I started a vinyl collection this Christmas just gone, and it was my birthday a couple of weeks ago and I got my first Madonna vinyl - Like a prayer! 😍

Yay Spice Boy! Keep them coming ~

 

Just added the MDNA vinyl to my collection.

 

I have been searching for years !!

Great find! Well done :D

Glad you've got a complete collection now Vibe! ^_^

 

 

Even if it cost you about £159 more than I'd be willing to pay :lol: :kink:

 

Doubled my very small Madonna collection today with pink 'Confessions' :wub:

 

That looks so good! *.* Madonna's two best album too, what a way to start the collection! Have you got any plans to get more of her albums, Jade?

I know right <3 so happy I managed to find one on eBay! I would definitely love to expand it a bit more - 'The Immaculate Collection' and 'Music' are the next ones I'll look into I think *.* the former covering the early base quite well and the latter completing my trio of favourite Madonna studio albums!

Pleased you got MDNA, vibe! I doubt I ever will unless it is reissued.

 

Great stuff, Jade :wub: They're also the first two studio albums of hers I bought on vinyl! Two essentials :heart:

 

I wish I could go back to the 80s in a time machine and buy fresh copies of True Blue and Like a Prayer :kink: The copies I own, which are seemingly 2012 reissues, are pretty poor quality... dull/faded colours and lacking detail. Those two, along with Music (a 2020 reissue), are the Madonna vinyl albums I own that I'm least satisfied with. I feel like way more care could have gone into these reissues.

Omg where did you get the pink confessions I’ve been looking for it!!! 😍

Taste :heart:

Got it from eBay! There are quite a few on there right now *.*

The pink Confessions vinyl is one of my favourite purchases - it's sublime and the perfect aesthetics for the era. Glad you got it Jade (you now have her two best albums imo!).

Two more great choices! 'Music' is a great mix of sounds that album producer Mirwais links together perfectly, whilst 'The Immaculate Collection' speaks for itself!

I'm hoping we can get proper vinyl reissues at one point (with bonus material would be even better). I keep reading on other sites something about it taking 35 years for an artist to own the publishing rights to music? I can't remember the exact phrasing. Certainly when the biopic is released, that would be a great time to start properly reissuing albums.

I really hope that will happen :wub: They need some more effort and love put into them.

 

I wonder if I'm alone in preferring the True Blue cover to have 'MADONNA True Blue' placed at the top of the cover? That's another reason why I'd like to own an original 80s UK copy of the album.

Yeah I prefer the one with no album title. The album cover is iconic enough with that Madonna pose so it doesn’t need the album title!

Definitely prefer no album title myself too! As Liam says, the image says it all :wub:

I kind of like how big and bold the MADONNA font looks though, that feels quite iconic in itself to me... the power of the name *.*

 

Do you guys think any of the other covers would look better without her name/the title too? I feel that way about Madame X standard cover... her name over the eyebrows, hmm... :drama:

 

(Sorry I know this is going a little off topic in a vinyl thread :lol: )

You will be able to find her 80’s albums on ebay easily i would have thought?

 

Indont want MDNA to get reprinted now as price will drop significantly!!

I doubt it will, surely there’s no demand :kink:

Agreed about 'Madame X', it took a long time to get used to the name across the eyebrows, but I don't think it's necessary to be there at all. I think 'Madame X' sewn into her lips is strong enough as an image and it's what Madonna referred to herself as during the era too.

 

I don't like the title font or colour on 'Bedtime Stories', it doesn't blend well with the album cover and I like that pose on its own (the upside down cover all the way!).

The name across the eyebrows gets worse every time I see it. It would have been so striking without it, and just Madame X across the lips. It's a great image, but the letters across her eyebrow just cheap the entire thing for me. Looks even worse in full vinyl glory :(

The pink special edition Confessions vinyl is available on Amazon at a great price if anyone is interested (Spiceboy?): https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000BRBGO6/ref=...=UTF8&psc=1
