Blog - Latest Madonna Collectables, Music & Memorabilia to Surface

On June 6th the Madonna Universal Music Store featured a UK Exclusive TRANSPARENT BLUE Cassette album of Madame X. This accompanies the Glitter Deluxe and Deluxe cassette albums along with various bundles incorporating the black vinyl LP, Rainbow Picture Disc LP and CD versions of the album.

It's not clear how many Blue transparent Cassette albums are available or for how long, but in my experience once supplies have gone Universal simply remove the item from their website! Then prices will no doubt rocket for such a cool little item.

This brings the total Madonna Madame X cassette album variations to four:
• Deluxe Cassete
• Deluxe Glitter Cassette
• Deluxe Blue Cassette
• Standard Cassette (boxset only)

If you live in the UK then you can use the Madonna Universal Music Store to buy all cassettes including the Exclusive Blue. Outside the UK all but the blue can be bought from Madonna Website and other online stores including FNAC.

This appears to be USA Madonna Madame X Vinyl LP with 'red lipstick' front sleeve artwork and amazing 'type writer' rear artwork; a week before release day! This apparently has USA: B0030045-01 catalogue number. This will be accompanied be a matching EU pressing. One week from the albums release and we are being tantalised with picture of the up and coming pressings. Thanks to the guys at Madonna Discography for sharing this with everyone.

The rear sleeve does seem to show a "Made In Canada" sticker so it is also possible that this is in fact Canadian?

On Friday 17th May The Sound Of Vinyl website in the United States pre-sold the Madonna, Madame X LP in limited edition Translucent Blue Vinyl format (602577697197) as an exclusive to their store. It was advertised as limited to 1000 copies available; all of which sold out almost immediately!

The Translucent Blue Vinyl exclusive LP was pictured on their website with the same artwork as the black vinyl & clear vinyl so is most likely going to be same Standard Version with gatefold sleeve!

As of writing this article prices for this $38 Translucent Blue Vinyl Madame X LP are currently trending at about $300 and prob set to rise even higher, other stores also starts selling the same pressing as 'an exclusive to them'; which I personally feel is very possible!

There has been some speculation that Translucent Blue Vinyl LP is in fact the same pressing as the previous pre-order (halted) Rainbow Picture Disc LP. However they both have different catalogue numbers and the Picture Disc was always advertised as Deluxe Version, not standard.

FNAC Spain LTD "2 Vinilos color" LP

Finally. To add to the confusion, FNAC in Spain are advertising "Madame X - Ed Limitada - 2 Vinilos color". Even with my basic Spanish language skills it looks like its being pre-sold as: two-colour vinyl, which may indicate it is the same pressing sold in the USA although the catalogue number is shown as: 0602577582837, which indicates it's the same as the RAINBOW PICTURE DISC! Yet the previous pre-order Rainbow Picture Disc from FNAC in France was supposed to have been cancelled! This same 'rainbow' pressing also appears to be available via the German Amazon website!
