MADONNA / THE FIRST ALBUM: THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION - ALTERNATES AND RARITIES [2CD]

Celebrating the career of the best-selling female artist in music history—the undisputed “Queen of Pop”—Madonna’s landmark First Album – Ultimate Collection returns as a newly curated 2025 Collector’s Edition!

Originally released in July 1983, the album features five hit singles including her debut track “Everybody,” the breakthrough club-chart No.1 “Holiday,” and the worldwide smash “Lucky Star.”
Selling over 10 million copies following her global rise, this iconic album became one of the defining releases of the 1980s and has since influenced countless female artists.

CD 1 presents newly compiled single edits and remixes of every track on the album—compact, radio-friendly short versions—followed by outtakes and unreleased material from the original recording sessions. Rare tracks from the era, including Jellybean’s “Sidewalk Talk” and an unreleased collaboration with Otto von Wernherr, are also featured.

CD 2 collects a set of rare demo recordings made before and during the early sessions with the album’s original producer, Reggie Lucas. These early versions—featuring different vocals, arrangements, and structures—capture Madonna’s raw creative process, all newly remastered in stunning high-quality sound.

A definitive deep dive into the roots of Madonna’s career, the 2025 Collector’s Edition of her groundbreaking First Album is an essential release for fans and collectors alike.
