HISTORICAL CONTEXT
This was Madonna’s very first single, originally released in the U.S. in October 1982, and in the UK in early 1983. While it wasn’t a massive chart success initially, it became a cult club favorite, laying the groundwork for her global rise.
This UK pressing is notable for:
• Being one of the earliest UK issues before her mainstream breakout.
• Featuring the original logo and yellow-label design associated with early Sire releases.
CONDITION OBSERVATIONS
• Vinyl: Shows visible scuffing and light scratches, especially on Side B. There is a cluster of scratches near the outer edge, which may produce audible crackle or skips depending on playback equipment.
• Labels: Light wear, some aging. Side A has a name (“Karen”) written in pen.
• Sleeve: Generic black/white paper sleeve (not the original picture sleeve).
Grading estimate:
• Vinyl: G+ (Good Plus) – plays through with surface noise likely.
• Labels: VG (Very Good)
• Sleeve: Generic – not graded
This pressing is not a common UK reissue — it’s the original 1982 UK 7” Sire pressing, released in extremely limited quantities prior to Madonna’s mainstream breakthrough. Most UK consumers at the time didn’t know who she was, making original sales very low. Hence, it’s scarce and heavily sought-after now — especially in any condition.
