Yes I know, I've had a year out again! With all the mortgage worries of 2008, I decided I had to work on my business website more and that meant I had no choice but to halt the Madonna life!

Well its nearing the end of Feb 2009 and things are looking fine again now so I am back on the Madonna situ again, not that I ever stopped collecting, just had a break from the website!

If you have sent me info and images throughout 2008 then THANK YOU and I will start getting these online and get right back into updates on here!!

Don't agree? - Have more information? - Got something to add to Hot News? TELL ME!

Mexico has once again bought out a great promo CD, and this time it's picture inlay'tastic..

This is the Mexican 1-mix promo CD for Give It To Me, and this time around Warners Mexico have opted for a picture inlay in thin jewel case, similar to those released in Europe..

Inludes Sencillio Promocional Prohibida Su Venda warning which is different to all the other Mexican Madonna promos pressed up to now!

• Give It To Me Edit

10th June and Give It To Me promos have started!!!!!

This is the first promo CD I am aware of! It's the UK 1 mix Edit promo with picture inlay and comes in usual thin jewel casing!

• Give It To Me Edit

This time around promo cds here in the UK have been so hard to acquire so i wonder how quickly this will become scarce!

Thanks to Alen Fenwick as ever so these amazing pics of the latest UK promo CD for Give It To Me!

The first of the multi-mix UK promo CDs for Give It To Me and what a stunner!

This comes in usual perforated card gate-fold cover (thicker card than usual). Comes in poly walet like usual and has rather nice promo sticker on the back! This is rare as far as I can see right now! Has 8 mixes:

• Oakenfold Extended Mix
• Eddie Amador Club 7 Edit
• Jody Den Broeder Club 7 Edit
• Eddie Amador Houselover Mix
• Oakenfold Dub
• Jody Den Broeder Dub
• Eddie Amador Dub
• Radio Edit/ Album Version

Germany has just had it's 6 mix maxi CD release of 4 Minutes! I wonder if the UK will be next?

The German maxi CD has '9362-49871-2' catlogue number and is "Made in EU" Mixes will probably be as follows:

• Bob Sinclar Space Funk Remix 5:39
• Junkie XL Remix
• Tracy Young House Mix 7:55
• Peter Saves Paris Remix 8:37
• Rebirth Remix 7:57
• Junkie XL Dirty Dub 4:52

If you know of any other 6 mix maxi CDs that have yet to be featured here let me know and I'll add them!

Thanks to Pablo Augusto Gómez for letting me know about this wonderful Argentine LTD CD for 4 Minutes, their first ever LTD that I know of!!

IS THIS FAKE? CAN ANYONE TELL ME MORE. I HAVE A BIG ARGENTINE CONTACT WHO SAYS ITS FAKE. AND FABIO, BIG MADONNA COLLECTOR SAYS ITS FAKE!

To Kevin,
I am a madonna fan just like you, and i have been collecting madonna since 1992 and i have a collection of more than 700 cds from all around the world, i have extremely rare cds from Australia, Japan and Colombia which are the rarest and hardest items to find..... so i believe that i have some authority to tell you that this item is 100% original... and if it is fake pls tell your friend dealers to get them, a fake item is always available at very low cost....!

What happens here is that there are lot of people who have never seen this item before because it was issued to certain people and certain tv programmes and warner argentina people, did you know that warner argentina made a hard candy box limited edition cd? the cd album in an extremely gorgeous full colour box? i guess not... neither your dealers and madonna fans... but i do know that there is one and i don´t have it because it was not issued for the rest of the people,just for a few..... and i was lucky enough to get at least one copy of the 4 minutes cd so please tell argentine dealers that they are wrong and should be informed better...

Nilda from Argentina says:
Hello, I am from argentina and i was collecting madonna stuff since 5 years ago. I agree with Pablo, this CD is official. I also have this limited edition in my own collection and I can confirm it was very very limited. best wishes, Nilda

Well there was a time when the UK lead the way for LTD's ut maybe it's time for Argentina! This is their amazing LTD poster sleeve CD for 4 Minutes and it looks fab!

The cover opens out to reveal a cool Madonna poster and is certainly set to become very sort-after by us crazy collectors! This also contains 6 mixes which is the first CD single so far to contact 6 mixes. I wonder if Europe will get a 6 mix pressing still?

