Madonna – Bedtime Story

Reviewing every record in my collection

This Maxi is all things considered a great one, I'd say it doesn't sound as great as other maxis that came before but it still sound really good. I'd say you only need to listen to side two to get the whole experience since the first side remixes are a bit bland and repetitive. Now, side two? Probably two of the best remixes in Madonna's career: The Orbital mix needs no introduction; you know it, it's great and sounds even better on this pressing. And the Junior's Wet Dream Mix is a great club remix that re-imagines the song and takes it to a higher place.

If you have the chance to score the limited edition definitely go for that one, but this one is great too

Amazing tune, amazing remix(Orbital), amazing sleeve. What more do you want?

This is what ALL of the MADONNA reissues should be - every official track REMASTERED and made commercially available.
The only missing track here is the (LP Version). So many of these DIGITAL SINGLES do not include the correct A or B side ... just infuriating.

I bought mine today at a second-hand shop. Although it came with a front cover; obviously it's a home-printed picture, but it also has another picture on the inside, which is cool.

I can add pictures if necessary!

Amazing sound quality. The bass is very prominent and powerful. This is one of the most exciting madonna 12''. Vocals are very clear and there's no surface noide at all. A true gem

A girl in a HMV I spoke to saw me 'looking' at these in the racks.

"They came in like that."

The volume varies track by track on the new "Bedtime Story" digital EP as compared to the original CD singles. The Lush Vocal Edit is the same volume as on the promo CD, but the full Lush Vocal Mix is about 2 decibels louder on the digital issue. The Orbital Mix, Junior's Wet Dream Mix, and Junior's Dreamy Drum Dub are actually at a lower volume on the digital EP than they are on the original US CD maxi, without the shaved peaks that were found on the CD. All the rest of the tracks that were previously released on CD seem to be at the same volume as they are on the original issue.

The music video is INCREDIBLE! One of Madonna's BEST VIDEOS EVER! Very under rated here in the USA only charting at #42 on billboard hot 100, a #4 UK top 75 hits, the Brits are smarter than Americans.

The printed times for the mixes mistakenly clocks the Orbital Mix at 7:14.

I also have the gold cd single with original yellow sticker, limited poster and the original counter stand. I've only ever seen one complete set other than mine. I lived in Australia for 20 years and it's very hard to find a copy with sticker and poster!
