Editorial 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). The Immaculate Collection 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. --Rob O'Connor

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.
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.
Holiday(the first album)-9/10
Lucky Star(the first album)-10/10
Borderline(the first album)-9/10

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... more info
A good album from the Queen of Pop This album is not too bad, contains 17 great tracks.
Allthough there is one let down, none of them are the proper single/album versions. They are all remix edits or extended versions for this compilation.
All re-recored using Q sound, makes the tracks sound very different from the orginal, in some cases better (Live To Tell and Like A prayer). But just makes other tracks sound awful (Lucky Star, La Isla Bonita). Personally I think if Madonna used all the proper single versions this album... more info
