I'm SO HAPPY FOR YOU.

And not at all jealous.

Very Happy

Now I gotta get the single of Secret with Let Down Your Guard on it.

Ooh, and last night I won a mint 12" of Lucky Star (the one with the TV cover) off Ebay UK.

I've been very good actually and limiting myself to one 12" a week!

I'm happy for you too - I have that Lucky Star 12" - just busting for the other one now. With the Secret, you're talking about the 12" record? I did have the cd single on auction until I realised it was worth too much to sell on TradeMe!! (So glad no-one bought it for the giveaway price I had it listed at).

Funny story about secret. When it came out, I was in a record shop in Auckland and I asked the guy behind the counter if Madonna's new CD single had been released. He smirked at me and said no but he has a copy and started parading it in front of me. I kinda acted like I didn't care at all but his manager saw this going on and told him he had to sell it to me now if I wanted it. He looked at me with such venom in his eyes when I announced I wanted it. I couldn't very well say no.

BTW, you can also get an Aussie cardboard CD single with let down your guard which crops up in real groovy bins quite a bit and also this 12" record from Germany which people tend to forget about and the 7" pic disc and I think that the cassette single also contains that song, but will have to check - anyway there is an abundance of different formats for you to find that song on Shocked

Thanks Corey, I am scanning the bargain bins at Real Groovy, only want it on CD so I have a hard copy of the song.

Its easy to find though, Ebay and Amazon have heaps but I'm sure a CD copy will crop up in NZ for peanuts.

Also waiting for a 12" with pic sleeve to crop up, purely for the 12" collection.

Hey Shane I saw yours listed but it said it didn't come with a case so I flagged it. Definitely want the case/sleeve with it.

It is in a case, just not it's original case. Anyway, according to that madonnarecords site it's worth US$20.00! (German cd). So I swapped it for Hung Up. I've tried several times to get the 7" picture disc - it's always really popular and always sells for too much! Might get one one of these days....

I have a copy of the 12" Secret - but its not a photo sleeve, its a white sleeve with the title written in big letters in pink and blue. I'd look for a photo but I'm too tired. (Damn university).

I've seen that one Brad, its seems to be the easiest one to find these days. Are you looking to sell it ? lol

Guest

I've got that one as well....

I know I said no more eBay, but I've just bought these..... What was the last thing you bought? - Page 2 Dick_t10

Cute. Lol.

I just bought a 12" Holiday (Train Station sleeve).

Cost? A back-breaking $1.75 (US).

The seller is a real winner. In the item description: "That's right this is a 12" single. When I first listen to this record, I thought her voice definitely changed. It sounded like a Man's voice. Then I realized it was a 45rpm recording."

Naaaaaaw. But I am waiting for you to get back to me, vis-a-vis Re-Invention Tour Bootleg DVD thingy. Still happy to try and fix the audio, and if you throw in DVD's of the Virgin Tour and Blond Ambition Tour for me, I'll give you some nice shiny coinage. ^_^

Subject: Re: What was the last thing you bought? Wed Oct 15, 2008 10:07 pm

Hurrah, I won an auction for 3 x 12" singles on Ebay,

-Everybody
-Secret
-Gambler

So got three more coming for the collection. My mint Lucky Star 12" arrived and its my pride and joy at the moment!

Guest

Do you want the Lucky Star sunglasses sleeve as well?

Subject: Re: What was the last thing you bought? Wed Oct 15, 2008 11:01 pm

If it came up at a reasonable price, I might.

Guest

I wish it would - I was trying to get one, but I think it went over US$50 or something.

Geeeeeeeeeen. If I may quote myself:

Subject: Re: What was the last thing you bought? Mon Jan 12, 2009 4:43 am

Oooooh ... last thing I bought? A bunch of CD singles that I'd been missing.

- I'll Remember
- Sorry (3-track with full-length Let It Will Be remix, hurrah hurrah)
- Secret (with Let Down Your Guard, for a weeny $5 US)
- Probably something else

They're taking ages to get here because of a weeny oversight at Amazon. For some reason they decided to try to ship my stuff to:

Bradley Pratt
blah blah blah
Tawa
Wellington 5028
New York

Hmm.

Subject: Re: What was the last thing you bought? Mon Jan 12, 2009 9:21 am

i love new york, i love new york other places make me feel like a dork LOL
what a balls up eh?

Subject: Re: What was the last thing you bought? Tue Jan 13, 2009 3:29 am

What a balls up indeed.

And those lyrics...

Just one more reason why Madonna won't come to New Zealand. She knows that her fans here are the ones most likely to take the royal piss out of her.

Subject: Re: What was the last thing you bought? Tue Jan 13, 2009 8:36 am

not my lyrics sweetie anywho, i think shed be chuffed that after all these years her fans still REMEMBER the lyrics..... LOL.
i certainly wasnt taking the piss, just couldnt believe amazon could make such a royal balls up. confused

Subject: Re: What was the last thing you bought? Wed Jan 14, 2009 7:58 am

Yeah I know I'm just saying those are some of Maddy's lyrics that are just, unforgivable. And New Zealanders would read them and laugh. Likewise Love Profusion:

"And I know I can feel bad,
When I get in a bad mood..."

Well I'll be.

She cracks me up sometimes. XD

Subject: Re: What was the last thing you bought? Mon Jan 19, 2009 10:00 am

I have been so slack, the last thing I bought was the GHV2 Limited Edition from Amazon Sad

Hubby is going to the US in May so I might do some Ebay buying and get him to haul it all back for me...will save a bomb in postage!

When are we going to get a special release of something...there's lots of talk around Blond Ambition on DVD.
