Amazon.com essential recording
The naughtily titled Immaculate Collection culls 15 of Madonna's Top 10 singles from 1984 to mid-'90, plus 2 new ones that continued the run (the dirty, trunk-bumping funk of "Justify My Love"--a Lenny Kravitz production that justifies his entire career--and the danceable desperation of "Rescue Me"). Rooted in disco and classic AM pop from girl groups and ABBA to Strawberry Alarm Clock, Madonna made savvy, touching music throughout her first golden era. These tracks retain their sonic and historical significance while, like "She Loves You" or "Rocket Man," still brightening any space they're being played in. Far more than just a wise, irreverent image-maker--like the Beatles or Elton, come to think of it--Madonna during these years was the gift that kept on giving, forever fresh, sexy, hooky, and joyously sharp. --Rickey Wright

 CD skipped December 20, 2008

I was so excited to get this CD and when I did all the songs on it were skipping! I was very dissapointed to say the least.
 If you like old-school Madonna, this is it! November 17, 2008
I've owned this 1990 CD release since 1993. It was the first CD I ever bought. This CD covers Madonna's best songs from her 1983-1989 albums. Everything from "Holiday" to "Vogue". All of these songs are rerecorded versions of the originals, so they sound a little different than the originals. Thankfully they didn't stray too far from the originals though. They are not crappy remixes or anything of that nature, just slightly updated for the time (1990). This is still one of my favorite CD's of my ever growing collection. I love about 15 of the 18 total songs, and that's unheard of!
Madonna's Greatest! October 13, 2008
This is a great collection of all of my favorite Madonna songs. I miss the Madonna of the 80's, so this was my ideal choice of Greatest Hits. Love it!

This is a collection of Madonna's greatest hits from the start of her music to 1990. Poppy gospel music, Madonna remains controvserial and popular despite her age, pushing 50 or 60 by now. Gospel shock pop.
Decent sampling of most of her best work, but not quite what the title suggests, either September 1, 2008

By the time this collection was released in 1990, Madonna had already made about 90% of her most essential recordings, so there certainly are several great songs here. However, this collection is flawed in a couple of ways. Some of her most essential songs, such as "Holiday," "Borderline," "Like A Virgin," and "Like A Prayer" are all here, as they well should be. However, if you listen closely, you'll notice that many of the songs sound considerably different than they did on the LPs or cassettes that you had in the 80s. Also, some of the songs (noticeably "Borderline") have had quite a bit of their original length chopped off. Finally, there are some less-than-subtle omissions. "Dress You Up," "Angel," "True Blue," and "Causing A Commotion," which were all big hits, are curiously absent. What Madonna needs at this point is one of those Columbia/Legacy "The Essential" anthologies, because it's impossible to collect all of Madonna's greatest on a single disc, and it's somewhat surprising that after this much time, this album, along with GHV2 (which concentrates exclusively on the 90s) are the only Madonna hits collections available.
