0075992644020. Pre-Owned: Good condition. CD. On the surface the single-disc hits compilation The Immaculate Collection appears to be a definitive retrospective of Madonna s heyday in the 80s. After all it features 17 of Madonna s greatest hits from Holiday and Like a Virgin to Like a Prayer and Vogue. However looks can be deceiving. It s true that The Immaculate Collection contains the bulk of Madonna s hits but there are several big hits that aren t present including Angel Dress You Up True Blue Who s That Girl and Causing a Commotion. The songs that are included are frequently altered. Everything on the collection is remastered in Q-sound which gives an exaggerated sense of stereo separation that often distorts the original intent of the recordings. Furthermore several songs are faster than their original versions and some are faded out earlier than either their single or album versions while others are segued together. In other words while all the hits are present they re simply not in their correct versions. Nevertheless The Immaculate Collection remains a necessary purchase because it captures everything Madonna is about and it proves that she was one of the finest singles artists of the 80s. Until the original single versions are compiled on another album The Immaculate Collection is the closest thing to a definitive retrospective. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Rovi
