Like A Virgin [Remastered] - Madonna

Advantages: Songs are fantastic; uplifting; good music to dance/work out/ clean house/drive etc. to
Disadvantages: this edition doesn't have 'into the groove' on it

...groove' off. Biggest mistake ever! Like A Virgin was a much better album with 'Into the groove' on - quite simply, it was her first UK no. 1 and it is an absolute classic floor filler. It is one of her best songs so why they took it off defies belief. I only hope when they re-release Like a virgin again, 'Into the groove' re-appears. NOW... as for the album itself. 'Like a virgin' features her 80s smashes 'Material Girl,' 'Angel,' 'Dress You Up' ...
...tracks are amongst her best recorded work. If you're a fan of 80s music, you are bound to know all of them. Nile Rodgers' production is fantastic, the lyrics are infectious and uplifting and all of the hits will get you grooving no matter what you're doing. Unlike a lot of 80s music, these 4 hits still work today, proving how Madonna transcends every barrier possible. I must hear either 'Material Girl' or 'Dress you up' on the radio at least twice ...

Hello and welcome to the review that should have been here. It was here but its not here now as I have taken it and put it into my private stash somewhere else. It may well appear somewhere else online and if it does it will have my name on it. Thank you to everyone, to all the people in my COT over the years who have stuck by me and who have been great influences over the reviews I have written. It is indeed a sad case that reviewers have to come ...
...sense at all when the original content should be listed and frankly because of endless problems with Ciao I no longer have the time and energy to carry on. Each time I tried, it didn't work. Each message I sent to other members, they didn't appear. Each rate I applied, it didn't show. So that's the end of it. Ty for reading. ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: it is milking it a little

...The Groove ...... and Like A Virgin (for which the gondola video is still memorable) The rest of the songs do mirror albums of the time, a couple of strong tracks that got released into the charts and the rest quickly strung together to try and make an album long enough! These instantly forgettable tracks include: Angel, Over and Over, Sho be doo and Pretender Oh and there is a passable cover version of love don't live here any more. It took ... Read review

Advantages: It's interesting to see how much better Madonna has become over the years
Disadvantages: The remixes - get the original so you can say you have it, rather than this

...Girl, Into The Groove and Like A Virgin are the classics, and the cover of Love Don’t Live Here Anymore is beautiful. Other songs, such as Shoo-Bee-Doo and Pretender are instantly forgettable. You’ll know the singles, but most of the others tend to wash over your head. It’s a good 80’s pop album, but not great overall. ... Read review

Advantages: A string of 80s Hits
Disadvantages: Might sound too dated if you're not a fan

...This is the album that really shot Madonna to fame. It's full of bubble-gum 80s Pop with the edge that defines the Madonna we have grown to love. Hits on this album include the anthemic "Material Girl", the more rock chick influenced "Dress you up" and the very famous "Like a virgin". 2 ballads are also part of the bargain with "Shoo Bee Doo" and a Rose Royce cover for "Love Don't Live Here Anymore". "Like a virgin" could have done without them but I guess you need to chill out a bit while practicing your 80s moves around the house! A great album for pop lovers and Madonna fans. Avoid if you're not keen on "Minnie Mouse" voice, buy it if you want a cheerful trip down memory lane!... Read review
