Free Music Review: A good compilation of 12"-type mixes
Hit: 5 Stars
I know this isn't exactly every fan's favorite Madonna album and I can't say it is mine even, but I have nonetheless liked it a lot since buying it in 1990, thinking then as now that putting together a collection of 12"-like versions of popular dance songs of hers that hadn't had official 12" versions made of them was a fine idea. (You could however argue that Everybody and Holiday already had 12" versions, but I'd be inclined not to count these personally seeing as they were in the US at least nothing more or less than the unedited, full-length versions, while the UK 12" remix of Everybody was probably never that accessible anyway.)
Besides the choice of tracks, the mixes on YCD being extended and jazzed-up forms of the originals yet without departing too radically from them is what I particularly like about it. Indeed, the added sounds and livelier feel of the YCD version of Over and Over caused me to go off that on the Like a Virgin album as soon as I first heard the former (even if they do sound similar), and the more 'beaty' and up-to-date nature of Everybody makes this one, too, an improvement on the original in my opinion.
Into the Groove on the other hand has many echoes or vocals repeated over and over again in rapid succession which I can imagine might start to grate on me a bit if I were to hear this mix more than twice in a short space of time and which perhaps make it seem a little dated now; but since they were so in vogue in the 1980s, they undoubtedly helped to make it sound pretty cutting-edge back in its day and hence very good for a 12" version that never was.
Holiday and Where's the Party aren't what I'd call much (if any) better than their album versions either; but in spite of these also being far-from-drastic remix jobs, they are still different enough to be likely to give someone who likes the originals some incentive to listen to the YCD mixes of them once in a while for a bit of a change.
The previously unreleased Spotlight is I guess in somewhat of a class of its own - not one of Madonna's best I wouldn't say, but decent enough to have been deserving of a release as a single worldwide rather than (as was the case) in Japan only.
You Can Dance Poster
You can dance and you probably will if you put on this 1987 compilation of the material girl's best jams. The eight-and-a-half minute "Into the Groove," remixed by Shep Pettibone, may be Madonna's single best tune and it's sure to fill the dance floor. There are only 10 tracks here, and a couple of songs get multiple remixes, but you do get "Holiday" and "Everybody," lesser known but not lesser grooves. Madonna had a few dance hits after this collection came out, and one day they'll most likely be a Madonna dance box set, but until then this will give you a fine aerobic workout. --Charles R.
