MADONNA HOLIDAY / TRUE BLUE TRANSPARENT 12" PICTURE DISC LIMITED EDITION RARE, OUT OF PRINT!
"Holiday" is a song recorded by American singer Madonna for her debut album Madonna (1983) & was released as the album's 3rd single on Sept 7, 1983. "Holiday" later appeared remixed on the remix compilation You Can Dance (1987) & the greatest hits compilation The Immaculate Collection (1990) & in its original form on the greatest hits album Celebration (2009). The track was offered to Madonna by her producer John "Jellybean" Benitez when she was looking for a potential hit track to include on her debut album. After accepting the song, she & Benitez worked on it & altered its composition by the addition of a piano solo performed by their friend, Fred Zarr. "Holiday" features instrumentation from guitars, electronic handclaps, a cowbell & a synthesized string arrangement, while its lyrics speak about the universal sentiment of taking a holiday. Universally acclaimed by critics, the song became Madonna's 1st mainstream hit single in the USA, peaking at #16 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also became her first top-10 single in several countries including Australia, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands & the UK.
"True Blue" is a song by American singer Madonna. It is the title track from her 3rd album True Blue (1986) & was released as the album's 3rd single on Sep 17, 1986. Written & produced by Madonna & Steve Bray, the song deals with Madonna's feelings for her then-husband Sean Penn. A dance-pop song, it features instrumentation from a rhythm guitar, a synthesizer, keyboards & drums. Incorporating a chord progression generally found in doo-wop music, "True Blue" was musically inspired by the Motown's girl groups from the 1960s, which are considered the direct antecedents of Madonna's musical sound & the music she had grown up with in her hometown of Detroit. Received by the critics as a light-hearted & cute retro song, "True Blue" topped the charts in the UK, Ireland & Canada & became another consecutive top 10 song in the USA for Madonna by reaching #3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
