never knew this was a digital recording. plus madonna was very into the production of it. from wiki: Jason Corsaro, the record's audio engineer, persuaded Rodgers to use digital recording, a new technique at the time which Corsaro believed was going to be the future of recording.[9] To ensure this, Corsaro used a Sony 3324 24-track digital tape recorder and a Sony F1 two-track during the mixing of the tracks. Madonna recorded the lead parts of the songs in a small, wooden, high-ceilinged piano room at the back of Studio C, also known as Power Station's "R&B room".[9] Corsaro then placed gobos around her while using the top capsule of a stereo AKG C24 tube microphone, with a Schoeps microphone preamplifier and a Pultec equalizer. Once the tracks met with everybody's approval, Robert Sabino added the keyboard parts, playing mostly a Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, as well as some Rhodes piano and acoustic piano, while Rodgers also played a Synclavier. Madonna, although not required, was present every minute of the recording sessions and the mixing process, Corsaro commented: "Nile was there most of the time, but she was there all of the time. She never left".

Her debut didn't insist on a curse of the second album - "Madonna" was fun and a document of a career in the making. "Like A Virgin" kicked the doors down, a landmark album filled with ace tracks. Some of them may not have stood the test of time though, sounding forever captured by the 80s vibe, some others remain overplayed by now - but returning to the lot only brings back good memories and provides with deserved (and if you like, repeated) listens. Depending on your version of choice but the one including "Into The Groove" is definitely more spot on.

Amazingly 31 years and not a box set has been created for this fantastic pop album,scandalous to say the lest, maybe fans will have one for "the pension years"
