Free Music Notes for The Immaculate Collection Album
Free Music Review: Excellent CD- but beware
Hit: 5 Stars
If you're only going to want one Madonna album, absolutely this is the one. I have a 50-disc changer in my car but this CD just keeps getting played and played, even after owning it for several years. However, be aware of the remixes here. "Like a Prayer" and "Express Yourself" are definitely second rate arrangements compared to their original versions and the 4 tunes taken from "True Blue" ("Papa Don't Preach", Open Your Heart, Live To Tell, & "La Isla Bonita") sound drastically different from the original album (in a sonic sense, the arrangements are about the same). Although the remastered sound may be objectively better, "True Blue" has a much more raw and distinct sound to it, which complements these songs better. The remix/remaster of "Into the Groove" is the best version I've heard, especially for the arrangement, although one nice little part was cut (probably for time). Actually, many of these songs are shortened, obviously since the finished CD runs just short of the time limit of a CD, but those edited parts are sorely missed (early fade-outs and such). They even cut out the bongo intro on "La Isla!" So yes, I have a few complaints. It would be nice if this had been a 2-cd set since so much is missing, but we really do have a fabulous collection here. After all, I did give it 5 stars. Thanks for reading this.
