I hope this isn't true. anyway two questions what is Q sound and what's this beef with Stephan Bray? I think most of the Immaculate versions were bad. Some of the songs where the difference was minimal were OK. Express Yourself was OK too (although I like the album version more). But Holiday, Into The Groove and La Isla Bonita were horrible. Like A Prayer was horrible too although it is so different that the original that I actually don't mind it in the IC. But to include that horribly dated version in a new compilation is crap when she could include the original or even better the version she performed in Live 8 and the Re-Invention Tour. Even the S&S tour version would be better than the IC version. | |

If they used the single versions and edits in place of LP versions, they could have added a few more cuts there. Yeah, that part does bother me. I'd prefer all the songs to be edited so we could get as many as possible. There are a ton of hits missing here, shunned to make room for non-hits like Hollywood and Miles Away. How did Sorry (#58 Hot 100) make the cut over Keep It Together (#8), True Blue (#3) or I'll Remember (#2)?
Well, the 3 songs you mentioned give her last 3 albums a 2nd track. Erotica is the only full-length Madonna album (not tied to a movie) with fewer than 2 tracks. "Deeper and Deeper" should've been included. Overall, it's a pretty good group. It contains all of her US #1 hits except "This Used to Be My Playground" and all of her UK #1 hits except "True Blue" and that horrendous cover song. (Of course, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, it would've been nice to have "Causing a Commotion," which you'll note made almost all of our lists. But I'm just giddy over "Who's That Girl" and the album version of "Into the Groove"!) "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

you're not a Madonna fan. you go to a record store and see a new Madonna greatest hits album on the shelf and you look at the back and say "Oh, Like A Prayer! I love that song! Express Yourself? I love that one too! I'm going to pick this up!"
you take it home and listen to it and you're like "WTF IS THIS REMIX SHIT! Where's the guitar? Where are the horns?" seriously. nobody that buys this album and doesn't already know that it's the remixed versions is going to be happy to hear them when they play the album. they're going to feel ripped off that these aren't the versions that they know or remember. this is exactly why the Immaculate Collection needed to be replaced. and now they're using the remixes from it?! ugh. | |

 I still say the "Express Yourself" remix is at least as well known as the original (and probably more). As for the others, well... I think we have to at least acknowledge the fact that those are the definitive versions to a lot of Madonna fans."Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Actually now that I think about it since 16 of the 17 Immaculate songs are also here they should use the original versions and leave the IC with a bit of life as a nice remix album. Like this they completely bury the old compilation | |

I want the radio/video versions. As for the others, well... I think we have to at least acknowledge the fact that those are the definitive versions to a lot of Madonna fans.

right. but that remix wasn't the one that was played on the radio in 1989/1990! it was only played from very late 90 and for a couple years when stations were lazy (and the mixes were new) and just threw on TIC. I was talking about the fans who have only heard/owned TIC (and there have to be a number of them).
well then they aren't fans, then are they? they're just like everyone else. the great unwashed who only have TIC | |

jiorjios said: More news about the Celebration tracklist:
All songs will appear on their album version except: a)4 Minutes, Everybody, Sorry, Secret, Erotica, Dress You Up, Miles Away & Don't Tell Me will appear in album edits b)Vogue, Like A Virgin, Like A Prayer, Express Yourself, Open Your Heart, Borderline, Crazy For You & Cherish will appear in the Immaculate Collection versions. Cool so we will get the original version of Into The Groove after all:) What? The "Like A Prayer" remix is far too different and stipped down from the original. Maybe it was cute for "The Immaculate Collection" but not again. I don't like how "Vogue" starts. At least if this is true, "Into The Groove" will be in it's full glory! | |

[Edited 8/17/09 18:10pm] I noticed for a while that radio stations picked up the TIC "Into the Groove" but then they stopped and went with the original (same with "Like A Prayer). That being said, unfortunately the Strobe, which should know better since they just redid their entire playlist, just played the TIC verision. Damn, damn, damn! | |

