always loved that photograph. You could have saved room for one more track by leaving off In This Life.

This is also a great remix era for her. I had a 2 LP promo DJ set of remixes for Deeper and Deeper, that is pretty pricey to come by - that I gave away to some lucky Orger.

Incidentally, which version of Waiting do you prefer? I like the album version, but I think the remix on the Rain maxi-single is better.

Updated with Erotica.

from a personal stand point.

i don't like the inclusion of the Something To Remember tracks because they are part of a separate era.
