Madonna's debut album is one of those first albums that actually gives you a real taste & insight as to why the artist became who she would eventually become. In short, great pop & dance songs. "Holiday", "Borderline" & "Lucky Star" are well known classics. Yet, even the 'unknown' songs are now classic hits. Do you know "Burning Up" or "Everybody"? They're here in their original glory. Non-Single tracks like "Physical Attraction" & "Think Of Me" are solid sexy light funk songs that still sound good. I would have given this album a 5, as opposed to the 4 I gave it only because of the 1 clunker of a song, "I Know It". Great debut.

Madonna's debut release sounds dated even remastered but it's a great dated sound and it's one we all miss. Madonna's music hit the airwaves and video waves in 1984 and hasn't stopped since. Songs off the album like Lucky Star, Borderline, Everybody and Holiday are highlights and Borderline still sounds good when you hear it on the radio. Holiday is and remains a new standard and anthem for good times to come. Holiday's universal appeal and simple lyrics make it a song that everyone loves and over 20 years later, it's a song we can still dance to. Madonna happened a long time ago but her debut album still shows her sincerity and innocence, attributes that have long been dead in the Material Girl. Madonna needs to return to her musical roots and realize that less is more. What happened to that sassy, playful boy toy who promised us that one day she would rule the world? Her fancy English estate doesn't count....Come Back Home Little Madonna....Read full review
This CD has awesome dance music and in my opinion is the best of Madonna. My husband and I were talking about these songs and decided we needed this to add to our music collection. Decided to buy it when we saw the low price and that it was readily available and easy to find on EBay.
This record set the world aflame!

Great classic Madonna tunes, before she got rich and got an attitude. Nothing like a hungry artist. The remastered version has an extended version of "Burning Up", which is why I bought the re-mastered version.