• Bob Sinclar Space Funk Remix 5:39
• Junkie XL Remix
• Tracy Young House Mix 7:55
• Peter Saves Paris Remix 8:37
• Rebirth Remix 7:57
• Junkie XL Dirty Dub 4:52

Thanks as always to Sam and to and Tony Parsons for letting me know about yet another USA promo CD for 4 Minutes! Thanks Alan Fenwick for the image!

Think this is America's 4th promo CD for 4 Minutes and there may be another similar Peter Rauhofer remix promo CD?

This is the "Remixes" Digital Clone promo CD dated: 04/08/08; the second digital clone that I am aware of so far for 4 Minutes. Comes in ultra-thin jewel case and NO inlay! Includes two Peter Rauhofer remixes:

• Peter Save New York 10:52
• Peter Save London 8:03

Its is very unusual for Hong King to release promo CD's for Madonna let alone issue a 'playback' promo and goodie bag!

This is the mega rare and impossible to get playback promo and goodie bag form Hong Kong. The 'playback' promo set consists of:

• Mega Rare HK 4 Minutes, 2 mix promo CD w/ stickered casing!
• Bag of sweets
• 4 Minutes promo badge
• HK Madonna cover magazine
• Promo stickered paper goodie bag

This is very hard to find and very rare for Hing Kong to manufacture a Madonna promo CD! The CD is similar to the rare UK 2 mix promo CD but carries Hong Kong manufacture working factory pressed as part of the disc design!

????????????????????????

Well just when you thought it was safe to spend all ya mortgage money on Madonna promos....

...this is the second and mega rare Argentine promo CD single for 4 Minutes. Features Warner Music Argentina custom promo disc with PRCD 2109 catalogue number and five of the seven house remixes:

• Bob Sinclar Space Funk Remix 5:39
• Junkie XL Remix 6:16
• Tracy Young House Mix 7:55
• Peter Saves Paris Remix 8:37
• Rebirth Remix 7:57

This basically includes the full-length house remixes and omits the 'Dubs'! (Junkie XL Dirty Dub 4:52 & Tracy Young House Dub 7:54)

Brought to my attention by fellow UK collector Tony Parsons, so thanks for that mate!

There appears to be a 6 mix promo CD issued in Thailand for PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY! Apparently has some kind of hole punched into the sleeve, denoting promotional use, and includes the usual promo warning on the disc! Comes sealed!

• Bob Sinclar Space Funk Remix 5:39
• Junkie XL Remix
• Tracy Young House Mix 7:55
• Peter Saves Paris Remix 8:37
• Rebirth Remix 7:57
• Junkie XL Dirty Dub 4:52

Thanks as always to Alan Fenwick for these wonderful images!

Here in the UK promo DVD's are totally impossile to acqure and I have yet to add one to my more recent collecting!

This is no doubt the hardest promo to acquire from the UK 4 Minutes release! Its a wonderful gem, and how cool is it to see the Sire logo again!!

This is PAL system so manufactured for the UK and appears to be made by DVS InteleStream. I love the "This is on security and CAN NOT air until Sunday April 6th US time zone"! Comes in ultra slim jewel case and the following videos:

• Full Length Video 4:08
• :30 Cutdown

If you have a spare copy please contact me!!

Thanks as always to Alan Fenwick for these wonderful images!

UK promo CDs have been almost impossible to acquire this time around and the 7 mix version is no exception!

This is the UK 7 mix promo CD in plastic slip case, no artwork, no inlay, but dam hard to find all the same. Comes with the 7 'house' mixes:

• Bob Sinclar Space Funk Remix 5:39
• Junkie XL Remix 6:16
• Junkie XL Dirty Dub 4:52
• Tracy Young House Mix 7:55
• Tracy Young House Dub 7:54
• Peter Saves Paris Remix 8:37
• Rebirth Remix 7:57

Now this is rare and equally beautiful and what an item for 4 Minutes!

This is the totally unique Colombian promo CD for 4 Minutes with 'Madonna & Justin' cover artwork, as otherwise only used for the commercial release of the single around the world.

This initially comes in sealed card slip case similar in format to the Argentine promo! This however has cool disc artwork which is certain to make it the most sort after of all 4 Minutes promo CDs!

• Edit 3:10
• Album Version 4:04

Thanks as always to Alan Fenwick for these wonderful images!

Argentina are fairly new to the CD single market with only a couple of Madonna singles made there so far, but made up for that with this stunning promo CD!

This is the Argentine promo CD single which unlike the others comes with Hard Candy sleeve! 'PRCD 17108' comes in card slip case with custum back design, very similar to USA promo CDs.

