In July 2008, I wrote the cover feature for Record Collector magazine. The feature, ‘Madonna Rare: Unwrapping the Candy’, was a 10-page investigation of Madonna’s B-sides and other commercially released, hidden gems from the most collectable diva of all and featured commentary on these songs, taken from my original interviews with Madonna collaborators Mark Kamins, Reggie Lucas, Tony Shimkin, Greg Fitzgerald, Guy Sigsworth, Daniel Abraham, Mark Endert, Alvin Speights, Rico Conning and Kevin Parker.
The feature also revealed a couple of other exclusives – Sophie Ellis-Bextor recorded the Madonna demo, Revenge, and that a cover of another Madonna demo, I Can’t Forget, had been recorded and commercially released by UK dance outfit Tilt, albeit re-titled as Come Closer.
