Special Recording Technique

I bought this CD new when it was first released. There was information on the Jacket talking about the special recording technique used to make this CD. "Something"-X IIRC. It was suppose to be a quantum improvement in the area of CD production. Was suppose to improve the sound quality. My CD was stolen long ago so I cannot lot to it as a reference. Can anyone here comment on this? If this information can be found, it would be nice to include it with the article on the CD. I am guessing the technology failed since I never heard about it again. 68.47.103.224 (talk) 22:19, 7 June 2009 (UTC)MODGOD

Where's the Party

I feel that a page should be made for "Where's the Party" as it is often regarded as Madonna's most popular non-single.

It was covered here: http://exclaim.ca/MusicVideo/ClickHear/ps_i_love_you-wheres_party_madonna_cover

It was featured on the you Can Dance remix album and is considered the most popular remix of the album.

Considering the fact that there are many articles on Wikipedia for songs that do not have more than a paragraph, this should definitely be an article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.181.62.167 (talk) 22:00, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Jimmy Dean

I'm not so sure she was talking about the country singer - it's really hard to picture a connection between these two. On the other hand, the Hollywood legend seems like the logical one, considering Madonna's fascination with Old Hollywood. He also mentions James Dean as "Jimmy Dean" in "Vogue"; "Jimmy Dean" is like "Jimmy Stewart" for James Stewart. Alecsdaniel (talk) 13:33, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Notification

Cover update

Can we update the cover with a better quality photo? Her official Spotify page uses remastered photos (https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b273e77da32fe881c5a0430971ac) of her covers that look more modern. We can use that one instead. Johnny Gnecco (talk) 18:50, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

But that's not the cover. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 18:53, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

But it's an updated remastered cover and its used in her official Spotify account and not only. It's used in various streaming services by her team/label (call it as you want). Johnny Gnecco (talk) 22:28, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

I agree in change it. The real Madonna's intention when released the album was that there wasn't logo in the cover (except for a sticker in the LP sleeve with her name and the album's name), and it was released that way in US and Canada but not in Europe (you can read about it in the Package session of the article). Since 2001 when the album was remastered, even her website at the time used the cover without logo,today the album is more know like that.--88marcus (talk) 23:33, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

And Madonna (Madonna album) was reissued two years later, yet the article has the original cover and title. This article is about the 1980s release, not the 21st century one. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 15:22, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

@Tbhotch: Madonna was reissued in some countries with that different cover but the original album cover kept the same in most countries, when the remastered CD was released they also used the original cover worldwide. True Blue cover that @Johnny Gnecco: wants to include in the article is the original album cover, released in Madonna country (US) and it's the original Madonna's intent as the cover art, plus it is used nowadays as the digital and streaming cover.--88marcus (talk) 16:03, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

OK (it's important to point out this when opening a discussion as not everyone knows what you already know or the content of the articles they watch). However, that link's picture still too HD for a 1986 (or even 2001) picture. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 16:19, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
