Like a Virgin

Product Information

Like A Virgin, Material Girl, Into The Groove, Dress You Up, Angel, Love Don't Live Here Anymore - we all knew all the words and played it constantly while wearing out our VHS Video copy of The Virgin Tour. It spent two alternative weeks at the top (21st Sept and 12th Oct 1985), and a total of 152 weeks on the chart. On December 13, 1984, Madonna performed "Like a Virgin" on BBC One's program Top of the Pops, wearing punky torn tights, a vivid pink wig, religious accessories and layered mesh tops. It was certified two times platinum by the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP) for shipment of 600,000 copies.

Early on there were plans to schedule dates in England and Japan due to Madonna's large fan base in both countries. Hugo Mistry from the Chicago Tribune felt that " Like a Virgin was Madonna's breakthrough, playing off her self-conscious campiness with a series of hot dance tracks, attention-grabbing lyrics and steamy videos.

Elsewhere, Like a Virgin reached number one in Germany, the Netherlands and Spain, [113] [114] [115] while peaking within the top five in many other countries, including Austria, Japan, Sweden and Switzerland. I was very much into doing everything live, so I just said, 'Madonna, you go out there and sing and we will follow you. It talks about seduction and the insecurity felt by a woman who feels that things are moving too quickly for her with her man. Like a Virgin had completed recording by April 1984, but the release of the album was held up, much to Madonna's frustration, by the continuing sales of her debut album, which had exceeded one million sales in the United States.

The following year, it received an additional platinum with the same level-requeriments (making a total of 1 million certified units) despite that for new releases, a platinum was equivalent to 200,000 copies at that time. 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. OK, so Thriller was an excellent album, but even Michael Jackson couldn't claim it had that big an impact. Although we wait in vain for Warners to deliver any kind of Madonna deluxe reissues, they are certainly keeping the vinyl coming, since a few days after The Immaculate Collection was reissued as a two-LP set, a new listing has appeared on a couple of retail sites for a white vinyl pressing of Like A Virgin.

True Blue,Music and Confessions seem to be her most enjoyable and perfect albums (not bein' controversial).
