The Holiday Collection

by

Madonna

Edit

Without a doubt, this CD is fantastic! Complete with the supposedly "forgotten" Immaculate Collection tracks, it simply swings!

Holiday is the original version, not the shortened, watered down Immaculate Collection version! In my opinion, the best wersion yet.

True Blue is a beautiful track of sheer joy and fun. Written in the days of the Sean Penn marriage, I'd imagine it was written about him!

Who's That Girl...why, it's a Madonna classic! A latin track that feels much like La Isla Bonita. Note: Listen carefully right before Madonna sings "run faster" in the first verse; you'll here 'Murray the Cougar' from the movie "Who's That Girl" growl in the background!

Causin' A Commotion is one of the ultimate Madonna dance tracks and is one of my personal favorties! On this sampler, it is slightly remixed and made better by new keyboard and guitar arrangements. Also, it is a little shorter than the original version, clocking in at 4:06. All in all a great dance number!!

In conclusion, if you buy the Immaculate Collection, pick this one up too! It's a wonderful companion and no Madonna fan should be without it!!

For Madonna fans who missed some songs from her first greatest hits compilation, this is a rare gem. It included the full version of "Holiday," and album versions of "True Blue" and "Who's That Girl." These are title tracks from her albums of 1986 and 1987. The bonus here is the single remix version of "Causing a Commotion" not available anyhwere. It arguably sounds better than the original single version.

Madonna complemented her Immaculate Collection by releasing this compilation.

However, she could have included at least two or three more tracks to truly complete her IC and these songs may be "Keep It Together" "Burning Up" "Everybody" or "Dress You Up/Angel."

Whatever the reason may be, your Madonna collection is not complete without "The Holiday Collection."

long live the queen!
