"Leonard uploaded the original demos of ‘Like a Prayer’, ‘Cherish’ and unreleased song ‘Angels With Dirty Faces’ to YouTube on Monday (July 22). The first two demos were apparently recorded the same days the songs were written. In one video description, Leonard – who co-wrote and co-produced many of Madonna’s early albums – revealed that he hopes sharing the demos for free would “stop the sale of that cassette at auction”. “Not cool at all that someone would sell it,” he added. “Not theirs to sell.” The auction in question is the sale of several personal items of Madonna’s, put up for bidding by the pop icon’s former friend Darlene Lutz. The cassette Leonard mentions is one of several on the block; its current bid stands at £1,032 ($1,283)."

I actually didn't know there were unreleased songs from the Like a Prayer sessions, so whatever the circumstances are, this made me really excited

EDIT: just realised I screwed up the links, now they are correct.

The auction site is kinda neat. I did some browsing the other day, I might drop a bid on that John Lennon scarf that was allegedly owned by Michael Jackson. Its clever.

Fun fact, I didn't realize it til I was browsing the Madonna goods online but I work literally across the street from Gotta Have Rock & Roll gallery store in Manhattan.

Any Prince material?

Nope. That demo version of "Like a Prayer" has no guitar line, Prince or otherwise.

Angels With Dirty Faces should've replaced Promise To Try on LAP.
