That's what I was afraid of. I was also going to say
that they must be remastered as they are available in
24-bit.

In fairness, by the mid '90s, much of the music was
already getting brick-walled. The earlier stuff has,
unfortunately, lost its dynamics. What good is 24-bit
when everything has been squashed. :(

Bought the "Someday" digital EP, and while I don't feel
it's badly brickwalled, it's definitely got some hard
limiting on it.

The degree of limiting seems to vary by song. There
doesn't seem to be any limiting on the Pianoapercapella
at all, while the New 12" House has pretty severe
limiting. I've seen worse, though. I've actually seen a
lot worse.

There's quite the market for rare Madonna fan club only,
limited stuff, and even bootlegs. I did see the Japanese
singles collection online with a sticker from Tower that
said $199. That was a guy who was asking $4,750 but I
think it could realistically go for half that.

I lost that much on Gamestop stock a couple weeks ago.
In retrospect, I'd rather have a Japanese Madonna box
set. :D

By the time you find out about a stock, you're too
late to the game. A lot of it's hype especially in
short term gain stocks.

These singles were all limited items that few stores
carried. Many mixes were promos, imports, and/or
mislabeled mixes. If you heard it, you probably
wouldn't know which mix it was without a sound sample.
I waited until youtube was popular to go for many of
the cd singles as I had to figure out which mix I was
interested in. I also quickly learned that longer
isn't usually better!

Makes sense. I bought all of the 12" singles when
they were current, so I've got my own favorite mix of
each song. Madonna's one of the few artists whose
remixes could stand on their own for being just as
good as the original versions, and in some cases,
better.