Also hear it on other stations. They used to play the TIC version but haven't heard it in a while. Including TIC versions on Celebration perhaps gives a slightly valid reason for deleting it, but it's purely lazy and or selfish (or fucking vendentta against Steve Bray better not fuck up "Into the Groove" again....who knows what the LP version is?). | |

I still think that track-list is fake; it has "fan-made" written all over its face...  | |

^It's real. Madonna Tribe has a long list of accurate news and they know this piece of news would be long dissected by fans, so they definitely would not risk it. The tracklist is finalized and is sent for pressing, so it was safe for Tribe to publish it.
About the Stephen Bray beef, supposedly he did not like the Shep remixes of his LAP singles and he never wanted to work with Madonna again (in fact Patrick Leonard did not like how she preferred Shep's remixes either). I also heard some fans saying he actually had a different version for the actual album version as well, so it must have pissed him off that Madonna changed her mind twice. But the real beef comes from him releasing the In The Beginning / Pre-Madonna compilations that included all the Madonna/Bray demos from around 1981. There are rumours about beefs with other producers, but I believe this was the only thing that crossed the line for her. I wonder who remastered the original "Into The Groove" then, since I can't see Bray being asked to do that? Maybe Mark "Spike" Stent? | |

I don't know why some fans are disappointed/surprised by this tracklist.Did we really think that they were gonna get it right this time? My expectations were low to begin with,so I'm not upset at all.When it was revealed that this would be a 2-CD set,I knew that there was no way they could include all the hits that fans want to hear.I knew that alot was gonna get left off.
I've said repeatedly: The only way to do it right is by releasing a 3 or 4-CD box set that includes everything:all the singles,key album tracks,the soundtrack hits,B-sides and rarities thrown in for good measure.Anything less than that just won't do! Oh well,maybe one day we will finally get that box set,but I'm not holding my breath  | |

At this point, 7'' versions need to be used in place of Immaculate Collection versions. This is a hits collection - give me the hit versions. That means the 7'' remixes of Express Yourself and Like a Prayer. There are a ton of hits missing here, shunned to make room for non-hits like Hollywood and Miles Away. How did Sorry (#58 Hot 100) make the cut over Keep It Together (#8), True Blue (#3) or I'll Remember (#2)? [Edited 8/17/09 17:24pm] This album is not just being released in the United States. Sorry was a huge hit all over Europe. I don't think Keep it Together was even a single in Europe. Because Sorry was a UK #1 and Top Ten in many other countries. | |

No CAC, True Blue, Angel, Express Yourself.. Btw, when will First Is A Kiss and the other LAp outtake will leak? | |

An artist of Madonna's commercial stature deserves a truly comprehensive set. The diehards would love it. I'm so happy that "Burning Up" made the tracklist that she could have included "Spanish Lesson" as a repeated track 35 times and I'd still pick it up (well... almost), but Madonna really needs a box set. Properly remastered albums would be great too. Maybe she doesn't want to do such a thing until she's retired as a recording artist? Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018!

But Shep did the whole TIC mixing indeed, so maybe even "Get Over" was to be remixed.
I'm afraid those will never leak.  We almost have nothing from the pre-ROL days regarding leaks... I think the other song was "Love Attack". For some reason, I don't think those songs would be as impressive as "Express Yourself" anyway, I'm sure Madonna did the right thing with the LAP tracklist. Except "Love Song" of course.  | |