These initially come factory sealed and carry the usual Spanish 'Disco Promocional Prohibida Su Venta' promo only wording and WB Argentina logo. Comes with two mixes of 4 Minutes:

• Edit 3:10
• Album Version 4:04

I know these are 100% genuine but can anyone confirm if the initial 'white disc' Argentine promo CD in thick jewel case and promo sticker only is real or fake?

Thanks as always to Alan Fenwick for these wonderful images!

Certainly not Australias first promo CD but as always these are rare and not too many are manufactured!

Seem to recall this is however their first 'official looking' official promo CD though! Most have looked rather 'home made' but 100% official. I just love the "Promotional Use Only Never For Sale" wording!!

Comes in yet another unique custom promo sleeve and white disc complete with WB logo and Warner Music Australia! Tracks are:

• Edit
• Album Version

Mexico has very few promo CDs, Die Another Day and Thunderpuss GHV2 Megamix spring to mind, so its great to see one for 4 Minutes.

These are very similar to the USA promo CDs and pretty much the same as the American 2 Mix, with Spanish 'Prohibida...' warning and additional barcode, and PCD 234 catalogue number, and lovely all the same!

• Edit 3:10
• Album Version 4:04

The third USA promo CD for 4 Minutes loaded with House mixes!

This is the 7 mix USA promo CD with back inlay only and factory printed disc, the standard right now for most USA promos!

Comes with PRO-CDR-510460

• Bob Sinclar Space Funk Remix 5:39
• Junkie XL Remix 6:16
• Junkie XL Dirty Dub 4:52
• Tracy Young House Mix 7:55

• Peter Saves Paris Remix 8:37
• Rebirth Remix 7:57

The first 4 Minutes USA Digital Clone promo. I had six in my collection for Sorry, so lets hope for more, hehe!!

Same format as former Digital Clone promos; this has 04/15/08 date and usual warning on the disc.. Comes without any sort of inlay and in ultra-slim jewel case. Rather nice! Comes with the following 4 remixes:

• Bob Sinclar Space Funk Edit 3:22
• Tracy Young's House Radio 3:33
• Junkie XL Remix Edit 4:39
• Tracy Young's Mixshow Edit 6:19

Hard Candy is here boys and girls and what a totally cool, and rather tasty promo only item!

This is the first of the UK promo only Hard Candy merchandise and what cool items these are. These are American (Whirly Pop 85g) lollypops, about 10cm diameter on sturdy wooden stick with full colour Madonna, Hard Candy sticker and pink rear sticker.

Why not make me an offer on a set of three lolLypops!! MINT, SEALED AND 100% OFFICIAL!!

This is the UK's second Madonna cover for 4 Minutes and you get two versions as well!

Yes Elle madness is about to unleash it'self on us Madonna collectors, once again and the third time in a big way!!

The May 2008 edition is out right now and comes in two sizes, both identical content... One is the regular format and the other is smaller, like American A4 size... It's the first a Madonna cover has come out like this!

This edition is called the Collector Edition which will only add to it's scarcity... Features cover by Tom Monro, along with 11 pages of Madonna including an interview titled 'Always In Control' and lots more pictures of Madonna by Tom Monro..

This is the first UK cover magazine for Hard Candy and 4 Minutes and what an amazing cover!!

This is a really cool fashion magazine which starts with a rather cool collage made from pictures of Madonna titled REINVENTION. Page 130 is the beginning of an amazing 70 pages of Madonna related articles commencing with a five page interview with Madonna.

The other 65 pages are jam packed with Madonna related articles. This is a never before seen idea with lots men and ladies deplicting the styles of Madonna wearing some really brilliant outfits which were styled around Madonna's various styles over the past 22 years!

This is a MUST HAVE magazine as far as I am concerned, very original!

Thanks to my good friend Pablo Augusto Gómez for initially telling me about this Argentine promo CD for 4 Minutes..

This is a rather naughty little item from Argentina. Its their first promo CD for 4 Minutes and features the two mixes found on all 2 mix promos to date. Has custom white label probaby stuck on by Warners! The casing comes complete with rather nice printed promo sticker!

• Edit 3:10
• Album Version 4:04

Thanks as always to Alan Fenwick for these wonderful images!

This appears to be America's first promo CD for 4 Minutes with PRO-CDR-446652 catalogue number! Has the standard 2 mixes and traditional custom inlay and disc.

• Album Version 4:04
