Amazon.co.uk Review
This is the perfect way to hear Madonna: no album filler, just one hit after another. As a singles artist, she works wonders: quick, danceable tunes that are occasionally "controversial" but never set out to change the world (and don't). iThe Immaculate Collection/i begins with her earliest work ("Holiday", "Borderline") and matures from there ("Papa Don't Preach", "Like A Prayer"), ending in 1990. The highlight is the inclusion of "Justify My Love", a track recorded specifically for this compilation. One caveat: since Madonna is a true video artist, it'd be even nicer to "see" these songs. i--Rob O'Connor/i

Madonna Immaculate Collection
For a first purchase of a Madonna CD it's great - it has all the classics, the only disappointment is the remix of `Like a Prayer' - the strong gospel tones have gone which is real shame - the original version was so much better.

Ice cube's best album so far.
Michael Jackson helped out alot on this album by designing a new CD lacquoring process. This made it possible for him to give his free copies of this album back to Madonna without her seeming to notice. Of course Madonna being a bit wise and very old didn't really know what CDs are and now always looks confused. The 'immaculation collection' actually refers to the immaculate homogenised grey appearance of collected belly button fluff despite it originating from garments of differing colouration.

THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION
Madonna scored some of the greatest songs in the 80's and many of them are placed on this compilation album...but these are remixed versions of the album versions. br /this is the greatest compelation album ever made...just a shame not all of her successful singles are captured here(whos that girl,true blue,oh father,over and over,and keep it together)but all the songs here are stunning. br /Holiday(the first album)-9/10 br /Lucky Star(the first album)-10/10 br /Borderline(the first album)-9/10 br /Like a virgin(like a virgin)-9/10 br /material girl(like a virgin)-9/10 br /Crazy for you(vision quest soundtrack)-8/10 br /Into The Groove(like a virgin)-10/10 br /Live to tell(true blue)-10/10 br /papa dont preach(true blue)-10/10 br /Open your heart(true blue)-10/10 br /La Isla Bonita(true blue)-10/10 br /Like A Prayer(like a prayer)-10/10-a great remix br /Express Yourself(like a prayer)-10/10-my favourite song of hers br /Cherish(like a prayer)-9/10 br /Vogue(im Breathless)-10/10-a masterclass song. br /Justify My Love(exclusive track)-10/10-feels like it should be on the Erotica album which came just over a year later...well its great enough to be!!! br /Rescue Me-10/10-another one that i think should have waited to be placed on the Erotica album but again,very good. br / br /all in all a great compelation of hits from her career throughout the 80's to 1990. br /recommended to every fan:) br /

Please think before buying!
Madonna's music in the 1980s was excellent. But why people would be tricked to buy this is amazing. This came out right after I turned 12 years old and knew immediately not to buy it. Doesn't it seem to good to be true to have "Borderline", "Like A Virgin", "Live To Tell", "Into The Groove", "Like A Prayer", and "Vogue" (the latter song not even being a year old when this was released) all on one disc? When if it seems to too good to be true, it usually is. A friend of mine made a copy for me on cassette 5 years after the release. It was exactly what I thought: they were not the original versions. And to be more direct, they are not even the single versions. People have the tendency to say that this album has the single versions. Not true. All of these songs are re-mixed and edited. They stink to high heaven. That's right, all of them. You are better off saving money and buying her first 4 albums, Madonna (the first album), Like A Virgin, True Blue, and Like A Prayer. And if you care, you can even buy the I'm Breathless album from the Dick Tracy film featuring the overrated "Vogue" song. The greatest thing I love about the UK is that unlike America where I'm from, you guys have so much better taste is music. Your version of her best album and my favorite, Like A Virgin, even had "Into The Groove" added to it. That album alone is a greatest hits! I'm just shocked that people, even reviewers on this site, amazon.co.uk, actually like the I.C. album. Of course, in the US, everyone in there brother loves it (except me, maybe!) The saddest part is that Madonna has never released a double compilation with the original album or single versions of these songs. But she's not stupid. She knows people are still dumb enough to buy it! But where is her first killer single, "Everybody"? Many people don't even know it was her first single! She even should have minused "Justify My Love" and "Rescue Me" and added "Angel" and "Dress You Up". But since those are new songs, people think they are really getting a treasure: a greatest hits and two new songs. Like we all know, everyone's a sucker one or more times in their life! Thanks for reading, Joseph
