I think the candy-coloured records would be better slightly translucent, wouldn't you?

I actually think they look hideous, nothing candy-like whatsoever. They look like a tie dyed t-shirt that's been shot with a sawn off shotgun.

Now those rare Baby Pink and Blue ones are what make me quiver with anticipation.

Glad you got them though, dont ya love spinning that Vinyl!?

Has Give it to me single been released in NZ? I've never seen it, only the picture disc at groovy.

Do you mean the Give It 2 Me Picture disc? I've been waiting to see it Groovy in Wellington but hasn't shown up yet. Thought about just getting it off Ebay, sick of waiting for dumb old NZ to get it last.

Who knows if they will even release it here, did it do well on the NZ Charts? I dont listen to the radio so wouldn't even know if they're playing it. I haven't seen the CD Single.

Just buy it off eBay already!! I bought mine plus the UK 2 cd set of the single (for about GBP4.99 and GBP5.99 respectively - or less). Not pricey right now. I think Corey's talking about the cd single - I've never seen it here, although haven't looked too hard. PS: Remember, even not liking the Aust. releases, notice that the most valuable cd singles etc. (especially promos), are never usually the UK or US releases, but the Aust. ones (since they're produced in far smaller numbers).

Miles Away is supposed to be single number three - released SOON. Rumoured to have Ring My Bell on the B-side (which is so far only on the Japanese Hard Candy cd).

GOD IS WATCHING YOU SPINNING THOSE RARE PICTURE DISCS AND COLOURED VINYL - and is slowly judging you - you will all go to Hell Twisted Evil

- especially if you drink (of the) the Like a Prayer Pepsi can!! Rolling Eyes

Yeah, I'll buy it next month I think. Or wait til someone on TM lists one...
I wanna get those 7" white Vinyls of 4 Minutes and Give it 2 Me first.

Anyways, If I'm going to hell, I'm taking y'all down with me, unwrapping all your sealed Vinyl and scratching them like a wannabe DJ lol *frikka frikka freshhhhhhhh*

I've actually been good and haven't played my white LAP Smile

I'm gonna save that for when I'm having a really bad day to cheer me up. I've got heaps of LAP albums that I can listen to instead of the white one anyway.

I have the one without ITG (bit tatty on the cover so on the lookout for another one!), one with ITG and another one with ITG with the sticker advertising ITG.

I have like 5 CD's of LAV too. 1 with lace back cover without ITG, and 1 lace back cover with ITG.
1 white back cover without ITG and 1 white back cover with ITG. And then I have LAV remastered.

I REALLY want a scented Like a Prayer cassette though Sad

Your white LAP?? What the hell? Don't you mean your white Like A Virgin?? Great minds, and all, was just checking out the white vinyl 7" Give It To Me and 4 Minutes. The story here is THIS contains Ring My Bell, AND the best deal I could find on eBay right now was US$17.99 - a good US$10.00 (at least) better than most other traders, AND that is their Buy It Now price...ok, I'm buyin' !!!!! TWO 7" records. Description from Madonna Mania site (go to the link in Buy, Sell.. and check out this amazing site!):

I think this has gotta be one of the coolest releases from the Hard Candy Album...gotta love it...Vinyl LP 12" are becoming so obsolete...so to release a double pack 7" and have it be pressed on white vinyl.....WOW. This piece is just going to skyrocket...I just know it! Grab it while you can. Gorgeous cover art from the single releases...One side 4 Minutes, flip it over and Give It 2 Me. ...and to make it even better???? RING MY BELL (only released on the Japan Hard Candy) Sealed with special sticker on it too! MINT CONDITION!

Tracks Include:

4 Minutes (Radio Edit)

Ring My Bell

Give It 2 Me (Radio Edit)

Give It 2 Me (Eddie Amador House Lovers Edit)

I don't usually buy the later vinyl singles from Madonna but I might just make an exception for that 7", gee the last 7" I actually bought was the reissue of crazy for you!!

Yep, LAV I meant, sorry to give you a heart attack lol

I have been salivating over a LAP promo pack thingy, with the cassette, CD and film cell. But no way can I justify spending so much on it.

BTW, my Mint Erotica LP arrived- I love it, is practically brand new!

My Bedtime Stories LP arrived and I was really let down. Said the cover was Ex condition, but its VG at best. Split all down the side where the glue has come unstuck and has crusty yellow stuff on it, not to mention faded. The record surface itself is Mint, but the middle label is faded to hell. They did send me a Brazilian Sex poster, foldout book thing as a free gift, so that does take the edge off my disappointment.

Last night/Today I bought 2 Confessions Slipmats, WIFLFAG 12", Hollywood 2 x 12", and American Life 2 x 12" and 8 other 12" singles.

Tomorrow I go and get my Remixed Prayers Japanese EP CD, a new You Can Dance CD, and Dont Cry For Me Argentina 12".

Next week I'm buying the Bedtime Stories Pink Vinyl album, a scented LAP Cassette and some more 12" singles and maybe the Give it 2 Me/4 Minutes white vinyl pack.

Real Groovy is pretty slack these days, think all they have is a La Isla 12", an old LAV, 2 Angel 12" without sleeves and a 4 Min Pic Disc for $35.00.

You know I was watching a rare You can Dance CD of single edits and last time I looked it was up to $152 USD! Bugger that, I am going to have to settle for the digital version- the ever faithful download lol

WhitePanda · Subject: Re: Hard Candy Collectors Thu Sep 11, 2008 7:48 pm

Hehe yup digital is awesomes. What CD singles did you want me to email you again, btw?

Oh yeah I just bought the white vinyl set and the Give It 2 Me 12" double pack from eBay. Nearly $80 NZD. :'(

Hate to be pedantic, but picture discs have only been made in the UK since the 1980's.

Updating again:

- Hard Candy CD Album (Standard)
- Hard Candy CD Black Case Pack Thing
- 4 Minutes US Maxi Single
- 4 Minutes 2 x 12" Vinyl (2 copies, one sealed)
- 4 Minutes Picture Disc
- Give It 2 Me US Maxi Single
- Give It 2 Me Picture Disc
- Give It 2 Me Australia 3 track CD Single
- Hard Candy Triple Vinyl Pack
- 4 Minutes UK CD Singles (thank you Shane)
- US 12" Pack GI2M
- 2 x 7" White Vinyl pack

So now all I'm missing is the 2 UK set of Give It 2 Me, hurray!!

Miles Away has been confirmed as the third single, by the way. A radio edit has been made. Its kinda dull: album mix, but the intro is minus the guitar. So the beat kicks in all by itself, then when the guys start spitting into the mike (you know what I mean), then the guitar starts up and it's the album mix. Why did they bother??
