IMO, another mediocre compilation. I'm happy I was not
expecting anything from it given the past experience with
her re-releases and the Celebration project, which I
remember was discussed here.

Brian is correct, the Fever "Radio Edit" (a radio friendly
version of the Murk Boys Miami Mix) has made its debut
digitally, unfortunately the brickwalling ruins the
listening experience for me, beyond any discussions on the
track listing of the compilation itself.

And just as in Celebration, sound glitches. In "Open Your
Heart" (Video Version), there are some digital clicks or
some digital artifact, starting 0:53, I didn't bother to
check the rest of the track and compilation.

It's incredible that to this date, the best source for that
version remains the 20+ year-old Immaculate Collection DVD
with PCM sound and ample dynamic range (the version
appeared again on the Celebration DVD but the intro has
sound issues and the audio track is heavily compressed).

The "Keep It Together" remix is previously unreleased, but
again, the fact that it sounds up there all the time,
simply takes away the joy for me.

On a happier note, I am thankful for this board and the
knowledgeable and kind people I have met throughout all
these years!

The good news is that the edits are correct. The 2022 remaster, however, has a longer fade out than the actual 7" single, and it seems to have a good amount of dynamic range compression. There are a few spots in particular that sound distorted.]]> Sun, 24 Jul 2022 11:14:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9784&PID=61319&title=new-madonna-3cd-compilation#61319 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9784&PID=61318&title=new-madonna-3cd-compilation#61318 Author: 75azabache

What Aaron said. Give us the singles / hit versions and if you want to show what a "multi decade artist" she
is, include the later bunk (IMO) at the end or on a second disc that we'll never listen to. Maybe it's coming. ]]> Sun, 22 May 2022 02:46:49 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9784&PID=60866&title=new-madonna-3cd-compilation#60866 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9784&PID=60791&title=new-madonna-3cd-compilation#60791 Author: Brian W.

If you zoom in on the liner notes in this image, you can see that it says the 7" singles were the album versions:

What no one can figure out is "Holiday."

Well... the Japan box had the 7" version of "most" of the
hits, but Lucky Star, Like a Virgin, and Express Yourself
were all the album versions. But pretty much everything
else was correct.

It does seem like a waste, but it has a theme -- it's a
collection of her 50 #1s on Billboard's Dance/Club chart.

Trying to figure out which version "Holiday" is... Qobuz
is listing the run times (no samples yet) and Holiday
runs 4:20. No 4:20 version has ever been released.

I'll probably just buy the tracks I don't already have as
downloads, which would be the Fever radio edit, the
Impressive Instant remix edit, and the Open Your Heart
video version.

This is the first release in her recent partnership with
Warner which is supposed to include deluxe reissues. At
the time, WB issued a statement saying, "For the first
time, Madonna will personally curate expansive deluxe
editions for many of her landmark albums, as well as
introduce unique releases for special events, and much
more."

Next year will mark the 40th anniversary of her first
album, so hopefully we will get all the correct single
edits in a deluxe edition.

The Japan box doesn't really count. It was limited edition to begin with, not released worldwide, didn't include the US 7" versions of all the hits, wasn't compiled onto the fewest number of CDs, etc. Even when it was new, the Japan box was super expensive. A well-done 3-CD set with all the correct mixes could retail for under $40.]]> Thu, 05 May 2022 07:22:17 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9784&PID=60773&title=new-madonna-3cd-compilation#60773