Well, if the track-list is official, then I'm gonna talk about it, let's see
CD 1: 01) Hung Up - LP Version (a bold and exciting choice to start the album )
02) Music - LP Version 03) Vogue - Immaculate Collection Version 04) 4 Minutes - LP Edit 05) Holiday - LP Version (TIC version is better, in my opinion) 06) Like A Virgin - Immaculate Collection Version (OK) 07) Into The Groove - LP Version (the 1985 original??? OH YEAH!!!!  )
08) Everybody - LP Edit (yeah, the edit version was necessary )
09) Like A Prayer - Immaculate Collection Version (good choice, TIC version is somewhat more famous) 10) Ray Of Light - LP Version 11) Sorry - LP Edit (I'm so glad this song is finally included, it's one of her biggest european hits of the post-Music era) 12) Express Yourself - Immaculate Collection Version (fuck no!  , LAP is WAY better, with all those horns...)
13) Open Your Heart - Immaculate Collection Version 14) Borderline - Immaculate Collection Version 15) Secret - LP Edit 16) Erotica - LP Edit 17) Justify My Love - LP Version (unessential, I don't know if this means TIC will be out of print soon...) 18) Celebrate CD 2: 01) Dress You Up - LP Edit (odd choice to start the album; anyway I'm so glad this song finally made it) 02) Material Girl - LP Version 03) La Isla Bonita - LP Version 04) Papa Don't Preach - LP Version 05) Lucky Star - LP Edit 06) Burning Up - LP Version [i](YEAHH!!! ) 
07) Crazy For You - Immaculate Collection Version ( )
08) Who's That Girl - LP Version (finally! )
09) Frozen - LP Version 10) Miles Away - LP Edit (pffff, give me Give it to me anyday...) 11) Take A Bow - LP Version ( the long LP version please...)
12) Beautiful Stranger - LP Version 13) Hollywood - LP Version (worst track of the entire compilation, and where the hell is American Life??  )
14) Die Another Day - LP Version ( )
15) Don't Tell Me - LP Edit 16) Live To Tell - LP Version ( the long LP version is way betterd)
17) Cherish - Immaculate Collection Version 18) Revolver I think it's a good track-list, not perfect, but decent and above all, EXCITING, with some surprises here and there; yeah, there's no Angel or Causing a commotion, but we have Burning Up, Everybody and Dress you up, which are much more hip . And there's also Who's that girl, so for that alone we should be happy On the other hand, the omission of Rain and Deeper and Deeper is a major insult, considering that Hollywood (pfff) and Miles Away are included.
Also, I like the fact that the track-list is not chronological; don't know why, but I like it
Conclusion: despite Rain and D&D, this tracklist is good enough and, if the booklet is huge, then I'll be TRULY satisfied... [Edited 8/18/09 6:35am] | |

JoeTyler said: 05) Holiday - LP Version (TIC version is better, in my opinion) Definitely not.Especially that drum break in the end destroys the song 08) Everybody - LP Edit (yeah, the edit version was necessary
)Well probably that's the only song where a remixed version (from YCD) does not actually take away from the song. The original version is great also so no complains 09) Like A Prayer - Immaculate Collection Version (good choice, TIC version is somewhat more famous)
Em no way. The IC version sounds horribly dated, turns the song into an average eurocamp dance song and takes off the Prince guitar. Plus most people know the original version from the video not this one 17) Justify My Love - LP Version (unessential, I don't know if this means TIC will be out of print soon [i]
I hope its prize will go down soon. My copy is scratched at the only song not included here: Rescue Me lol. But no JML is not unessential. It is one of her more memorable moments (I will not say song because most people remember it for the video) CD 2: 01) Dress You Up - LP Edit [i](odd choice to start the album; anyway I'm so glad this song finally made it)
Me too. But I would rather see the S&S tour remix here. 10) Miles Away - LP Edit ([i]pffff, give me Give it to me anyday...)
Yeah it would make more sense for a Greatest Hits compilation but I like Miles Away much more. Plus it did change Madonna's world. First single since she had a hit that didn't make the UK Top 20 lol. . Also, I like the fact that the track-list is not chronological; don't know why, but I like it
I'd much rather have it chronological. But I can see why it's not. Probably to hide the fact that the whole Immaculate Collection is here | |

There is a "7" Remix" which is almost exactly like the album version but with the bass brought up and a few other elements added in. that was the main single mix. that's the one that was a hit in 1989/1990 before TIC came out. then there is a "remix/edit" that was on the b-side of the promo that is an edit of the remix and is similar to the video remix. that version (the video verson) wasn't really on the radio in 89/90. Not around here. The radio played a remixed version where I live. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |
