    This version of Borderline litteraly brought tears to my eyes. I sat here crying over the lyrics, they hit home with me and sung without all the extras, it tore me up... I'm SO glad this was released...

    was this an offical mastering session? the date of the session was too late to be part of celebration/greatest hits....mmmhh

    if it was offical, what does warner music/madonna plan with this digitally captured tracks?

    These songs are the reason why we're diw hard fans. Fresh, naive and intuitive. I hope Warner will now release all those gems.
    I hope that M will surpass herself by doing a new kick ass album. No star producer or creepy Djs. Bring the musicians back, give light to good poetry, reunite with awesome filmakers. We want M's vision back. Merry Christmas to Everyone!

    this acoustic versions are really great and they proof that madonna, despite of all critism, has a great voice and a great talent to write perfect pop songs. keep in mind, that in 1983 when this songs were recorded and produced there was no digital studio equipment, digital voice improvements with a computer etc.

    it's a pity that madonna nowadays produces songs with boring mainstream producers and doesn't pay much attention in writing good, heartfull songs...

    madonna go back to your roots, connect again with your musical heart and make a new album which is not only produced to legitimate a new huge mega tour or to have one big single hit.

    is the recorded voice actually the same of the final version or is it different? to me it feels like just the drums are missing in those tracks

    ...here, here!

    btw, these 'acoustic' tracks are utterly brilliant. im actually afraid what would have happened to them if this dude didnt get hold of them - in the trash? how can that be? these are priceless. and what about the rest of the tracks?

    What I find intriguing -and if this guy's story is to be believed, is how these tapes escaped the Warners vault? Do Warners have a backup of these things? Say, if they ever wanted to do a Madonna 5.1 remix project, are the multi-track tapes of the first album gone? You'd think this is the kind of catalogue that should be treated with respect. I wonder...

    I wonder if they could source the unreleased "Holiday" video from the same place.
