"The Immaculate Collection" by Madonna (1990, Sire/Warner Bros.)

"The Immaculate Collection" album cover

       At the height of Madonna's career and end of promotion for her soundtrack album, "I'm Breathless", Sire Records decided to issue her first compilation album.  She went into the studio to record new material in August 1990.
       In November, "Justify My Love" was released as the lead single off of, "The Immaculate Collection" released shortly after.  In February 1991, "Rescue Me" was released as the second and final single.
       The album charted at #2, while its singles charted as follows: "Justify My Love" (#1) and "Rescue Me" (#9), most likely due to the fact that the first single was so controversial that it outshone the second single.
       All songs (except for the two singles) were previously featured on her four studio albums: "Madonna" (1983), "Like a Virgin" (1984), "True Blue" (1986) and "Like a Prayer" (1989), also the remix album, "You Can Dance" (1987) and the soundtrack album, "I'm Breathless" (1990).  The hit single, "Crazy for You" was not previously available on an official Madonna album.
      This album ended her four-album, one compilation album contract with Sire/Warner Bros.
