Amazon.com essential recording
A quintessential '80s pop artifact, Madonna's third album was a huge musical leap forward and ranks with Like a Prayer and Ray of Light in the top echelon of her works. Only the title track (a bit too obviously a '60s girl-group homage) and the fine-but-nothing-special "Jimmy Jimmy" slightly lower the quality bar. Most of the songs share a jittery dance-pop sound, edgy, distracted, and nerve-jangling but simultaneously invigorating and exhilarating and almost dangerously giddy--a perfect soundtrack for the mid-'80s. Highlights include the hedonist's credo of "Where's the Party," the subtle and pretty Latin pastiche "La Isla Bonita," and, towering above all, three stunning mega-hits. "Papa Don't Preach," with its gorgeous pseudo-classical strings intro, is a sumptuous airwaves banquet, as Madonna wrestles with the have-the-baby-or-give-it-up dilemma (abortion's not in the picture) in newly gritty tones. "Open Your Heart"'s marriage of jitter-pop and wistful melody underscores the singer's yearning but forceful stance ("You better open your heart to me, buster"). And "Live to Tell" is a riveting ballad, lushly melodic yet spare and haunting--a place, as the song says, where beauty lives. --Ken Barnes

The Eva Peron voice, although hailed, sucks compared to the vocals on this LP. Madonna's vocals are pure and perfect, wrapped in the wonderful melodies. Pat and Stephen are in great form here too, add "Spotlight" and you've a perfect pop album for all the time capsules.

This album is magical and pure genius. With this album madonna became the biggest star in the world and has remained that way ever since. She is the greatest and most talented artist in the business not to mention the smartest and the one with the most staying power. The songs Live to tell, Papa don't preach, Open your heart, La isla bonita, and true blue are considered classic 20 years later especially now with this remastered version. EXCELLENT madonna.

True Blue is definitive Madonna 1986. When I first heard this album, I decided that Madonna was a true musician, on her way to the top. So somewhere along the line, I lost that 1986 release to an ex-wife or ex-girlfriend.
This remastered CD is terrible! You know those idiots who drive by your house with the thump! thump! thump! issuing from their rolled-up windows? The people that they put up Noise Ordinance signs for? Well, that same tone-deaf moron remastered a beautiful album. The vocals (and hence the lyrics) are buried beneath an over-powered 120dB bass and a hisssssing 100 dB percussion.
After buying this remastered garbage, I couldn't wait to go an buy a used copy of the original. My recommendation? Save your money on this remastered album, and buy the original 1986 release! js
