BURNING UP
|
 This was Madonna's first single in Japan, only issued in 7" single format, and what a beauty. Japanese 7"'s are of superior quality to those from the West and come not in a picture sleeve but with a 7" picture insert and usually come with some sort of black-and-white information sheet. Burning Up (P-1775) came with a typically unique sleeve. Expect to pay around £30 for a mint copy.
