{"product_id":"true-blue-reissue","title":"True Blue (Reissue)","description":"Product Description\n\nNo artist has defined (and defied) the pop music world like Madonna - only the Beatles and Elvis can approach her success and status as a cultural force. Now the three albums that announced Madonna to the world - Madonna, Like A Virgin and True Blue- have been remastered and redesigned to meet today's standards for sound quality and packaging. Each of these discs feature completely restored artwork from the original LP releases, meticulously remastered sound and bonus 12\" dance mixes that have never before appeared on CD. Madonna, Like A Virgin, and True Blue are considered landmark recordings of modern pop music and have produced more than a dozen hit singles among them. These upgrades will ensure that Mdaonna's past work remains as vital as where she decides to take music in the future.\nBonus Remixes: Each remaster includes rare 12\" dance mixes previously unavailable on compact disc.\n\nAmazon.com\n\nA quintessential '80s pop artifact, Madonna's third album was a huge musical leap forward and ranks with Like a Prayer and Ray of Light in the top echelon of her works. Only the title track (a bit too obviously a '60s girl-group homage) and the fine-but-nothing-special \"Jimmy Jimmy\" slightly lower the quality bar. Most of the songs share a jittery dance-pop sound, edgy, distracted, and nerve-jangling but simultaneously invigorating and exhilarating and almost dangerously giddy--a perfect soundtrack for the mid-'80s. Highlights include the hedonist's credo of \"Where's the Party,\" the subtle and pretty Latin pastiche \"La Isla Bonita,\" and, towering above all, three stunning mega-hits. \"Papa Don't Preach,\" with its gorgeous pseudo-classical strings intro, is a sumptuous airwaves banquet, as Madonna wrestles with the have-the-baby-or-give-it-up dilemma (abortion's not in the picture) in newly gritty tones. \"Open Your Heart\"'s marriage of jitter-pop and wistful melody underscores the singer's yearning but forceful stance (\"You better open your heart to me, buster\"). And \"Live to Tell\" is a riveting ballad, lushly melodic yet spare and haunting--a place, as the song says, where beauty lives. --Ken Barnes\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00005J6T0\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00005J6T0.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Madonna\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
