True Blue The Silver Collection

This is one of those mushy albums tht i guess any romantic would love to own. To begin with, I love all Madonna albums and True Blue stands 4th in my album fav list. I feel 5 stars is just not enough for this timeless classic, this album goes way beyond words.More than the album the album cover caught my eye.Madge looks so beautiful..fresh as a flower..The cover shows a simple blue background which is the main theme of this album..yet wht makes the cover classy is the seductive upturned heaven pose by Madonna. Now some reviews abt the tracks 1. PAPA DON'T PREACH- The opening track..sometimes i think this shud have been replaced by True Blue.Too controversial for its time as the track is based on teen pregnancy which tells us a tale of a young girl's will of keeping the baby despite all odds.A track with a powerful message. "Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby, oh I'm gonna keep my baby" Overall i rate this 4. 2. OPEN YOUR HEART- This song's catchy and those of u who have watched the video will prefer it more than the track..not one of my favs Overall the rating is 3. 3. WHITE HEAT- One of my fav tracks..dedicated to Jimmy cagney this song contains dialogue extract from the 1954 movie 'White Heat'.Playful, seductive yet catchy tune..this song tends to hit ur system and sounds fresh even today. "I don't want to live out your fantasy Love's not that easy This time you're gonna, gonna have to play my way Come on make my day" A must hear.Overall i rate this song 5. 4. LIVE TO TELL- After all the heat and hype comes a mellow track to calm down ur senses.Sometimes in the dead of the night i find myself humming this track..just like a prayer i feel connected to this song..a confession u knw!! One of the best Madonna ballads.. "A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope I live to tell The secret I have learned, 'till then It will burn inside of me" Overall rating-4.5 5. WHERE'S THE PARTY- A complete party song where Madge talks about having some fun amidst the work and chaos. "Where's the party, I want to free my soul Where's the party, I want to lose control" Overall rating-3 6. TRUE BLUE- This track has a special place in my heart..i have even sung a cover version of this..this track's a must hear for all the ppl in love. "True love You're the one I'm dreaming of Your heart fits me like a glove And I'm gonna be true blue baby I love you" Overall i rate this 5 7. LA ISLA BONITA- One of my all time fav Madonna song...thsi track is best listened at night..i keep listening to this over and over and over.. "I want to be where the sun warms the sky When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by Beautiful faces, no cares in this world Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl" Overall i rate this 5. 8. JIMMY JIMMY- Only diehard Madonna fans will like this track..for others u can ignore it.. 9. LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND- A song with the message of peace and harmony..stands so true in today's world..need i say more? if u wanna knw just listen to this track. "There's hunger everywhere We've got to take a stand Reach out for someone's hand Love makes the world go round" Madge at her lyrical best..The best tracks are Papa Don't Preach, La Isla Bonita, White Heat, True Blue, Love Makes the World go Round.

Much better vinyl pressing than the original recording, the bass is tighter and more present, with better details. Thanks.

"True Blue" makes it three-for-three for Madonna, now residing at the forefront of the public awareness as if she'd been there forever. Honestly...isn't it now difficult to remember a time BEFORE Madonna? You sort of automatically jump back to either disco or Led Zeppelin. Anyways, she continues to grow as an artist and singer, while trying some new pop flavors on for size. "Papa Don't Preach" is one of her typical, awesome pop songs, but in what has become sort of cliche for her, intentionally provocative. Seeing the furor caused by "Virgin", she found it necessary to tweak our sensibilities with each subsequent record...at least once. (Think "Like A Prayer", the "Justify My Love" video, the whole "Erotica/Sex" thing...) But the song has a killer melody, great drums and keyboards, and she sings so enthusiastically...you're hooked. "Open Your Heart" is even better. This is a great song, backwards and forwards. The synth lines and chord washes back up her soaring vocals. "White Heat" is a sort-of failed attempt at melding the whole Jimmy Cagney thing to a pop song. Ah...but with "Live To Tell", first heard in the great flick, "At Close Range", Madonna nails her first epic ballad. Man does this still sound good. Mysterious, moody... "Where's The Party" is yet another dance club anthem guaranteed to get people on the floor at any party. Most great pop songs are fairly simple and direct, as is this. Lots of fun. "True Blue" goes a bit further than "Shoo-Be-Doo" in showing off her fondness for the girl groups of yesteryear. You can't deny it sounds sweet on the radio though. Again, simple and fun, with a catchy melody and bouncy tempo...what more should you ask for? "La Isla Bonita" adds an exquisite Latin flavor to a "Madonna" song, and it fits like a glove...for many, the highlight of the album. "Jimmy Jimmy" is the one forgettable, skippable tune on the set. I can instantly hum every melody of every song on this album, but I can never recall this one. My personal fave is "Love Makes The World Go Round". It's not deep. It's not particularly original in lyric, but it has this little Caribbean flavor to it's uptempo sequences, and the chorus just destroys me every time...and Madonna sings her butt off during the bridges... The nice remaster includes two additional but unnecessary remixes. If you have either of the first two albums, you'll need this one.

Très satisfait reçu rapidement Un très bon cd de la Madonne !

Thank you for everything!

Madonna es siempre un acierto y lo cogí por coleccionismo y porque es de los mejores álbumes clásicos que tiene. Grandes hits como true blue o cherrish. Sobran las palabras.

Superbra skiva, en av Madonnas bästa. Det var till en bra pris och jag är jättenöjd. Mycket bra köp!

Recebi o LP True Blue da Madonna em sua edição especial com vinil prata e fiquei impressionado com a qualidade. A prensagem está impecável, com som limpo, encarte bem reproduzido e acabamento visual que valoriza ainda mais esse clássico do pop. A entrega pela Amazon foi rápida e o produto chegou em perfeitas condições, bem embalado e protegido. True Blue, lançado em 1986, marcou uma virada na carreira de Madonna, consolidando seu status como ícone global. Com hits como “Papa Don’t Preach”, “Live to Tell” e “La Isla Bonita”, o álbum revelou uma artista mais madura, tanto liricamente quanto musicalmente. Curiosamente, o título e o tom mais romântico foram inspirados em seu relacionamento com Sean Penn, e o disco foi dedicado a ele.
